Do Brita Filters Remove Fluoride?

No, Brita filters do not remove fluoride. Brita’s standard filters are designed to reduce common contaminants such as chlorine, lead, mercury, and copper, but they are not effective at removing fluoride from drinking water. Fluoride is a challenging contaminant to remove, and it typically requires more specialized filtration methods like reverse osmosis, activated alumina filters, or specific fluoride-removing filters like those found in some advanced filtration systems (e.g., Aquagear, ZeroWater, or Berkey with PF-2 filters).

If fluoride removal is a priority for you, you’ll need to consider these more advanced filtration systems or dedicated fluoride filters.
