Double Countertop Fluoride Water Filter

Model CTD-FL: Double Counter Top Water Filter with Fluoride Removal Pre-filter:

CTD-FL - This twin housing countertop water filter features our KDF/GAC cartridge PLUS the FL fluoride removal filter.

A heavy-duty ball valve-style diverter valve replaces the aerator on your faucet. In the regular position, water exits straight through its own aerator. When filtered water is desired, turn on the cold water and simply rotate the valve knob - water is routed through the filter and out its own swivel spout. Great for apartments, dorms, RV's or travel. Spout, diverter valve, and connectors are lead-free chromed brass - NSF-approved. It can be later converted for under-counter use with part number FK, Faucet Kit , Just add the faucet kit in the above drop-down.

Includes three diverter adapters, housing wrench, and chlorine test strips to verify when it's time to replace cartridge. 12" high, 5" deep, 11" wide. 3 year prorated warranty on KDF/GAC cartridge, 5 year on components. 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Fluoride Water Filters and Filtration - Methods to Remove Fluoride from Drinking Water:

There are plenty of good reasons for installing a fluoride water filter. The fluoride that is added to water also contains other toxic materials and pollutants, which may include lead, mercury, and arsenic. Hundreds of renowned scientists and researchers around the world condemn, or refuse to endorse fluoridation of the water supply. The fluoride water filter is a simple solution to a vexing problem. You may not have any control over what goes into your water, but this simple device can easily take it right back out.

Activated alumina filter media and reverse osmosis systems are the two EPA recommended methods for removing fluoride from drinking water. Some companies claim that carbon filters will remove 100% of fluoride (Removes 40-60%), but this is not correct. Also, don't be fooled by single multi-media cartridge units that contain a small amount of media in addition to carbon - a full cartridge of 100% activated alumina is needed for complete fluoride removal! Activated alumina is aluminum oxide, the same chemical substance as sapphire and rubies, but without the impurities that give the gems their color. (This is not aluminum, which is a more highly-processed metal made from activated alumina.) Activated alumina has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio, with a lot of tunnel-like pores that run all through it. This means that there is a lot of surface area against which the water interacts, thereby removing fluoride (and arsenic). Through the attraction of the metals, 90% to 98% is normally removed. The fluoride coats the surface of the alumina over time.

BUT OUR WATER FILTER SYSTEMS REMOVE FAR MORE THAN JUST FLUORIDE! All our fluoride removal systems use a double cartridge configuration with activated alumina cartridge in the first position and KDF/GAC in the second. While the activated alumina cartridge has been tested and shown not to leach any aluminum, as a precaution we use the KDF/GAC cartridge to remove any aluminum that may get into your water. KDF/GAC also removes chlorine, heavy metals (including lead), chemicals, VOCs, and more. At the same time, our filter system leaves in essential, healthful minerals like calcium and magnesium and it wastes NO water! This will provide you with "better-than-bottled" water for less than 5 cents per gallon!
