removal of flouride
(OP)
We have a water well for drinking water that has a high flouride. Does anyone know of a reasonable, economical way of getting rid of the excess flouride. The water is pumped from the well directly to standpipes in a campground.





RE: removal of flouride
The best technologies are reverse osmosis and distillation. These processes will remove 90%+ of the fluoride but will be expensive. If you do not want the expense of a distillation or a reverse osmosis system, you can try a filter with a cartridge containing activated alumina.
Activated alumina cartridges are relatively expensive and have a short like, but they do work.
