Really don't want fluoride in my water...how can I circumvent this?

Move to a municipality that doesnt fluoridate the supply, use RO water which removes most of the fluoride or buy bottled water.

Doesn't bottled water also often contain fluoride?
And apparently reverse osmosis systems are expensive and unaffordable to the average consumer.

Nah, they are cheap and easy to install. Costco sells them for a couple hundred bucks. Unless your paranoid enough to want RO'd shower water... In that case you can pay out the ass for whole house RO systems too.

Is there any way to tell which bottled water is ok and which is not?

RO'd water removes most of it. Distilled water should remove all but a trace. Just dont fuck up your electrolytes by downing a bunch of distilled water at once.

Will the bottle tell if the water is distilled or RO'd? And how much distilled water is "too much" at one time? I drink a shitton of water.

Yes, when you buy gallon bottles at walmart or whatever you buy either RO'ed or Distilled. If you drink too much distilled water your electrolytic balance could get fucked. Drinking too much of any water will do this. I think of this as a possible acute incident, but some people claim that long term drinking of pure water will leach vital minearls from your bones or something. I dont blieve that is as big of a problem as they make it out to be. Be sure to read some medical professionals opinions on this.
If you are going to drink distilled water, you may want to supplement with some added electrolytes. These may work, but be sure to read around on it.

Regardless, I bought some SmartWater. Distilled, and with added electrolytes.

i love how the word ro water gets tossed around in anti fluoride conversations. if a person consumed true ro water, it would pass through them about as fast as just dumping it out on the floor.

And to the best of my knowledge I've never tried RO water...the water I just bought is merely distilled with added electrolytes.

water that goes straight through u doesn't come out your cock, it comes out your ass. true fresh ro water is very different from regular water. when i instal real ro systems, it is required to use special pipe and fitings that melt together (not glue or solder/flux) and requires special fixtures so not to contaminate the pure water that comes out the tap.

RO doesn't really make pure water though. It take out a lot, but I wouldn't think of it as 'pure'. Distillation makes purer water, by orders of magnitude I suspect.

ro isn't a type of filter, it is a system of filters and processes. if u don't think real ro water is pure, go get a case of dasani water and freeze it. at least several bottles will super cool. this is only possible with pure water. when we installed the dasani ro sytem at the coke plant we were warned not to drink it, that it had to be bottled for an hour before it was safe. one of our coworkers thought it was a dare...

Right, I know what it is. Its the reverse of osmosis. Osmotic pressure in a solution comes from a chemical potential gradient. Osmotic pressure always acts such that it reduces the chemical gradient across the membrane. RO for drinking water does the opposite. You apply pressure on the solution and the chemical potential gradient across the membrane increases. Better systems will increase the gradient more with better membranes and higher pressure. But you can do simple osmosis and reverse osmosis at home with a coffee filter. You arn't going to get it very pure though, of course. I would expect that Dasani has quality ones, but again, in general distillation makes a much purer product that RO. Just depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Distilled water is your best bet OP. You can buy a water distiller for like $99.

I have places near me that sell Reverse-Osmosis and 6 stage filtered purified alkaline water, like 50c/gallon, I just get 5 gallon refills.
They also add a minerals concentration to it for like 50c. Good shit. Alkaline water is the way to go.

What kind of water filter? If you're talking about like a brita type filter then you're not getting rid of the fluoride in the water.

cheapest solution is probably an outdoor still, if you have the time to run it. (indoors you're likely to use a stove, and that becomes an expensive endeavor all over again)

it was straight out of an industrial grade ro filtration system, it doesn't get any more pure than that.

It doesnt really make sense. Once you start getting water to be 99.x% pure I cant see how the body would react that differently. And the only thing I have ever heard about is electrolyte imbalance.

If it is true that's interesting. A distant relative of mine is an engineer who works at a plant that makes very pure water for semiconductor manufacturing, I guess he would have some ideas on that. I haven't seen him in quite a while though.

ask him, i'm curious. the ro filters i deal with and the consumer grade filters are very different things. when we install a filter in a lab or plant/factory, we have to run special pipes all the way to the faucets, special faucets, everything. when u put a system on a house, it is just installed in line then flows through your existing pipes, not ro rated fuse pipes and probably absorbs a lot of crap (pipe dope, minerals, teflon, etc and also has time to re-ionize) along the way.
suess, input? u always seem to know everything.

I believe you on the special pipes, etc. Deionized/distilled/pure water loves to pull whatever it can from the surroundings. If you want the water to remain pure, you will have to use special pipes, faucets, etc, to prevent contamination. Beyond that, I live on an island and the majority of our drinking water comes from RO purified sea water. The label reads "Purified by reverse osmosis, ozonation, and ultraviolet light." The nutrition facts label is all zeros.

that being the point of letting it remained bottled for 30 minutes. after enough time it reionizes and becomes potable. in yalls case, it pulls enough crap from standard plumbing by the time it hits your sink. the pipes we use to plumb a lab are special pipes and we have to fuse them together, no glue/chemicals what so ever. nothing smells better than a ro fitting iron in the morning.
its pretty funny dasani even uses an ro filter, the water here is usually in the top 3 tap waters in the world, and then they filter it. it makes for fun super cooling experiments though.

They have RO pumps at my local hydro store for $100 bucks. Lots of growers use them to dechlorinate their grow water and get the PPM count ultra low. You only do the water you're using, not the whole water supply. No point in flushing RO water when you're just pooping in it.
