BUT WE NEED FLUORIDE IN OUR WATER?
NO,Fluoride (chemical name: Fluorine) is a natural trace element and exists in almost all soils. In elemental form fluorine is a flammable, irritating, and toxic halogen gas that is one of the most powerful oxidizing agents known.
Perhaps the most widely known use of fluoride is its addition to public drinking water supplies at about one milligram per liter (mg/L) of a fluoride salt, measured as fluoride,for the purpose of reducing tooth decay. This is achieved at the municipal treatment plant by injecting or feeding a solution of hydrofluosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, or sodium fluoride into the treated water stream.That fluoride, as well as naturally occurring fluoride from wells and
other water sources, subsequently finds its way into most water-based
beverages and foods.
Children under nine years of age exposed to levels of fluoride greater than about two mg/L may (four mg/L is normal) develop a condition known as mottling or discoloration of the permanent teeth. In certain cases the teeth become chalky white in appearance.
See example photos below:
Our Fluoride Reduction Filters are made in USA and use a special blend of synthetic aluminium oxide that is processed to have minimum of fines and other foreign matter. It removes flouride through a combination of absorption and chemical reaction with the media.
The capacity of the filter is flow and ph sensitive. Under normal conditions* the filter has a capacity of approximately 2000 litres which equates to 11 litres per day for 6 months. Filters should be changed every 6 months as a minimum.
*Flow rate of 3 litres per minute. Fluoride concentration of 0.6-0.7ppm as quoted by Queensland Government - pH level of 5.5-6.0.
These filter are easy to install with a simple push-fit connection and can be easily added on to any existing undersink or external fridge filter set up.
