Re: Fluoride in the water?

[Guest guest]

I would be concerned about bathing in the water. WE use an indiv filter on our

shower head and just fill the tub that way. You can get them as low as $20 from

homedepot.

Subject: [ ] Fluoride in the water?

We are building a new home and moving in the next 2 months or so, and I recently

found out the town we are moving to fluoridates their water supply. Of course,

(as we do now, though our current water is not fluoridated) we will use a filter

for drinking water. My concern is this: should I be very concerned about my son

bathing in this water? Do I need to have a whole house filter installed? Any

input appreciated.

The best system is reverse osmosis. Showerhead and other filters only do

chlorine, not fluoride.

There have been reports of inline filters for fluoride, but with poor

ratings. Most will state one cannot use a filter.

mercola.com claims to have a fluoride filter, I have no idea if its good or

works.

I would be concerned, definitely. Fluoride is highly toxic.

I just have an RO system in the kitchen for drinking/cooking. I had a kdf

filter in the bathroom, but they don't last long.

Whole house systems seem very overwhelming.

Any good reverse osmosis system will remove these.

Hi , this system is recommended on Dana's View. I looked into it a while

back. The owner/engineer of this company is extremely knowledgeable on the

subject and has designed a unique system which is used around the world.

It's expensive but is what I would buy if I could afford it! At the time, it

was one of the few one unit systems that removed fluoride as well as

everything else.

The one I just ordered can be obtained with a free filter (as a bonus) that

filters both fluoride and arsenic. The main 2 filters do most other things. I

got it for 228.00 on ebay, new. It's just for drinking water, but they also

sell shower filters, etc.

It's called Big Berkey:

Jess- this type of filter generally does not remove flouride. Flouride passes

through most carbon type filters.

Unfortunately, we haven't invested in one that removes fluoride. I haven't been

able to convince my husband not to use fluoride toothpaste (he has good teeth, I

have terrible teeth, so that doesn't help my argument). We have a GE whole

house and water for drinking and cooking also goes through a Pur pitcher filter.

What kind of water/filtering system do you use LInda. Sorry if you posted it and

I missed it.
