Description states it removes chlorine and chloramines but doesnt imply filtration is designed to remove anything else. Does it?

Don't remember all my research but I think not as I paired mine with a Berkey shower filter first in line to remove "junk." Whole system works great!

ill check with my husband if he knows, but another issue is that we r not sure that the water is actually going thru the vitamin c casing. ours may be malfunctioning. we've used it about 3 or so weeks.

From my research I learned it does not filter out the majority of fluoride. But int he shower, fluoride does not enter your body because it does not "steam" like chlorine does. If you boil water containing fluoride, the fluoride does not boil out, it justs concentrates in the liquid remaining. Therefore it does not change it's form from a solid to a gas, or in this case, steam. Chorines on the other hand, does. This filter will eliminate the chlorine and other contaminates. Contact your water department to see if they add chlorimines. Chloraminated vapor from showers, baths, hot tubs, dishwashers, and other household appliances contains volatilized chemicals that can be inhaled and cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Chloramine damages mucous membranes. The lung damage in those exposed to chloramine in indoor pool air is similar to that seen in regular smokers. An increase in asthma due to exposure from chloramine in indoor swimming pool areas was shown in a Belgium study from the Catholic University of Louvain so find out if they are putting this dangerous toxic chemical in your water.

yes but I do not recommend it at all...It alleges that you can lower your chlorine and sanitize using this...I see no overall benefit from lowest chlorine levels as it causes other issues with algae...

My previous response was based on taste. I trust that the filtration process will remove the chlorine and other harmful contaminates.

Yes, it filters chlorine plus a lot of other bad things. If you want the floride to be removed, you need to buy additional filters.

New in the box machines come with one filter. It will work without the filter. I keep mine in for more like 6 months at a shot. No problems so far. I suppose the activated charcoal helps remove chlorine from tap water.

No, it does not remove chlorine. You would need to install a whole house inline charcoal filter.

It removes pollutants from regular water. Also it removes chlorine and some fluoride as well (by carbon fiber filter). Please be well informed.

I had no idea until you asked, so I just did an online search for the item and came up with this. It says NO, it removes no fluoride. Wish I'd have known this before I bought it. :( http://www.discountfilterstore.com/fm-25-culligan-water-faucet-filter.html

In the description of the product, it does not state 'This product removes chlorine' so I would say this specific straw is not designed for that. Best wishes on your journey, sir or ma'am!

If that question asks whether it removes Chlorine, since the title of the product on Amazon is "GE FXWTC Household Pre-Filtration CHLORINE and Sediment Filters," (emphasis added) I presume it does.

You mean "does it remove chlorine"? I would say no. The description says it reduces chlorine taste and odor. Not sure how as it's just a paper filter and its main purpose is to remove solids. Chlorine is liquid and would just seep thru along with the water. While it may reduce taste & odor it certainly cannot remove any actual chlorine.

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

No. But it does greatly reduce the need for chlorine from say 3.0 to .5...in my AZ pool.

so i guess the bottom line is you will need another water filter system, such as possibly a reverse osmosis system, to get rid of things like fluoride and chlorine in water.. i agree the description could have been infinitely improved as i'm not sure how shifting electrons in water's molecular structures completely eliminates fluoride and chlorine

The HMF2SdgC will remove Trihalomethanes. It will not remove chloramines. We do have a catalytic carbon & KDF85 filter that will remove chloramines.

Yea it does, the built in filter removes a lot of sediment and chlorine smell and taste.
