Fluoride filters

[Armed Mage]

Anyone know of any good water filters that filter out fluoride? I'd prefer a faucet or pitcher filter, and one that's relatively cheap.

If you are on Lafayette Utilities water, they don't add F to it. The naturally occurring level is 0.2ppm

I dare say you do many things during your normal work day that are more risky that drinking water with that level of F.

It was a major contaminant of our raw material. We recovered it and sold it for water treating and other things.

I searched for filters and they cost upwards from $200.

Ok that's good to know. Didn't want to have spend alot of money on a new filter system.

Public utilities are usually happy to let you know the content concentrations of their drinking water and it's usually available on the web. That's how I found it.

You might be able to get some useful help on filters, softeners, and the like from your County (I know, I know) Agent's office.

I do live in a county now but keep referring to it as parish to blank looks from my friends.

Fluoride is not necessarily a bad thing in the right quantities but the margin between the correct amount and too much is too slim. Too slim to be in a public water supply for sure. It should be illegal, but yet it's mandated. Luckily they currently don't have the resources to regulate it and most of the public water suppliers simply refuse to do it.

If people knew more about the risk of fluoride and more specifically the fluoridation of public water supplies there would be more outrage. It's medicating the public without their knowledge or consent. The average person thinks their dentist wants them to have as much as possible so why not put it in the water.
