Fluoride and Heavy Metal Reduction

Advanced Protection for Your Health, Rooted in Proven Science 

Our Fluoride & Heavy Metals Reduction Compound is specially engineered to significantly reduce fluoride levels in tap water – particularly the type added by municipal treatment systems, bringing them down to safe, often undetectable levels. Using a powerful combination of Activated Alumina and Bone Char, this compound targets one of the most difficult contaminants to remove from drinking water. 

Scientific research has consistently shown that activated alumina offers a highly efficient fluoride uptake, requiring minimal contact time for optimal defluorination. Its use in continuous-flow fluidized systems has proven to be one of the most cost-effective and reliable solutions in modern water treatment. Bone Char, one of the oldest known methods for fluoride removal, adds another layer of efficacy due to its strong affinity for fluoride ions. Together, these two materials represent the best available technology for reducing fluoride in drinking water. 

Avoid Fluoridated water

But fluoride removal isn’t simple. Unlike many contaminants, its reduction is affected by several variables: pH level, water temperature, hardness, flow rate, fluoride concentration, and the presence of substances like silica and boron all impact how effectively it can be removed. That’s why our compound is formulated to perform under a wide range of conditions – delivering a reduction of fluoride by at least 70%, and up to 95% depending on your water’s chemistry. 

We designed this system with the latest research in mind, especially the EPA’s conflicting fluoride guidelines: a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 4 mg/L, and a non-enforceable ‘recommended’ limit of 2 mg/L, which leaves much of the decision- making to local governments. For the 70% of Americans who receive fluorinated water, home filtration becomes a vital step in safeguarding long-term wellness. 

Protecting Against More Than Fluoride 

In addition to fluoride, this advanced compound also reduces a range of inorganic heavy metals that can be harmful to your health, including: 

  • Antimony (Sb)
  • Arsenic (As)
  • Bismuth (Bi)
  • Chromium, Hexavalent (Cr6)
  • Cobalt (Co)
  • Lead (Pb)
  • Mercury (Hg)
  • Silver (Ag)
  • Zirconium (Zr)Lead

The Issue with Municipal Fluoride

Fluoride is found in dental products, used at your dentist’s office - and for most, it’s present in your drinking water. While natural calcium fluoride can be found in groundwater, the synthetic fluoride used in municipal systems is a different story. Overexposure has been linked to serious health concerns such as:  


  • Dental Fluorosis (staining and weakening of teeth) 
  • Arthritis 
  • Thyroid suppression 
  • Cognitive issues (including lowered IQ) 
  • Neurological concerns such as dementia 
  • Weakened immune function 
  • Genetic damage and certain cancers 
  • Reduced life expectancy 

Avoiding fluoridated water entirely is ideal but for most, that’s not a realistic option. That’s why using an advanced filtration system in the home is the most practical and effective way to protect yourself and your family. 

The Fluoride & Heavy Metals Reduction Compound is included in all filters marked with an ‘F’ in the model number. For example, our CA-100F is a convenient carafe-style pitcher that includes this specialized protection.
