does this system remove floride

If you purchase the flouride removal filters for it.I have found our Berkey better for that though.

I have had this filter for many years, in New York City, highly recommend it . Can not answer your question as I am on vacation at the moment, so my fliter box with info is at home. I suggest you get in touch with WWW.Katadyn.ch directly. Erna

No, but the Katadyn Drip Gravidyn (charcoal in the filter) does reduce chemicals, but doesn't last as long. I went with the Ceradyn and then filter thru a Britta charcoal water filter, for added chemical/taste removal.

No, filtration size is 0.02 micrometers. Flouride is at the atomic level, less than the filtration size of the ceramic filter.

Neither the Ceradyn or Gravidyn filter elements available for the TRK remove flouride.

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.

Pretty sure the only way to remove fluoride is through reverse osmosis. The Seychelle filters claim to this...but so far have failed independent testing.

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

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

Yes, and a lot more. Go to www.BerkeyFilters.com for answers to all your questions. We have had our system for years now, have replaced the PF-2 (fluoride & other contaminants) twice now, but the black filters can last a very long time - just need to be cleaned periodically with a 3-M pad. It's the best system on the market, least expensive to purchase and least expensive to operate, and can be used outside (camping, emergency water needs, etc.). Nothing better available; we very highly recommend it.

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.

The store that I attempted to purchased it at send me a drill bit. It is a great water filter. It is not distilled however it removes around 99% of contaminates. It does not remove fluoride. There is an additional attachment that will remove fluoride. It is one of the best but they also charge a lot for it.

dont believe it removes fluoride but for the chloramine which is associated with chlorine it removes up to 91%

No it does not. I purchased this unit and after a few months of great water I got to thinking about fluoride. After I realized that this wonderful unit doesn't remove fluoride I purchased a system that distills water. Now I've got 100% pure drinking water. However, this is a great unit for what it does do.

It does remove fluoride although they don't advertise it as such - it's been independently tested here: http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

No. It absolutely does not remove chlorine or fluoride from your water. In order to do that you need a reverse osmosis water system, or go the cheap route like I have for the last 10 years, and get a water distiller. They cost about a 100.00 dollars. Takes 5-6 hours todistill a gallon and mine has lasted 10 years. They're not exactly convienient, but I make drink and use about 2 gallons a week and Brita filteted tap water besides that. For the record I just threw my 80.00 zen water filter in the dumpster 2 nights ago. In addition to not actually altering the pH in any measurable way, it removed very few particulates when compared with my tapeater. Avoid this manufacturer. The technology is useless. My Brita works way better. Again: only R.O. or a distiller will remove fluoride and chlorine. BTW the reason I finally the it out was because the spigot broke irreparably. I would use it simply to store actual filtered/distilled water in it and it looked cool.

I haven't personally done tests but from my readings of tests done, yes. But if you are looking to remove fluoride going with the berkey filters will be cheaper in the long run because they use separate attachment fluoride filters.

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

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.

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