Hi everyone,

There is a new water filter that advertises it cleans out the solids from tapwater so that it does read "0" on a water purity tester. I already have one of those testers that come with this water filter.

I wrote the company asking if it filters out fluoride, because I thought only reverse osmosis would do this. He said yes, it removes fluorides, and listed all the other junk it gets out.

My question is: if we actually have less than one ppm of fluoride in our tap water here in the first place, it could still remain in the water and still read out as 0 solids, correct?

And since it is such a low number anyway, do I really have to worry about it? This seems much more environment friendly, to clean up the tap water versus buying plastic water bottles (which read 4-36 ppm of unknown solids in them) or paying out the ying-yang for a water delivery service.

I cannot afford a R/O system for the house and that Zero water thing sounds good. But Brita must read zero solids also if we have less than 1 ppm of fluoride in our tapwater as it is, and Brita is known to NOT filter out fluoride.

Thanks for any opinions!
