Does this filter fluoride?

The website says: "What does the filter actually filter?The Aqua Vessel filter is tested to remove or reduce many common harmful elements that may be found in your tap water and US river water. Its coconut activated carbon removes 99.9% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium - the most commonly found parasites in US lakes and streams, and reduces heavy metals like lead, toxic chemicals like chlorine, sediments, and dirt.

Pretty sure the only way to remove fluoride is through reverse osmosis. The Seychelle filters claim to this...but so far have failed independent testing.

No it does not. Fluoride is a lab test, you can find one here:http://www.filterwater.com/p-380-ntl-watercheck-fluoride-water-test.aspx

Yes it does remove fluoride, but they don't advertise it as such - it has been independently tested - check it out; http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

If you are talking about fluoride, no. You will need specialty filters, distillation, or reverse osmosis to remove fluoride from tap water.

I have no comparison between different kinds of filters because I have been using only the ceramic ones and since they do an excellent job I'll stick to them. I don't think the ceramic filters remove the fluoride.

Hi.Yes good and bad minerals are filtered out.If you have fluoride in your water I'm pretty sure that gets filtered out too.

I don't see the mention of fluoride, but I do see that it removes chlorine. In that light, I would have to say, it must remove fluoride. You could try emailing the seller or the company itself. Hope this helps.

No it does not. Fluoride in a rinse like "ACT" can be used after use to reduce sensitivity.

Q. Does the ZeroWater filter remove Fluoride? A. ZeroWater filters are not certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound. The TDS meter is designed to detect inorganic compounds. Fluoride levels in water are usually around 2 to 4 ppm, which will show up on the meter as 002 to 004. So when filtered water reads 000 it is not likely that fluoride is present in water.---http://www.zerowater.com/faqs.aspx

Unfortunately NO refrigerator water filters filter out fluorine. Not allowed by Big Brother and it would make the water come out very slowly, it's hard to filter out. The best thing to do is buy an RO system and run a line to the refrigerator.

According to their website, they do filter out mercury, chromium, etc. While there is no testing protocol for pharmaceutical filtration, the activated carbon in the filter system is designed to filter organic compounds which many pharmaceuticals have, so probably does help, but no guarantee. It will take out fluoride, but if your water is heavily fluoridated, the filter will be used up quickly. The website suggets replacing the filter at .02-.04 for flouride removal. Only reverse osmosis systems handle fluoride completely. But, reverse osmosis takes out all minerals, even the ones your body needs. Have your water tested for fluoride content. It might not be as high as you think? I also let my water stand over night, so some of the chemicals that will evaporate, can do so before I pour it into the filter system. This helps my filters last longer. It is also helpful if you run your tap for a bit before you fill up. Many impurities sort of rise to the top of pipe as it sits. You will have cleaner water if you run it a bit. I imagine this is one reason a few people say their filters go bad so fast. I've never had this experience.

The ceramic filters are the only other types of filters that are used for removing fluoride, next to a reverse osmosis system, so, the answer here would be yes. Thank you, - jacques

Yes it does both produce pure H2O and filter fluoride, as well as filtering chlorine and other contaminants out of the water. The only possible downside is the water being too soft (low electrical conductivity/minerals), which I add trace minerals to my water after distilling for balance and to re-ionize the water and make it less soft.

A charcoal filter will not filter out fluoride. You would have to use reverse osmosis if you want the fluoride out.

No, the Multipure system does not address fluoride. No carbon block filter will remove fluoride, so we would recommend reverse osmosis.

Sorry, I do not know about that system you have mentioned. Call the manufacturer for those indications. BTW: This one does NOT filter out Fluoride!.Also DO NOT TWIST TO TIGHTEN THE BLACK BODY OF THIS FILTER! It will separate the glue and you will lose your filter! I made my own filter system like you see on youtube Get any size stainless steel soup pots (2). Mine are 3gallons each. I used two of these filters , which actually filter very well, and installed them in the bottom of the top pot, drilled another hole in the bottom pot for the spout, (Which you buy here, or that bay place), and there you are! Good luck, but get out the fluoride!
