Does anyone know of a water filter that removes fluoride from the water? It can be either the kind that attaches to the faucet or that sits on the counter (such as Berkey). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi S Lee. I haven't tested these personally, but here's what I found on the Internet:

Top 4 Water Filters that Remove Fluoride

Crystal Quest Fluoride Removal Filters
AMT Creations Inc. offers several models of Crystal Quest fluoride removal filters, including refrigerator and undersink types. Look to spend at least $100 on this type of filter.

Filterco Fluoride Removal System
This is a countertop filter model, priced $30-$40 at this writing. Each filter is good for 1,375 gal. @ 4 ppm fluoride.


Pure Water Products, LLC
This vendor sells many different types of filters over a wide price range. Pure Water Products offers an extensive online catalog as well as an online water magazine.

Ion Farm Filters
Nature'sAlternatives.com offers several options for fluoride removal. The basic filter removes 20-25% of fluoride. Prefilters can be used to remove up to 97% of fluoride from the water.

A PF4 post-filter fits onto the Berkey to remove fluoride.

Thank you, Steve and Truenorth; I appreciate your suggestions. We did end up getting a Berkey Light with the additional PF4 filter to remove the fluoride. We are thrilled with it! The water is the best we've ever tasted (including bottled) and we're happy to not be drinking all the garbage (literally) that is part and parcel of water here in Iowa. We recommend it to everyone. Thanks again.
