does this product remove fluoride

Hi! It should, but I haven't checked yet. I would need to send the water for examination which is not cheap as I haven't find any other cheaper way to do it. If I will have some results, I will try to update the review.

Go to the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page. Fluoride is NOT mentioned in the list. However, you can read all about what this 10-stage filter does. I know it is listed as a 3-stage filter, but it is much more. http://crystalquest.com/reverse-osmosis.htm#Portable%20Reverse%20Osmosis. I hope this answers your questions.

The filters on this one do not remove Fluoride, however you can order the fluoride filter and add it on. I got the fluoride filter from cyrstal quest for $50 , added it on and now it removes everything. The system works well. The filters last for 12-18 months depending on use. It is well worth the extra cost for the filter. good luck.

No. The big berkeys have a filter that will remove fluoride but this does not. This shower filter also has a warning to not drink whatever water goes through the filter.

No, there are other filters they sell for removing fluoride, such as the CQE-WH-11630.

http://tyentusa.com/tygo.html According to the manufacturer's website noted here, it removes 85% of the fluoride. If you have further questions, e-mail or call the company. They responded quickly to a question I had.

Most dentists would agree that fluoride is beneficial. Scientific studies differ depending on which study is used. If you don't use it and you have fluoride in your water you will be drinking it anyway. There are filters that will filter fluoride out of course. This one is primarily for taste, not for some of the really bad stuff one can get from some water.

You have to buy a separate filter for fluoride. The standard charcoal filters remove chlorine, according to the Berkey website.

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

I hit the wrong button. I should have said "no." Fluoride is a difficult thing to remove from water, and gravity carbon filter systems may not be the most efficient or effective way to do the job. If you use a gravity water filter system that has carbon in its operation, a more accurate word would be reduce rather than remove. Carbon is generally not the accepted media for fluoride reduction

No it does not. It is an enzymatic cleaner, so it is much more gentle than fluoride.

I believe the 'standard' filters DO NOT remove fluoride... separate filters are needed.

yes, distillation removes fluoride. This system is a tabletop distillation unit.

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/

The short answer is yes, it does. I believe topical fluoride is helpful & good. There are people who don't like fluoridated toothpastes, and some manufacturers have responded by offering no fluoride versions. What baffles me is: do people know many city water (tap water) contain added fluoride that we have no choice but to ingest the fluoride, without going through installing a reverse osmosis system which removes good minerals as well? With topical fluoride one could at least rinse most if it off easily.

Fluoride? It is my understanding that it does, since one of the steps involves reverse osmosis, but of course, I am not neither a specialist nor the manufacturer. Nevertheless, I am the delighted owner of two Artesian systems and I wholeheartedly recommend them after many years of use. Keep in mind that you only need to change filters once a year! I am not one of these gullible people who spend a fortune on expensive bottled water...

The only gravity fed picture water filter that does advertize fluoride removal is Clearly Filtered. That filter removes the heavy metals as good as Zero Water, and in addition also removes >90% of fluoride. I wish Mike Adams of Natural News would test to verify this manufactures claim and I wish Amazon would resell Clearly Filter Water Pictures.

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.
