Does it filter out fluoride? One custmoer review said no more fluoride, but I didn't see it mentioned in the description anywhere.

Here is the answer from Zerowater's FAQ: "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."

Are you sure you want to remove fluoride? A friend of mine in the 1980s was a dentist. He had financial problems because the fluoridation of water reduced their cavities.

See Conic Ellipse's answer for the official word from the company. A chemist (masters degree in organic chemistry) did a study and found (via UV methods) that the Zerowater filter is effective in removing fluoride. See his results here: http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

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

No, it does not but it removes chlorine, the chemical they also put in swimming pools. To remove fluoride, one needs a reverse osmosis water system which uses lots and lots of water (forgot ratio but something like 4 quarts to get 1 quart fluoride clear water). Fluoride has few proven benefits (contrary to what they want us to believe) and actually may contribute to thinning bones, etc. so it's a shame it's so hard to get rid of. Hope this helps.

It will filter fluoride as is... Great unit... I have really enjoyed mine...

The way to reduce the fluoride in your water is to add a Reverse Osmosis System, the whole house filters will not remove the fluoride.

If you scroll down the product page it mentions what it removes and leaves in. I didn't see Fluoride mentioned. Sorry.

No, it doesn't but I take Iodine (provides great health benefits including prevention of excess fat), which is in my multi-vitamin, it removes fluoride from the body. This is the best way to get rid of fluoride, as all or most tooth paste is laced with fluoride that gets ingested directly through the pores in mouth and it gets into your blood stream within 30 seconds of contact. Why bother filtering fluoride if you brush your teeth three times a day? Take your Iodine in your daily multivitamin or Iodized salt works perfectly.

To my knowledge, it doesn't. I've yet to find any shower filter that removes fluoride from the shower. A few may claim to but I've sent most of them off for testing and they all fail the fluoride tests.

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

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.

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.

If you buy the extra fluoride filter - at extra cost. Get on the Berkey web site and see the details. http://www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com

No, it does not! The company is purposefully vague about answering this. I use Berkey and ProPur to remove fluoride. I have since thrown out my ZeroWater.

"Does BRITA reduce / remove fluoride ?The BRITA Water Filter System does not remove fluoride from tap water. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion and does not react with the components of the BRITA Filter Cartridge."--from:http://www.brita.com.au/customerservice/faqs-jugs_and_cask

The fluoride add ons remove 68% or so on the first pass. If you run it through multiple times it removes 99.9%. Very difficult to get rid of the crap they add to our water. Supposedly for our health.

The Performance Data Sheet doesn't list fluoride. I found this sheet on the Aquasana website. I think there is a customer contact on their website too. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

Don't know for sure but it gets rid of chlorine and chemicals etc. and purifies the water so would think the fluoride would be eliminated also. We don't need it in our water anyway.
