Filteroo Max Fluoride Removal Gravity Water Filter Cartridge
- Reduces Fluoride
- Fits Any 12.5mm Thread Gravity Filters
- Not Suitable for Berkey Filters
The Filteroo® MAX fluoride removal cartridges provide an excellent solution for eliminating undesirable fluoride from your drinking water. As water passes slowly through the cartridge in gravity water filters, it allows for ample contact time with the media contained within, thereby facilitating the removal of the maximum quantity of fluoride.
Manufactured by Omnipure in the United States, these fluoride removal cartridges are straightforward to attach directly to the threaded connection of your Filteroo rain and city water gravity carbon block cartridge. The design of the cartridge allows it to hang within the lower tank of your Filteroo Steel gravity water filter.
It is important to note that Filteroo® MAX fluoride removal gravity cartridges are incompatible with Black Berkey cartridges and cannot be used within the Filteroo Joey ceramic gravity purifiers.

Instructions
- Remove the plastic wrapping whilst keeping the cartridge clean. (Wash the cartridge outside if required before removing the thread end caps).
- Remove the end caps from each end of the cartridge.
- Sit the rubber flushing washer over the hole on 1 end of the cartridge. Hold the cartridge and washer as you press it up against the tap spout to get a good seal. Gently turn on the cold water and allow the water to flow into the cartridge & then out the other end to flush the fine particles out of the cartridge. Flush continuously for 1 minute.
- Turn the cartridge around and repeat above. Flush for a further 1 minute & ensure that the water flows clear. Repeat this process for all the Filteroo MAX fluoride removal cartridges you intend to install.
- Once the cartridge is flushed, lift the top tank off your Filteroo Steel bottom tank & sit the top tank upside down on the bench top. The Filteroo MAX Fluoride Removal cartridge screws directly onto the exposed carbon cartridge threaded stem already installed. (Note - Only 1 end of the cartridge has a thread). The cartridge MUST be installed by the threaded end. Screw on the cartridge gently ensuring you do not cross the thread. Tighten until firm. Do not over tighten.
- Once the Filteroo MAX fluoride removal cartridges have been installed, place the top tank back onto the bottom tank. The fluoride cartridges hang down inside the bottom tank. Now fill the top tank with water and allow that water to filter down through both the Filteroo carbon cartridge & the Filteroo MAX fluoride removal cartridges.
- Once the top tank water has emptied into the bottom tank. Discharge that water to waste or onto the garden.
- Then rinse the mineral pad under flowing water for a few seconds to rinse & remove any fine particles. Place the mineral pad onto the base of the bottom tank and your water filter is now ready to be refilled & used.
Lifespan
Each Filteroo® MAX fluoride removal cartridge lasts for 2000 litres. So if you have 2 x cartridges installed into your Filteroo Steel gravity water filter you have 4000 litres of use. 2 cartridges will provide 10 plus litres every day of the year. We recommend you replace each cartridge after 2000 litres or every 12 months which ever comes first.
Maintenance
If your water flow slows down, or when scrubbing or backwashing your Filteroo rain & city water gravity carbon block cartridges, you can use the flushing washer supplied & backwash the Filteroo MAX fluoride removal cartridges also to keep the flow rate the best it can be.
