Fluoride has been in the news recently. We have wanted to test the AlkaWay water alkaliser for fluoride for some time.We actually have a report on a previous model done in the US that showed complete removal of fluoride from the alkaline water outlet. However, to be safe, and considering that we use a different form of fluoride in Australian water, we couldn't really rely on it.
We got our chance last week with a report from our local water lab. on some water I collected from an Alphion in Nerang, on the Gold Coast, Australia's newest fluoride victims.
I collected the fluoride in two separate bottles; one with tap water and one from the Alphion. I am not completely happy with the results as gases like fluoride and chlorine can tend to 'degass' if not immediately tested. So the results may be affected by the fact that several days in a bottle passed between collection and test.
Anyway, the tap water I collected had .7 mg/L and the Alphion sample had only .4mg/L. So linking this with one of our AA fluoride prefilters makes a pretty efficient 'tandem' defence.
