Filtered Drinking Water Treatment

Many filtration systems claim to eliminate fluoride in your water, but consumers should be wary. It is advisable to check that you are using a filtration system that has been certified by the Water Quality Association of NSF international as one capable of removing fluoride additives. The use of a reverse osmosis filtration system is recommended as the most efficient and effective method for filtering fluoride from your drinking water.

The most common fluoride treatment method is using a filtered drinking water solution like reverse osmosis. Fluoride can be eliminated with a whole-house removal system through absorptive media, and, when practical, ion exchange with anion resin.
