Is this confirmed to remove fluoride from tap water? If so, does one have to stop the boiling process at a lower temperature to make sure? Thanks.

There are many articles confirming that distillation is one of the best ways - besides reverse osmosis - to remove fluoride (e.g. Google for "fluoride removal by distillation). The boiling process will run for a certain amount of time. When it stops and the temperature goes down, water stops evaporating and thus the remainder cannot contaminate the cleaned portion.

I believe the boiling removes impurities, like chlorine etc. If it were to stop before it gets to the boiling point a lot of these impurities would remain.

A TDS meter is NOT "the only way to really know how good of a job it is doing" from the Zero Water FAQ they explain that Zero Water does not remove Fluoride, Bacteria, Arsenic, Phenol, Cryptosporidium. The TDS for the most part measures electrolytes (salt, minerals, etc). By the way, if you remove all those minerals they just get sapped from your body via osmosis. Google "drinking distilled water"

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.

3M Lab Results shows 0.36 ppm of FLUORIDE remaining in the water filtered through PF-2 "fluoride" filters.Being that fluoride is a HIGHLY toxin poison ANY fluoride is too much for me to ingest, so no they are NOT effective."The fluoride concentration result for the sample you submitted is listed above. This result was obtained using state-of-the-art equipment for accuracy. The method of testing is the fluoride ion selective electrode." (3M)

fluoride and chlorine can only be removed by adding adya clarity black mica extract to the water, if you buy from us you will get a free 16oz bottle of adya clarity which will deactivate fluoride, chlorine and more contaminates , there is nothing wrong with the 4 gallon listing, amazon has just put a note there saying they are not selling this item but other sellers on the page such as we do sell it.

This machine does not remove Fluoride out of water. Fluoride from the water can be 65-95% removed using Reverse Osmosis systems. We carry most advanced reverse osmosis system Aquaphor DWM101 which removes 99.9% of all contaminants from tap water, including Fluoride. http://www.intelgadgets.com/aquaphor-dwm-101-compact-ro-reverse-osmosis-water-filter-system/

Absolutely not! If you are using this product to add to spring water, or tap water that you have determined has NOT had any additional flouride added (there is a trace amount of flouride in most community water sources) and has been boiled for five minutes, then cooled - add the drops you require to the cooled tap water and you are good to "go." (I have brewed water kefir grains for many months using this method, and the grains are healthy and have multiplied well.)

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

I researched this also, It does not technically state that it removes fluoride. But it does remove everything like it, so they (the manufacturer) cannot state that it removes fluoride but I have noticed it does, and the manufacturer's website says that it removes certain compounds, most are the same as fluoride.

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

According to the literature with the filter, it does remove fluoride. I have not had any tests run to counter the claim

I'm not sure, but when I do boil my water thru it is much cleaner. Then I can see all the fluoride left behind. Even if it does not remove it completely it is much better than before. The Megahome does a pretty good job. I would recommend it.

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.

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.

That's a great question. I don't know if Culligan indicates if it filters out fluoride. But my personal experience using the filter would indicate that it does. Fluoride is added to my water by the water company and I can taste it when I am not using the filter. However, I am not able to taste it when I run my water through the filter. I am pleased with the filter. We have a lot of heavy metals in the water out here and I find that both my guests and I are happy with the taste of the water when it has been run through the filter. I used to have to buy drinking water at Walmart, not now.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.
