Compact Whole House Water Filter, Fluoride Removal (2-4 GPM | 1-2 people)

Overview

A small-footprint whole-house system built around a fluoride-reduction cartridge, rated by the manufacturer at 2-4 GPM for one to two people.

The cartridge uses activated-charcoal fluoride media that Crystal Quest says has a high affinity for fluoride. Because no change interval is published, plan replacement from your test results and daily use.

Installation requirements

Maintenance and replacement

Specifications and reduction targets are the manufacturer's. Results vary with your water, so test it before and after installation.
