Carbon filters donot remove flouride Only RO removes flouride?

John, While carbon removes a lot of contaminants, it does not remove flouride. Reverse Osmosis is the most comprehensive water filtration system in that it removes the most contaminants, including flouride, but like you said, it does mess with the Ph. I bought this 3 stage system and added an activated alumina filter to the line up. Activated alumina decreases the flouride and arsenic levels in water. Other than reverse osmosis, Activated alumina filters are the only filters that I know of that remove flouride.

Carbon filters do not remove fluoride, that is correct. Reverse osmosis will remove fluoride and special fluoride removing filters will also remove it. We have a 3 stage and a 2 stage big blue system that use fluoride removal activated alumina filters. They remove fluoride from 70-94% depending on your levels and flow rates.

No, this system is a solid carbon block filter. It works by trapping and holding contaminates. If you would like to view a copy of the NSF/California certification that lists the contaminates this filter can reduce, please give us a call at 800-842-4605 and we can email the certification or direct you to the link on our website.

There shouldn't be any in like the main pitcher, but is fine if they are in the top filter area - I still get some carbon flakes in the top of my filter, but it shouldn't matter that much.

No it has multiple stages it goes through that basically removes heavy metals and chlorine, but not flouride.

If I remember correctly, the company info indicates that the filter on this unit removes 65% of the fluoride in water that it filters. I think that information is on their web site at this link (http://www.ecoflowater.com/composite-test-results).

Thanks for the response. I have read about "solid block carbon filters" that remove fluoride, so I will look into that. Thanks again!

No list is provided with the filter. However, the box says that Flouride is retained, and not filtered out.

It doesn't specifically say that it filters out fluoride, so I'm not absolutely certain. But, according to this http://smile.amazon.com/Does-filter-remove-fluoride-also/forum/FxDLOHR0OD79SZ/Tx31E4Y9ZVCHH3B/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00006WNMI , it says that "Chloride and fluoride are chemically-similar, and it seems to remove the chloride-compound-taste, so it SHOULD also remove fluoride-compounds." I haven't run any tests or anything, so I can't say for sure. I can say that it produces great tasting water, much better than a PUR or Brita, as far as my experience goes.

Yes, the special resin components in the filter are designed to remove 85% of the fluoride in the water.Customer Support,New Century Innovations (NCI) http://www.amazon.com/shops/nci-nu

It does nothing....carbon will remove impurities if water or air are FORCED through it....this simply floats around & does nothing.

I'm not sure what medium would remove flouride. You need to do more research on that.

Yes, RO removes fluoride... Here is a link to check out:http://www.infobarrel.com/Does_Reverse_Osmosis_Remove_Fluoride_in_your_Drinking_Water

Yes it does. I tried carbon filters, ionizers and many others. I tested this with the local health department, and ALL of the fluoride was removed. This is the ideal unit to remove this toxic chemical.

it will filter out most....unless you have a VERY expensive filter (reverse osmosis),etc... you will not get ALL(100%) of flouride out

It is an activated carbon block filtration media. It doesn't, according to GE, filter any flouride. Depending on your view of flouride that's either very good or not-so-very good.

The standard filters (black ones) do not filter fluoride. They sell an additional filter called a "PF-2" filter that catches fluoride and arsenic. They are additional in that the additional filters attach to the lower part of the standard filter and work together at the same time. The Berkey I bought included the additional filters, but of course, at an additional price. I think they're something like $40.

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.
