(Scroll down to see our complete line of fluoride and contaminant removal water filters)
Fluoride in drinking water was originally added in the 1940's to prevent tooth decay. Studies have now shown that fluoride causes dental fluorosis in 10% of the population. Even more disturbing than the cosmetic impact that fluoride can have on teeth, research is also linking fluoride to increased risk of cancer (particularly bone cancer) gene mutations reproductive problems neurotoxicity (hyper or depressed activity) bone fluorosis (decreasing density). In fact, in 1999, the EPA's Headquarters Union of Scientists took a stand opposing fluoridation of drinking water supplies. Read more here. The fluoride used for water fluoridation does not have FDA approval and is considered by the FDA as an "unapproved drug". The proper use of any drug requires an understanding of how much is too much. Since fluoride is already in many foods and beverages, an estimated total intake of existing fluoride amounts is imperative. Research shows fluoridation is unnecessary since we're already receiving 300% or more of the American Dental Association's recommended daily amount.
"I would advise against fluoridation.. Side-effects cannot be excluded .. In Sweden, the emphasis nowadays is to keep the environment as clean as possible with regard to pharmacologically active and, thus, potentially toxic substances." - Dr. Arvid Carlsson, co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000). Read more here.
"The American Medical Association is NOT prepared to state that no harm will be done to any person by water fluoridation. The AMA has not carried out any research work, either long-term or short-term, regarding the possibility of any side effects." - Dr. Flanagan, Assistant Director of Environmental Health, American Medical Association.

NEWS FLASH: Clean Water Laws Are Neglected, at a Cost in Suffering (New York Times, 9/12/2008)
Fortunately, there is a simple solution.
Fluoride Water Filters and Filtration - Methods to Remove Fluoride from Drinking Water:
There are plenty of good reasons for installing a fluoride water filter. The fluoride that is added to water also contains other toxic materials and pollutants, which may include lead, mercury, and arsenic. Hundreds of renowned scientists and researchers around the world condemn, or refuse to endorse fluoridation of the water supply. The fluoride water filter is a simple solution to a vexing problem. You may not have any control over what goes into your water, but this simple device can easily take it right back out.
Activated alumina filter media and reverse osmosis systems are the two EPA recommended methods for removing fluoride from drinking water. Some companies claim that carbon filters will remove fluoride, but this is not correct. Also, don't be fooled by single multi-media cartridge units that contain a small amount of media in addition to carbon - a full cartridge of 100% activated alumina is needed to allow proper contact time for effective fluoride removal! Activated alumina is aluminum oxide, the same chemical substance as sapphire and rubies, but without the impurities that give the gems their color. (This is not aluminum, which is a more highly-processed metal made from activated alumina.) Activated alumina has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio, with a lot of tunnel-like pores that run all through it. This means that there is a lot of surface area against which the water interacts, thereby removing fluoride (and arsenic). Through the attraction of the metals, 90% to 98% of fluoride (and arsenic) is normally removed. The fluoride coats the surface of the alumina over time and eventually the cartridge needs to be replaced (usually once a year for a family of four).
BUT OUR WATER FILTER SYSTEMS REMOVE FAR MORE THAN JUST FLUORIDE FROM YOUR TAP WATER! All our fluoride water filter systems use a double cartridge configuration with activated alumina cartridge in the first position for fluoride removal and KDF/GAC cartridge in the second for chlorine, metals, chemicals and more. While the activated alumina cartridge has been tested and shown not to leach any aluminum, as a precaution we use the KDF/GAC cartridge to remove any aluminum that may get into your water. KDF/GAC also removes chlorine, heavy metals (including lead), chemicals, VOCs, and more. At the same time, our filter system leaves in essential, healthful minerals like calcium and magnesium and it wastes NO water! This will provide you will "better-than-bottled" water for less than 5 cents per gallon!
Already have a countertop or under counter filter system or water ionizer but it's just lacking fluoride removal? You can simply add one of our inline configurations!

FL
FLUORIDE WATER FILTER
CARTRIDGE - Contains
fine-mesh pre-conditioned Activated Alumina to reduce fluoride 95%+ on most city
water (typically <2 ppm).
Lab tests show a capacity of 11,000 ppm with effluent levels below 0.2 ppm from 10 ppm
feed (98%). Note: high pH and high bicarbonate levels reduce the capacity - above 100
ppm bicarbonate, reduce by 50%; above 200 ppm, reduce by 75%. Also effectively
removes low levels of arsenic. Typical life for a family of four with typical
city water is one year. Fits industry-standard 10" slim-line housings. Not
recommended by itself - it is best installed with a KDF/GAC cartridge following
it (see above paragraph).
Suggested Retail - $69.00,

CTD-FL - This twin housing countertop fluoride water filter features our KDF/GAC cartridge (typical life - 2 to 3 years) PLUS the FL fluoride removal filter (typical life - 1 year). A heavy-duty ball valve-style diverter valve replaces the aerator on your faucet. In the regular position, water exits straight through its own aerator. When filtered water is desired, turn on the cold water and simply rotate the valve knob - water is routed through the filter and out its own swivel spout. Great for apartments, dorms, RV's or travel. Spout, diverter valve, and connectors are lead-free chromed brass - NSF-approved. It can be later converted for under-counter use with part number FK, Faucet Kit ($49.00) - see bottom of this page. Includes three diverter adapters, housing wrench, and chlorine test strips to verify when it's time to replace cartridge. 12" high, 5" deep, 11" wide. 3 year prorated warranty on KDF/GAC cartridge, 5 year on components. 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

How our water filters work: what's "KDF ®" and "GAC"?
Water filter technology comparison
All of our under counter water filters are placed out of the way, under the sink. They connect to the cold water
line
with an
"EZ faucet connector" (not a
leak-prone saddle valve like many competitors) and dispense water through an attractive long reach LEAD-FREE* solid brass
premium faucet (not a cheap plastic flip-lever like most of our competitors).
Quick-connect fittings make for fast, easy installation. A 1/2" hole is all that
is needed for the faucet stud (all series), but a cover plate is included to
accommodate larger pre-drilled holes (such as a vegetable sprayer hole).
ALL of our under counter filters include a PREMIUM SERIES
chrome upscale faucet
at NO EXTRA CHARGE! This elegant lead-free* solid brass faucet features a smooth
quarter turn handle with a ceramic seat for a lifetime of service - no flimsy
plastic flip-handle like most competitors! There is no
spring, so the handle stays in the position you place it, like a regular faucet. In addition to the
ALL CHROME color scheme (pictured at left), it is available for only $10 more in CHROME WITH BRASS
ACCENTS,
BRUSHED NICKEL (stainless steel look), WHITE, ALMOND/BISQUE, BLACK, ANTIQUE
BRONZE and
POLISHED BRASS. Click
HERE for picture. It is
recommended that you choose the faucet to match the color scheme of your main faucet. Select color choice
on order screen. It is 8.75" tall and has a swivel spout with a reach of 5.5".
* - Complies with NSF-61 and California Prop.

Steps to Reduce Fluoride Exposure
Don't take fluoride supplements.
Read labels on bottled beverages.
Unless they are made using distilled or reverse-osmosis water, they are
probably made with fluoridated public water.
Consider using non-fluoride toothpaste.
Avoid drinking black or red tea.
They come from two different types of plants, but both leaves naturally
contain high amounts of fluoride.
Be wary of tinned fish and canned food
items.
Fluoride may be used as a preservative.
Avoid using chewing tobacco.
Avoid long term use of
medication that contains fluorine or fluoride.
Certain antidepressants and medications for osteoporosis contain fluorine.
