Best Fluoride Water Filter | 4 Options for a Purified Fluoride-Free Water

We know! The fluoride dilemma can get pretty controversial. 

Some love and swear by it, some hate it!

Fluoride is added to water in most parts of Australia as it is believed to have a positive effect on bone and dental health. The fluoridation process started in the 1960s and 1970s and it is now estimated that around 70% of the Australian population has access to fluoridated water via their kitchen tap. 

But not everyone is happy! 

In fact, a lot of people are looking for fluoride-free options. The easiest way to get fluoride-free water in large quantities is to remove it from your tap water by purifying it with a fluoride filter. 

A good side effect of water purification is that it will get rid of many other elements that can cause concern such as chlorine, heavy metals and bacteria. Reviews often describe filtered water as ‘tasting’ better and ‘pure’! 

So, what is the best fluoride water filter on the market? 

We have four options to choose from depending on your budget, size of your family and your needs. Most importantly, all filters below are designed to remove fluoride and other ‘impurities’ from tap water.

Please note: some products have longer ‘than usual’ delivery times and/or are often out of stock as production capacity can be limited.

Best Overall — Ceramic Water Purifier 10L

This 10L cylinder-shaped purifier is a fantastic option for a family. Apart from the fluoride, this product will remove chlorine, heavy metals, herbicides, arsenic, pathogenic bacteria, and much more, while delivering tasty fresh water. 

There are many stylish colours to choose from that will go with any decor. Despite being a ‘big’ 10L capacity, it is not very bulky as it is tall rather than wide. Measuring 22cm wide and 51cm in height, it does not take that much bench space. 

This product comes with a carbon core super sterasyl filter that should last for around 12 months and/or deliver approximately 2000L of clean purified water. Once that is done, you easily get replacement filters.

Unlike terracotta filters, this ceramic/ stoneware cylinder will not grow nasty mould – which could lead to water developing a bad taste. The ceramic water purifier is very easy to clean and will last for a very long time. The warranty lasts twelve months. 

The only downside is that delivery takes up to a few weeks as this product is made in small numbers. Good things happen to those who wait! 

Best Budget — AceBio + WatersCo 1L Water Filter Jug

If you are looking for an affordable alternative, you can’t go past this 1L jug with an internal filter system. 

The filtration system is just as efficient as other more expensive options. It will remove fluoride, heavy metals and chlorine from tap water and will deliver fresh tasting pure water at a fraction of the price. You will also save on bottled water! The plastic jug is BPA-free.  

This 1L jug comes with a set of filters that should last for up to 24 months, making this affordable product even more so! This jug can easily fit inside most fridges. This is also a good option for taking with you to your holiday rental or even a camping trip.

Top of the Class Filter — Waters Co BIO 400 5.25L

This is really the Rolls-Royce of water purifiers and – let’s be blunt – it does come at a price. 

Nevertheless, the investment also has long-term top-class benefits – including a filter kit that should last up to four years – and it comes with a lifetime warranty. 

This filter eliminates up to 99.9% of the fluoride present in tap water. It has similar removal rates for other undesirable elements such as chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria and rust. All of which contribute to clean-tasting pure water ready for you to drink. 

This filter, with a 5.25L capacity, will cater to a big thirsty family and/or small offices. Need something even bigger? There’s also a 10L model! Said that, a family of four or five should be alright with the smaller – and cheaper – model.

Don’t like white? This baby also comes in black. 

Don’t like plastic? No worries! The reservoir is made from glass. 

This filter is meant to go on your benchtop – no need for electricity and plumbing connections. 

Please note: delivery can take a little longer than usual as this item is shipped from overseas directly to the buyer.

Best When You Are On The Go — Mini Waterman Filter Bottle 600ml

This reusable 600ml water bottle really is a filter on the go! 

You can fit this bottle inside a backpack when you go for long walks or, simply, to have it on your desk. This bottle + filter combo is made from BPA-free ABS plastic making it lightweight and easy to carry around. 

You can have up to 400L of water for each filter. Like all the above-mentioned products, it removes fluoride and other undesirable chemicals from tap water and it contributes towards the elimination of single-use disposable plastic bottles. 

With a 600ml capacity, this product is recommended for individual use, rather than a shared family water dispenser. 

The only downside to this bottle is its ‘not-so-tightly-sealed lid’. So, when carrying it around, make sure it is in an upright position.
