This is a custom filtering fluoride and whole house water filtration and conditioning system. The fluoride filtering effectiveness is excellent as you will later see in the test below.
One tank removes fluoride, arsenic and chromium 6 or Hexavalent chromium. The latter poison and carcinogen is well known because it was what the Erin Brockovich film was about.
In addition, a secondary tank removes chlorine, chloramines, organics, pesticides, odors, tastes, and colors. It is a very effective whole house water filter system in a house where there is some very serious disease. We are doing everything we can to protect the family from the incoming chemicals and contaminants in the water.
In this particular application, there was no room to put these tanks, these tanks are actually seven feet tall total. Therefore, as part of what we do in terms of our custom installations we were able to excavate down four feet and bring the tanks down into the dirt. That way we could get them at about three feet total.
You will also notice the camouflage paint to help the tanks blend into the landscape. At Pure Elements, we pay attention to aesthetics whenever possible.
The capacity handling of this water filter system is impressive. The chlorine removal is in excess of 3 million gallons and fluoride removal is in excess of 2 million gallons. Other contaminants have different individual levels or removal and reduction.
The independent water test that was done on these was done by National Testing Laboratories to confirm that we had very effective removing fluoride. That is an especially sensitive component in this particular case due to the health issue in this home.

Pure Elements recently installed a custom HealthyHome Solution system including a fluoride filter and a Total Property Whole House Water System at an estate in Orange, California. To demonstrate our effectiveness at removing fluoride, we had the treated water tested by an independent laboratory (National Testing Laboratories, LTD). The test results exceeded our client’s expectations, and greatly impressed the healthcare practitioners who are providing her treatment.
Our client is currently using the Gerson Therapy as one of her treatment regimens. This therapy has extremely strict requirements for water quality. Patients are required to drink and bathe in only distilled water, utilizing sponge baths. The reason for this is to insure the body does not have to deal with any added toxins.
However, acquiring enough distilled water is often a serious problem for patients. Distillers are cumbersome, slow and inefficient – usually not able to create enough water in a day for the patient’s essential needs. Gerson Therapy patients used to endure a stressful situation when trying to obtain water of the high quality necessary for their regimen, until Pure Elements developed specialized systems to make their lives easier and give them peace of mind.
By installing our Pure Elements’ HealthyHome Solution system with the added fluoride water filter, people who are on a journey to fight serious disease can experience greatly reduced stress relating to water quality concerns. Listen to our ecstatic client talk about the added convenience and availability of unlimited, high quality throughout her home. Check out her video and interview here: Gerson Therapy Water Quality

Check out this video on fluoride in the water and toothpaste. We found it disturbing, enlightening and another example of why we must use a water filtering system in our homes.
In the video, Dr. Osmunson is introduced to us as a leader in the opposition for fluoride in the water. His creditability includes being a full-time dentist for over 30 years in Pacific Northwest. He also has an MPH or Masters in Public Health and brings a unique perceptive because of his growing up in Africa the son of missionaries.
The interview focuses on some of the recent research Dr. Osmunson has been doing on fluoride in toothpaste and fluoride in the water. He provides information on why fluoride should be removed from our drinking water. This plays into why we at Pure Elements have for years believed in filtering fluoride using some type of water treatment or water purification like reverse osmosis.
Fluoride was believed to be good as far as dental health was concerned. The doctor himself promoted fluoridation for over 25 years. However, during the last 5 to 8 years some of the doctor’s patients encouraged him to take a closer look at fluoride.
Like most dentists, he has given out free toothpaste samples. However, when he started looking at the labels, some inconsistencies troubled him. One of the instructions commonly found on toothpaste tube labels show an age preference or limit for younger kids. In addition, it says right on the label that a very small portion of toothpaste should be used. A much smaller amount than you will ever see in television and marketing ads. Those ads portray putting fluoridated toothpaste the entire length of the brush and back with a swirl. According to the tube’s label, that is way too much. In fact that amount could make up more than a month’s worth of fluoride laced toothpaste! The fluoride toothpaste manufacturer’s label recommends using about the size of a small pea. Plus, on the same label it notes that if you ingest too much toothpaste you should contact the poison control people. The FDA it seems allows some variable wording. That seemed frightening to us considering that if you did not know already, fluoride is considered a poison. That gets explained further later in the interview.
The doctor then holds up a glass of Chicago tap water, which is said to contain around a quarter milligram of fluoride in the water, which is about what you are told in toothpaste not to use. Therefore, the perplexing thing is that we are being told to not swallow a quarter milligram of fluoride in our toothpaste but it is okay to drink a quarter milligram of fluoride in the water. This does not make any sense to anyone.
Why is there so much controversy surrounding fluoride in the water?
The doctor felt like he should know this because he did not. Dr. Osmunson than tells us about an experiment that was done where a drop of fluoride was put under the tongue of a mouse. That drop was 10 parts per million less than is in the glass water which is about 100 times more. The experiment was able to measure the attention deficit reduction of the mouse. Although Dr. Osmunson does not come out directly and say it here, we believe he means to say the fluoride caused the mouse to be unable to concentrate well.
Therefore, we know we are getting some neurological damage from the fluoride. The latest research is finding an eight-point IQ drop when the serum blood level goes from .04 to .08. So when the fluoride level doubles in the blood serum is where the eight point IQ drop occurs. Fluoride is very toxic in fact more toxic than lead. Of course, we do not want lead in us either because that causes brain damage too. Installing a water purifier is the only way presently to raise water quality and reduce the threat of these types of contaminants.
So one of the big concerns Dr. Osmunson has is about the brain. He feels that for every IQ point that is dropped there is also a correlation between the amounts of money that a person could potentially make during a year. He gives the example of $1000 less a year a person will earn per drop in IQ point. This is fascinating and frightening to us! First thing we thought of was the overall drop of quality education in this country. Combine this with water fluoridation and we will have a serious lack of brainpower developing in the US.
The doctor makes a great point about dentists fix teeth but no one fixes IQ. Irreparable damage is happening to our country. If you compare states on which ones have the most fluoride in their water Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Hawaii and several other states have the lowest percentage of water with fluoride. Then the graph goes up to a certain point where almost all states are fluoridated. Findings show there is a tripling of mental retardation in the more fluoridated states. Illinois is a prime example of this tripling effect.
The American Dental Association recommends that a woman have about 3 mg per kilogram of fluoride a day. Men should have about 4 mg. Our question is according to what reasoning are these seemingly arbitrary amounts suggested if fluoride is considered a poison? Why would anyone want to take in a known poison? That same suggested recommended amount causes a level of fluoride in the blood consistent with an eight-point IQ drop. What is going on here with water and fluoride? While not one for conspiracy theories, this seems to us like the kind of thing were someone is lining their pockets at the health expense of millions of Americans. The perplexing nature of the fluoridation of water gets more crazy as the interview continues.
In the United States, we do not do many studies on the adverse effects of fluoride. Fluoride is always being promoted so it has been deemed counterproductive to show it in a negative light we guess. It seems like people do not want to find out that we are having problems with it. However, a study was done by the Center of disease control in China. China does not allow fluoride to be put in the water at all. They know it is too toxic and it causes damage. Therefore, what China does is they take their waste products of phosphate fertilizer, which is fluoride, and ship it to us here in America. China is where most of the fluoride comes from. We actually drink what the Chinese will not allow in their water. Does that make any sense to you because it sure does not to us!
We use all the fluoride we make here in the United States but it has been viewed to not be enough. Therefore, we actually have it imported from China. To clarify, we import industrial waste from China so we can put in our water. How do you feel now? And of course the waste is contaminated with lead, arsenic, radium, aluminum and a host of other contaminants. It is not a cleaned up pharmaceutical grade that is put in our water but rather a lesser grade. Do you think the idea of water filters and a fluoride filter is starting to look a little more appealing?
The thought of brain damage from fluoride in the water is so staggering to the doctor that it is hard for him to grasp.
In other words, he is in shock over it. We know the feeling. In addition, the latest research has published by the National Institute of Health, which is about as prestigious as you can get in certifying authority and publishing research. The doctor assures us that the research is very good quality. US studies on fluoride, blood serum levels and how that relates to IQ loss have rarely been done here. He is saying that in this particular area, China has done research that the US has failed to do for whatever reason.
If you really want fluoride, just swallow a pea-sized piece of toothpaste and you will have plenty, the doctor infers. It is not as if you cannot get it somewhere else. However, it does not need to be in the water. Dr. Osmunson’s feeling is he is highly opposed to fluoridation of water and we at Pure Elements agree. There are so many health inconsistencies that it can relate to it to do with bones, fractures, the pineal gland in the brain, and the health of teeth.
The risk to teeth health has not been looked at. He agrees with almost everyone that he has spoken with knows that too much fluoride creates dental fluorosis. No one he knows disputes this. Moreover, skeletal fluorosis is a risk too. White or brown spots formed on the teeth identify dental fluorosis. If it is just on one tooth and not on the other teeth, it may not be the fluoride. If several teeth show the spots, developing at the same time than that it is fluoride. You only get this condition when you are younger and the teeth are still developing. It happens when teeth are developing inside the bone. The National Research Council states that fluoride does not show any beneficial effects after the age of eight. This is because the teeth are finished forming after eight.
The only reason it seems fluoride is in the community water is the hope it will reach children between the ages of one and eight. For the rest of us there is no benefit but rather detriment. The National Research Council, which is the highest scientific body in the United States, says there is no benefit for anyone over the age of eight with fluoride. Yet it is in two thirds of our water supply. It is a markedly stupid situation. Also, we only drink less than 1% of the water that is fluoridated.
It should be the patient or the parent’s choice as to whether they want a fluoride treatment or not. It should not be forced on the entire community. We should be allowed to choose.
The doctor goes on to talk about how little fluoride affects even preventing tooth decay.
Therefore, while fluoride is forced on us now in our tap water, filtering it and reducing its presence can be achieved. It is the only solution available to us consumers right now since most municipalities will not be removing fluoride from the water anytime soon. There are two ways of reducing fluoride in your home and Pure Elements can explain them both to you if you are interested. Call or email us today to discuss your options to get fluoride in the water reduced.
At Pure Elements, we are getting more and more concerned clients looking for a whole house water filter that removes fluoride from their water and therefore provides a healthier home living environment. Certain areas in Orange County, especially Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Irvine, and Corona del Mar, are living with levels of fluoride that are a concern to residents. We have developed a specialized system that effectively removes fluoride, chlorine, chloramines, organics, pesticides, and other contaminants. In addition, this system reduced hard water problems without the use of salt.
This system requires two fully automatic tanks filled with a special mix of different media to filter out waterborne chemicals. Our first filter tank contains a specialty activated alumina media that is focused on filtering out and removes fluoride. This media also provides substantial reduction of arsenic. We have added the automatic backwashing feature to reclassify the media bed, which continues to expose new surface area after every self-cleaning cycle.
The second filter tank contains five types of media which serve the purpose of 1) Reduction of heavy metals and bacterial growth: 2) Effective removal of chlorine, organics, pesticides, colors, tastes and odors; 3) Reduction of chloramines, sulfur and physical impurities; 4) Backup polish for any residual fluoride; and 5) Protection of flow rates and volume for the filtered water to the house.
Our proprietary catalytic water conditioner is also housed, which offers a salt free alternative to outdated salt water softeners. This technology insures an environmentally sound process, and eliminates the slimy feeling characteristics associated with traditional soft water. Our saltless water conditioner protects the drinking water and the ecosystem.
The system in this picture was installed at an estate home in Orange Park Acres, California. The system required two days of custom plumbing work to bury the tanks in a planter, as there was no other area to locate the components. Note the perfectly true full-size plumbing and camouflage paint used to make the whole house filter system blend into the planter. After the photo was taken, two plants were placed in front of the water system to hide it.
Because of health issues affecting the owner, this specialty water system from Pure Elements, Inc. was researched, reviewed, and approved by one of the leading alternative Cancer treatment clinics south of the border. This system removes fluoride, provides a high quality, clean filtered water to the house for bathing, drinking, ice and ingredient use and also makes good water available for horses to drink and bathe in.
This recent article in the LA Times demonstrates how shocking and perplexing water fluoridation is.
Why are we allowing ourselves to be exposed to a potentially toxic chemical, not to mention being forced to consume it in our drinking water supplied by municipalities? Fluoride has many ramifications – and a long history of being use to alter the state of beings… Did you know that fluoride is used to keep bulls docile? And that this chemical was used in concentration camps to keep the prisoners in a less rebellious state? Having studied the many issues surrounding the fluoride controversy, I have come to have the realization that this is something we should not be exposed to except on our own terms, at our own discretion. Fluoride is big industry and government’s way of disposing of fluorine gas.
Some critical questions exist: How can we be sure the municipalities are adding the proper amount of fluoride, never too much or too little? And how does this fluoride contribute to our daily intake, when combined with dietary sources and toothpastes? I want to control my family’s exposure to this chemical, and the water never has a constant amount I can expect to be present.
What if I want to remove the fluoride from my water? The only water filtration systems that remove the chemical now are reverse osmosis water systems and alumina filters. Reverse osmosis systems waste water, strip all the healthy minerals, and create a dead taste. Alumina filter media traps the fluoride, but I had heard that our government wants to charge to have the spent media hauled away as toxic waste! So I see red flags and hypocrisy – Our government is forcing fluoride on us in our drinking water, and the telling us it is too toxic to throw away in the trash?
Here are a couple of videos about fluoride. Take some time to educate yourself about it. There is something going on here…
