Water Defluoridation

Defluoridation is the process of removing fluoride from water, which can negatively affect human and animal health. Fluoride is a toxic element that can lead to the development of fluorosis, a disease that damages teeth and bones and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Defluoridation can be carried out by various methods, including chemical precipitation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis and others. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but all of them are aimed at removing fluoride from drinking water.

One of the most effective defluoridation methods is reverse osmosis. This method is based on the use of semi-permeable membranes that allow only water molecules to pass through, leaving fluoride and other impurities to remain on the filter side.

Another method is electrodialysis. This method uses an electric current to separate water and fluorine molecules into two sides of the cell.

Both methods are effective and can be used to defluoridate drinking water at home or in businesses. However, before using any method, you must ensure that it is safe for health and will not affect the quality of the water.



Water is an essential element for life on Earth. It is involved in all biochemical processes, and also performs many other important functions in our body. Unfortunately, the quality of most drinking water sources does not meet the requirements. Many countries, including Russia, are faced with the problem of excess fluoride in water, which can lead to serious health consequences. This is why water defluoridation receives so much attention around the world.

Defluoridation is the process of removing excess fluoride from water to ensure its safety and compliance with sanitary standards. Too much fluoride in drinking water can damage tooth enamel, increasing the risk of tooth decay and other dental and gum diseases. Defluoridated water is used for both domestic and industrial needs.

The technology for water defluoridation (low temperature exposure) was developed at the beginning of the last century, but until recently it was not used in mass production due to the higher cost and potential complexity of the technology itself. Today, defluorinated hydrogen is used in large drinking water plants.

But still, in ordinary household use, fluoride in water can be useful. It is known to contain a lot of chlorine, which leads to severe air pollution. Fluoride can kill bacteria. This element is used to disinfect water in various industries.
