Fluoride Water Filter in Palm Springs

What the report says and does not say

The report's table lists the only contaminants detected in 2025: chlorine and chloramines, HAA5, TTHM, nitrate, nitrite and dichloromethane. Fluoride is not in it, and the treatment description (MIEX, lime softening, chloramine, filtration) does not mention fluoride. Utilities sample some inorganics on multi-year schedules, so a missing row does not tell you the level. Ask the Water Treatment Manager at (561) 584-8200 ext. 8718 for the most recent result.

Florida's 2025 law

The Florida Senate's summary of the 2025 bill (SB 700) says it prohibits the use of any additive in a public water supply that is not for the explicit purpose of improving water quality. It took effect July 1, 2025. Many Florida utilities that once added fluoride stopped as a result. We take no position for or against fluoride; these are the published facts.

Fluoride status varies by utility and changed for many in 2025. If you moved within South Florida, check your new utility's report rather than assuming.

Reducing fluoride at home

• Reverse osmosis: a common method at one tap. See under-sink RO in Palm Springs.
• Carbon filters: standard carbon is generally not designed for fluoride.
• Certification: look for an NSF/ANSI 58 listing that includes fluoride for the exact model.

RO also reduces other dissolved minerals. Living Water's alkaline RO units add minerals back after the membrane for taste; ask what the alkaline stage adds and how often it is replaced.

Whole-home systems

Whole-home city water systems are designed for chlorine and chloramine, not fluoride. If anyone offers whole-home fluoride removal, ask for the certification listing and the capacity at your water use. Most households who want fluoride reduction do it with RO in the kitchen and a chloramine filter for the rest of the house.

Ask for the listing in writing.

Private wells

Natural fluoride in a private well varies. A certified lab can measure it if you want a number; test for bacteria and nitrate first, as the Florida Department of Health recommends.

Keep copies of results.

Next steps

Jorge tests TDS before and after RO so you can see what the membrane changes. Questions about dental health and fluoride belong with your dentist. Call, text or WhatsApp (305) 793-5974.

You keep the results whether or not you buy.
