Fluoride Removal

 

 

yes   Standard Water Purifiers using Activated Carbon or KDF will not remove dissolved minerals
        such as Fluoride, Calcium, Magnesium, etc

yes   To remove Fluoride...  One of the following options must be installed

 

 

 

Reverse Osmosis

 

Reverse Osmosis provides superior quality water & works on a principal of passing water over a semi-permeable membrane. The water passes through the membrane
while all chemicals and contaminants are washed down the sink.

 

The water produced by these systems is near pure and similar to distilled water in content. The membrane is used in conjunction with both pre-filters and post
Activated Carbon filters.

 

Reverse Osmosis SystemThey are normally installed as an undersink system as the delivery of pure water is very slow.

 

They use a water storage tank to store the purified water ready for use. The storage tank is pressurised to provide water on tap through a separate faucet, the same as a normal Under Bench Filter system.

 

A little extra room is required under the sink for these systems.

 

 

For more information... Please see our Reverse Osmosis page

 

 

 

 

 

Twin Sump Systems

 

Using standard filter housings, we install two Purifier cartridges.

 

The first uses a material called Actival, a Fluoride specific media for the sole purpose of removing the Fluoride. The second housing contains a cartridge with a combination of Granulated Activated Carbon and a material called KDF.

 

This is effective at removing all chemicals and heavy metals from the water supply. Fluoride is removed for around 4000 litres on an 'A' Grade water supply such as that found in Wellington.

 

 

Twin Sump Bench TopPrice:
Bench Top: $ 345.00
Under Bench: $ 435.00 + installation

 

Replacement Cartridges: 
Actival: $ 95.00 ( every 4000 litres )
GAC + KDF: $ 95.00 ( every 18 - 24 months)

Distillation

Water Distiller

 

A Water Distiller will remove all chemicals, metals and minerals from the water supply.

 

They work by boiling the water & collecting the steam which is then condensated back to water, leaving the minerals, metals and chemicals in the boiling chamber.

 


The Main Advantages of our Distillers are:

All Stainless Steel construction for better quality distilled water.

They're small, strong, and durable.

They're comparatively inexpensive to operate... around 60 cents per 4 litres at current electricity prices.

They have an Activated Carbon Filter Layer that removes any residual chemicals and improves the taste.

Each drop of water produced is pure.

Many people use our Distillers and are very happy with their performance.

We can supply a range of Distillers but we recommend the Megahome brand.

We have stocked this Distiller since 1999 and have found the design to be simple and very reliable.

Other options available but NOT recommended by our company are:
( See notes below )

 

 

 

Filterpure AFAC-10 Cartridge

 

Using a standard filter housing, you can use the Filterpure AFAC-10 cartridge.
This is a combination of Granulated Activated Carbon to remove chlorine and organic chemicals and also 'Actival'.

 

This cartridge is capable of removing Fluoride from around 2000 litres.
It is not effective in removing heavy metals or Giardia.

 

Price:

Bench Top: $ 220.00
Under Bench: $ 292.00 + installation
Replacement Cartridge: $ 112.50 ( every 6-12 months )

 

 

 

 

 

Microline PC-2FL

 

This cartridge is an adaptation of the 2HK cartridge which contains Activated Carbon and KDF for the removal of a wide range of chemicals and heavy metals.

 

In addition to the Activated Carbon and KDF for the reduction of chemicals and metals, the cartridge contains 'Actival' for the removal of Fluoride.

 

It is recommended to replace the cartridge every 12 months.

 

Price:

Bench Top: $ 279.00
Under Bench: $ 349.00 + installation
Replacement Cartridge: $ 175.00 ( every 12 months )

 

Note: The Actival is the last part of the cartridge so any leached Actival will pass out of the cartridge.
( Refer to the notes below )

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

Actival , the media used to remove Fluoride from water in some Purifiers, is Aluminium Oxide which has been specially treated to adsorb ( or bond to chemically ) Fluoride molecules. Typical reduction of Fluoride in NZ municipal supplies is greater than 98%.

 

Tests have shown no leaching of aluminium from the cartridges occurs, but if you wish to play safe, either Reverse Osmosis, a Twin Sump System, or a Distiller will ensure no aluminium enters your water supply.

 

The Actival is the LAST STAGE of the Filterpure and Microline cartridges, so any leached or loose media expelled by the cartridge could be consumed.
