15. I can find no mention of your Kalcifate Plus™ removal media anywhere else except your website. Since you specifically state that you do not use Aluminum Oxide (alumina) as your fluoride removal medium, I am wondering exactly what you are using to remove the fluoride. I presume it is some sort of calcium medium. Can you provide more details on how this works and also whether or not it binds the fluoride in the filter or turns it into calcium fluoride and leaves the calcium fluoride in the water?
16. Is your activated carbon media a granular type or solid block type construction?
17. I am also looking to filter our refrigerator/icemaker water, and wonder if your setup could be easily adopted to remove the output  spout and replace it with a line going to the refrigerator. If not, are your filters cartridges compatible with other housings that might  already have the right type of fittings for a refrigerator connection. I am not trying to fit your filter into a proprietary shaped refrigerator filter, I just want it to sit behind the refrigerator in your housing.
18. I reviewed your laboratory results and they are impressive. However, they were a little light on explanation. I presume that the result with the higher fluoride content was for your single unit filter and the result with the lower fluoride filtration was for the double unit filter. Is that a correct assumption? Also, what was the fluoride condition of the unfiltered water.
19. What organic compounds are effectively removed by the Water Kleen FRS? 

Q. How much fluoride is removed by the WATERKLEEN™ FRS filter?

A. The dual WATERKLEEN™ FRS filter system is independently lab tested to remove 96% of Fluoride and the single unit is lab tested to remove 81% of fluoride. (Fluoride removal percentages are based on laboratory results using tap water containing 1 ppm (Parts per million). Ranges of fluoride content vary in tap water and removal percentages will be affected. Contact your local water authority for fluoride levels in your tap water). Please visit our website danielchapterone.com and view the test results

Q. Does the WATERKLEEN™ remove toxic compounds other than fluoride from my tap water?

A. 76 toxic compounds and pollutants are removed by the WATERKLEEN™ FRS system without taking the healthy benefits (important minerals, calcium, and magnesium) out like Reverse Osmosis and Distilling methods.

Q. Can the cartridges be replaced?

A. Yes the cartridges can be replaced. Because the cartridges are antimicrobial (limits bacterial build up in the cartridge), the cartridge will provide over 1400 gallons of fluoride reduction and removal of toxic elements for only 11 cents per gallon. The cartridges can last a family of 4 a year or more depending on water quality and usage.

Q. Is the WATERKLEEN™ FRS tested to do what it claims it does?

A. The WATERKLEEN™ FRS is independently lab tested to remove fluoride and other toxic elements found in typical tap water. Both the single and dual filters were tested at Spectrum Laboratories, Inc.. The Single unit was found to remove 81% of the fluoride while the Dual removed 96% of the fluoride along with other toxic elements. (Percentages are based upon a fluoride content 1 ppm). The test results are posted on danielchapterone.com.

Q. Will I have to add nutrients to my water after being filtered like with my Reverse Osmosis system?

A. No, the Water Kleen FRS removes pollutants and containments without removing the vital minerals and nutrients that the body needs from water.

Q. Is the WATERKLEEN™ FRS easy to install?

A. The WATERKLEEN™ FRS installs easily and quickly and is extremely economical. To install simply unscrew your faucet head and replace it with the filter’s diverter valve (a pair of pliers might be needed to loosen the faucet head and to tighten the diverter valve). To operate, pull the knob on the diverter valve and water will flow out of the filter’s spout.  Make sure to run only cold water through your Water Kleen filter. The under the counter unit might require professional installment.

Q. Is the WATERKLEEN™ FRS economical to use?

A. The WATERKLEEN™ FRS filters approximately a minimum of 1400 gallons of pure drinking water for a cost of $0.11 cents per gallon.

Q. How does this system work?

A. WATERKLEEN™ FRS cartridge is a combination of NASA developed silver impregnated activated charcoal with Kalcifate Plus™, an organic calcium substrate heat processed. Chemical bonding removes the fluoride.

Q. Is it as good as Activated Alumina?

A. This is best answered by addressing the relationship between aluminum and fluoride. What is very interesting is the assumption that activated alumina is good. Since the body does not readily absorb aluminum by itself, and concerns of aluminum toxicity exist, we need to look at the effect of using alumina. Activated alumina is not a concern in and of itself, but in the presence of fluoride ions, the fluoride ions combine with the aluminum to form aluminum fluoride, which is absorbed by the body. Once in the body, the aluminum eventually combines with oxygen to form the end product aluminum oxide or alumina. Alumina is found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. This being said, we see that our product is superior. Also our dual system will remove 96% fluoride.

(Studies have shown that rats fed alumina in diet results in short term memory loss, unsteady gait, and loss of structures of the neo-cortex and hippocampus, all symptoms consistent of Alzheimer’s disease.)

Q. Can the WATERKLEEN™ FRS be used to filter hot water?

A. No, use cold water when filtering your drinking water.  Using hot water will prevent maximum fluoride removal and might compromise the life of the replacement filter.

Q. Did you develop it yourselves?

A. Yes.

Q. What does FRS stand for?

A. Fluoride Reduction System.

Q. What health problems has fluoride been linked to?

• Hyperactivity (ADD-like symptoms)

Q. Do I have to wait for the water to be purified like with Reverse Osmosis?

A. No, the Water Kleen FRS removes fluoride and containments instantly without the waste of water, money and time that you get with Reverse Osmosis.

Q. I can find no mention of your Kalcifate Plus™ removal media anywhere else except your website. Since you specifically state that you do not use Aluminum Oxide (alumina) as your fluoride removal medium, I am wondering exactly what you are using to remove the fluoride. I presume it is some sort of calcium medium. Can you provide more details on how this works and also whether or not it binds the fluoride in the filter or turns it into calcium fluoride and leaves the calcium fluoride in the water?

A. Kalcifate Plus™ is the Trade Mark name. Since this is proprietary we cannot be specific in how we remove the fluoride. Kalcifate Plus™ is not an elemental calcium product, therefore it does not create calcium fluoride and there is no by product calcium fluoride from this process.

Q. Is your activated carbon media a granular type or solid block type construction?

A. Granular.

Q. I am also looking to filter our refrigerator/icemaker water, and wonder if your setup could be easily adopted to remove the output  spout and replace it with a line going to the refrigerator. If not, are your filters cartridges compatible with other housings that might  already have the right type of fittings for a refrigerator connection. I am not trying to fit your filter into a proprietary shaped refrigerator filter, I just want it to sit behind the refrigerator in your housing.

A. Our under the counter unit is designed to provide an attachment to your ice maker with a diverter line. We would not recommend doing what you are talking about.

Q. I reviewed your laboratory results and they are impressive. However, they were a little light on explanation. I presume that the result with the higher fluoride content was for your single unit filter and the result with the lower fluoride filtration was for the double unit filter. Is that a correct assumption? Also, what was the fluoride condition of the unfiltered water.

A. The higher content of fluoride was for the single unit and the lower level of fluoride content was the result for the dual.  The recommend level for safe fluoride levels in tap water were used (1ppm fluoride) for the lab test.
