The Great Debate
Can you remove Fluoride from your drinking water?
Fluoride has been added to water for many years in the form of hexafluorosilicic acid (an industrial waste product).
The rational for adding the chemical Fluoride to the water system has been claimed but never been really proven protection against dental caries.
Many countries have abandoned mass medication of their water system. For those customers who want fluoride removed Southern Cross Pottery have designed a water purifier for you that will remove fluoride from the water.
To remove this chemical there are a three ways to go about it. The best technologies are reve
rse osmosis and distillation, both remove fluoride very well. However, both are expensive. The third way is a simple filter with a cartridge containing activated alumina (not aluminium).
This third option is what we offer you in our Fluoride water filters. Unlike reverse osmosis and distillation our filtration system does not remove healthful minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, and does not leave the water tasting “flat”.
There are two filters in our Fluoride removal system. The first filter is a ceramic and carbon filter which removes virtually all contaminants with the exception of fluoride. Water then flows through the fluoride removal filter.
A Fluoride water filter does not improve the taste or remove other chemical contaminants, cysts and bacteria from the water. However, by adding the carbon filter an excellent broad range water filter is obtained at a very affordable price.
The Water Filter Company is proud to sell the Southern Cross Range of Ceramic Pottery fluoride water filters.
