It's not just local people getting caught up in the fluoride debate. Here's a report from the UK where one local council wants to UP the amount of fluoride in their water!While on the subject, we've been adding more useful information to our new site all about fluoride here. I think you'll find it interesting.
Questions are coming in from clients tempted to buy cheap reverse osmosis systems. We have also had reports in from people who made the big mistake of buying these 'Chinese cheapies'. The problem is that the only way to test whether a system is actually taking out Fluoride is an expensive laboratory test, but we are seeing people being seriously duped by sellers of these units. From what they've told us, we can see the darn things aren't even removing ordinary minerals!
It's easy to cheat in selling an RO. By using cheap pre filters, you can reduce the cost of the whole system. Unfortunately the main purpose of good prefilters is to extend the life of the sensitive and fragile membrane in the heart of the system that actually does the fine filtration. It's also the most expensive part, so you'll be up for big money in keeping your RO going because your cheapie prefilters haven't protected the membrane.
So be careful. You gets what you pays for. And if you wnat to take a look at a really good system, go here.
