Fluoride Whole House Water Filter
Fluoride (F-) is a common constituent of many minerals. Municipal water treatment plants commonly add fluoride to the water for prevention of tooth decay, and they try to maintain a level of 1.5 – 2.5 mg/l. Concentrations above 5 mg/l are detrimental to tooth structure. High concentrations are contained in waste water from the manufacture of glass and steel, as well as from foundry operations. Organic fluoride is present in vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Inorganic fluorine, under the name of sodium fluoride, is a waste product of aluminum and is used in some rat poisons. The MCL established for drinking water by the US EPA is 4 mg/l.
Filtration System
This Whole Home Water Purification System is designed to remove fluoride from water at the point of entry in your home. The system is designed to perform at adequate water flow and pressure. You will not see any performance degradation or water pressure drop.
Water travels through 3 stages of filtration:
- First stage, water flows through a 20″ sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extends the life of water softeners and water filters, and prevents damage to control valves or pumps.
- Second stage, water flows through a fluoride reducing mineral tank.
- Third stage water flows through a 20″ solid carbon cartridge for removing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents).*
