Why The Tap Water Filter Can’t Remove All Fluoride

At Tappwater, we&#x2019;re not just selling water filters; we&#x2019;re giving you cleaner, safer water. Our Tap Water Filter uses 5-stage Advanced Nanofiltration technology to remove harmful substances like PFAS, microplastics, and chlorine. But there&#x2019;s one thing it can&#x2019;t do&#x2014;remove all the fluoride. Here&#x2019;s why.<h4 data-end="578" data-start="515" id="how-activated-carbon-works-imagine-a-sponge-for-chemicals">How Activated Carbon Works: Imagine a Sponge for Chemicals</h4>Activated carbon is the heart of our filtration system. Think of it like a sponge, but instead of soaking up water, it soaks up contaminants. As water flows through, the carbon grabs onto things like chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, and microplastics, removing them from the water. The carbon works well because these contaminants are big enough to stick to the carbon&#x2019;s surface.<h4 data-end="1015" data-start="978" id="so-why-cant-it-catch-fluoride">So, Why Can&#x2019;t It Catch Fluoride?</h4>Now, here&#x2019;s the trick: fluoride is different. It&#x2019;s a tiny molecule, and it&#x2019;s very soluble in water. Imagine trying to catch a grain of sand in a net that&#x2019;s meant to catch marbles. The grain of sand just slips through. That&#x2019;s what happens with fluoride&#x2014;it&#x2019;s simply too small to be caught by the carbon in our filter.Our filter reduces fluoride by up to 70%, but it can&#x2019;t catch every last molecule. For full fluoride removal, you&#x2019;ll need a more specialized system, like reverse osmosis, which is designed specifically to target these tiny particles.<h4 data-end="1624" data-start="1580" id="proven-performance-we-dont-just-guess">Proven Performance: We Don&#x2019;t Just Guess</h4>We don&#x2019;t just talk the talk. Our Tappwater filter has been <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0514/4884/0387/files/EcoPro_and_EcoPro_Compact_Lab_Results___Certifications_-_ENG_ES_IT_DE_FR_Short_Version_16Feb2024_2.pdf?v=1718333427" rel="noopener" target="_blank">tested in independent labs</a>, and the results speak for themselves. The filter reduces fluoride by up to 70%, and it&#x2019;s incredibly effective at removing PFAS, microplastics, chlorine, and other chemicals that are harmful to your health.<h4 data-end="1956" data-start="1936" id="the-bottom-line">The Bottom Line</h4>Tappwater gives you clean, safe water without the hassle. While it can&#x2019;t completely remove fluoride, it does remove PFAS, microplastics, heavy metals, and a wide range of other contaminants. For full fluoride removal, you may want to consider pairing our filter with a system like reverse osmosis. But for most people, Tappwater offers a high-performance, easy solution for cleaner, safer water.
