The Water Exchange announced the release of an informative video detailing three methods used to remove fluoride from drinking water published on YouTube. The 5 minute video may be viewed at http://thewaterexchange.net, or directly on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6OdLXLk3-M.

Methods for removing fluoride include activated alumina, also known at aluminum oxide, bone char carbon, a special super-heated carbon that removes fluoride, and reverse osmosis. Both activated alumina and reverse osmosis remove 80 to 90 percent of fluoride found in most municipal water systems. Activated alumina is the preferred method over reverse osmosis since RO filtration wastes water. Carbon made from animal bones--known as bone char, is the least efficient way to reduce fluoride since it only removes about 60 percent.
