Years ago I made the bad decision of thinking bottled water was much safer than the faucet public water. I initially bought an electrolyzer and determined that all the bottle water had contaminants, some having metals, but Fluoride being in all. I mostly bought Niagra/Kirkland and sometimes Deer Park. After investigating, Deer Park at the time (last year) had the highest content of PFAS forever chemicals of any bottled water I could find test results on. If you have consumed a 40 bottle case of Deer Park, you have exceeded your lifetime consumption of PFAS. I later learned there are virtually no regulations on bottled water. I then tested via the electrolyzer faucet and bottled water filtered through a Brita pitcher. Fluoride was still present in all. A zero water pitcher filter will at least remove the fluoride. Fluoride has been associated with cognitive development issues (yes it makes our children’s IQ’s lower) and may be a contributor to dementia and Alzheimer’s. I’m not trying to sell zero water pitchers, but short of installing a full home system (which probably will not eliminate all PFAS), it’s a good filtration alternative. I also installed filters on our shower heads, but they do not typically remove fluoride. As a side note, the water filters you use in refrigerators will not remove fluoride. I use the filtered zero water from the pitcher to make ice. If you have a kitchen top ice maker you may need to use a very small pinch of salt in the water to restore the electrical conductivity of the water. Zero water will cause the ice maker to falsely read “no water” even if the reservoir is full. A few grains of salt will correct this probiem.
