It says in the description that the unit removes flouride. Has anyone had a chance to measure the flouride levels in their water after filtering?

The System is tested under the Water Quality Association to remove fluoride at 97.7% and the membrane itself was tested by the manufacturer Dow Filmtec to remove at a range of 90 to 97%

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/

i don't know about flouride. i know chlorine is eliminated. sorry. maybe call amazon at 866-216-1072. i'd call them and then they can look up the specs. may God bless you and have a Happy Holy Holy Christmas.

We have not had it tested but our water is very good and there is a significant difference with the fluoride filters and without. I would suggest the extra price is well worth the cost.

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.

I checked another site since there weren't any specifications here and it does NOT filter out flouride http://www.fridgefilters.com/ge-fqsvf.html

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there's not a filter that removes fluoride. Please let us know if you have any questions. Best regards.

If I remember correctly, the company info indicates that the filter on this unit removes 65% of the fluoride in water that it filters. I think that information is on their web site at this link (http://www.ecoflowater.com/composite-test-results).

They need to make one that removes flouride! That is all that is keeping me from buying this. I like the design of this one better than the "Big B" but since this lacks the flouride filter, I may have to go for the competetor.

The filters on this one do not remove Fluoride, however you can order the fluoride filter and add it on. I got the fluoride filter from cyrstal quest for $50 , added it on and now it removes everything. The system works well. The filters last for 12-18 months depending on use. It is well worth the extra cost for the filter. good luck.

It does not remove flouride but it removes everything else. Nothing wrong with the 4 gallon model

Yes, and you will continue to see this. It's the minerals from your water. You have to clean and descale it regularly, using either vinegar or citric acid. A tablespoon or two of vinegar in your water when it begins to get flaky or when the sides of the unit begin to look frosted. Run the unit through a cycle, drain it, then run at least two more loads of just water through it. Should remove all the scale. I usually do this about once every two months. Also the little filter on the floor of the inside of the unit, the steel mesh one, comes off and should be scrubbed with a toothbrush or something similar to unclog it.

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.

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

Marsha: I removed the water filter and don't use it - the unit works a lot better without it! But then my well water is filtered with an in-house filter in the basement. If your water is in good shape, just remove the filter and forget it!

We have this test meter for our community well. We fluorinate according to the EPA guidelines. It works well when it is calibrated. You have to have the 1% fluoride solution and the tabs to calibrate the meter. We had the meter for about 4 months and the sensor went bad. The company replaced it immediately at no cost but with the wrong part. It took several weeks to replace it with the right part. It was on B/O for some time. Now that we use it daily I can get an idea of the level we need to be at. It's a field test and they are not 100% but close enough for what we need. When our levels were low the meter just gave a Lo code. It am not confident it would give you a zero reading you may be looking for. We have this test meter for our community well.

Omica claims that it does. However, they have consistently failed to produce water testing reports to prove it. The activated alumina is what is supposed to remove the fluoride. Even if it works then- how much is being removed? From what I understand the removal of fluoride by activated alumina is dependent on the waters Ph level. So the most accurate answer that anyone can give you (including the people that make the filter) without actual pre and post filter water testing, is.... it might remove some, none or all of the flouride. Who really knows?-After reading the other answers it seems that it fails to remove all of the fluoride for sure. Just start taking fulvic acid. Omica claims that it does.
