How to Remove Fluoride from Drinking Water
Ways to Remove Fluoride from Water
* Reverse Osmosis Filtration
This is used to purify several types of bottled water (not all), so some
bottled waters are unfluoridated. Reverse osmosis systems are generally
unaffordable for personal use.
* Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter
These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are
relatively expensive (lowest price I saw was $30/filter) and require
frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.
* Distillation Filtration
There are commercially available distillation filters that can be
purchased to remove fluoride from water. On a related note: When looking
at bottled water, keep in mind that 'distilled water' does not imply
that a product is suitable for drinking water and other undesirable
impurities may be present.
These Do NOT Remove Fluoride
* Brita, Pur, and most other filters.
Some websites about fluoride removal state otherwise, but I checked the
product descriptions on the companies' websites to confirm that fluoride
is left in the water.
* Boiling Water
This will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it.
* Freezing Water

There are three types of filtration media that will remove fluoride from
water: bone char (a form of carbon), alumina (aluminum oxide) and a
fluoride ion exchange resin.
Since my Jupiter filter uses carbon, I would assume it removes it.
