Does this product remove fluoride?

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

Is effective in removing fluoride. No too sure about salt as my water supply has no traces of salt before. Is easy for both workings for me.

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

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.

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

You absolutely need to do more research on that -- and I would start by asking Pelican. They do make a filtration system for fluoride removal, but that's a pricier whole-house system. The only other method that I know of for fluoride removal is reverse osmosis, which isn't impossible but looks like a much more sophisticated process than regular filtration.

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.

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."

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

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/

Zero water is NOT certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound and the filter DOES remove it. You can see that the TDS meter reads zero after your water is filtered indicating all inorganic compounds have been removed. It DOES remove the fluoride! Hope this helps!

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes 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.

Hi Jessica, This Filter does NOT get rid of Fluoride, although it eliminates some, I was also concerned Jessica, but being the internet guru I think I am, could find no simple answer...Also, if you get the Sodastream, thinking that you can bubble the water, at the same time, you take the PH out of the water.Can't win, but I do feel Energized, more Oomph, and Heath-yer.

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.

According to the manufacturer it eliminates 93.9% of the fluoride. Here is link that shows what contaminants are removed by the reverse osmosis process. http://www.theperfectwater.com/What-contaminants-can-reverse-osmosis-remove.html PS. I am also a delighted owner, the water tastes great! Highly recommend.

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