Do these filters remove fluoride? If not, are there any filters available for the Pitcher that are capable of doing so?

The description on the page says: "This CLEAR2O pitcher filter features block carbon media and is NSF certified to reduce 53 contaminants, including cysts, asbestos, mercury and lead." I think you'd have to go to their webpage and perhaps ask the question of their staff.

No, this is purely to raise the pH of the water to alkaline levels. There are other Fluorideremoval filters and these are either whole house or under Counter models.

But just to be clear. This machine doesn't remove flouride. My whole house filtration system does though.....and I seriously encourage everyone to get the fluoride out...!

I don't think so, but there are some systems on the market that do. Google it. More to the point, have you done any real research on the fluoridated drinking water controversy? I suggest you take an hour or three and do that, then just go with the Everpure system. It's really excellent.

No it does not remove fluoride, you can purchase the B2 fluoride filters as an add-on they screw onto the bottom of the candles. You can also get this system with a candle that does filter fluoride and a wider range of contaminants than these ones do it is the Aquacera CeraMetix filters. Here is a link to it Aquacera LP5 Gravity Water Filter With 2 CeraMetix Fluoride Plus Filters

Sorry, I do not know about that system you have mentioned. Call the manufacturer for those indications. BTW: This one does NOT filter out Fluoride!.Also DO NOT TWIST TO TIGHTEN THE BLACK BODY OF THIS FILTER! It will separate the glue and you will lose your filter! I made my own filter system like you see on youtube Get any size stainless steel soup pots (2). Mine are 3gallons each. I used two of these filters , which actually filter very well, and installed them in the bottom of the top pot, drilled another hole in the bottom pot for the spout, (Which you buy here, or that bay place), and there you are! Good luck, but get out the fluoride! Sorry, I do not know about that system you have mentioned. Call the manufacturer for those indications.

One cartridge is made specifically for Fluoride Removal....which is specific, as normally, only RO system handle Fluoride. I am sorry you are not thrilled with my answer, but please understand I only understood that you wanted to know what the difference was in the filters, and this is a 2 cartridge systems which can be eventually mixed and matched as desired, and with a variety of filters for different needs. Thank you, jacques

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.

No, it does not. I literally just asked a service expert at Aquasana if it filters out fluoride and his response was, "Sorry, no."

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.

When looking into the Doulton site, this is what I found:Fluoride: Most Doulton filters will not remove fluoride. However, optional fluoride filters can be added to those filters. They screw onto the stems of the ceramic filters, and when installed will be hanging below the top chamber. Add on fluoride filters are not needed when the system is used with the CeraMetix all in one ceramic and fluoride filter.

There are many filters on the market that remove chlorine and other particulates, but the Omica Shower Filter that I purchased is one of the few that claims to remove fluoride, too. That is why I bought it, but I have not had it tested. If I find that it does not remove fluoride, I will not purchase another.

It does remove fluoride when the filter is fresh, but the longer you use the filter, the more metals will pass through. The water where I live is so bad, I only got two weeks from a filter. That costs too much for me, so we now rent a reverse osmosis system.

No, the Multipure system does not address fluoride. No carbon block filter will remove fluoride, so we would recommend reverse osmosis.

someone had asked about this pitcher, or another Pur item, as to what impurities it removed. I found a water filter comparison at the following link. Hope it helps.http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.com/water_filter_comparison.php

From what I am reading, most water filters do not. You need a special filter called an Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter. These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are relatively expensive (lowest price I saw was $30/filter) and require frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.

The ceramic filters are the only other types of filters that are used for removing fluoride, next to a reverse osmosis system, so, the answer here would be yes. Thank you, - jacques
