Experience superior water filtration with our innovative two-stage system. The BOROUX Proactive Fluoride Filter works in perfect harmony with the BOROUX Foundation Filter to deliver exceptionally clean water.
STAGE 1
Foundation Filter: Initial Filtration

Water first passes through the activated-carbon BOROUX Foundation filter, which:
- Reduces chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants
- Improves taste and odor
- Prepares water for fluoride removal
STAGE 2
Proactive Filter: Advanced Fluoride Removal

The pre-filtered water then flows through our patent-pending dual-layer system:
- Layer 1: Hybrid nano-carbon media for initial fluoride capture
- Layer 2: Advanced granulated carbon for final polishing
- Upflow design maximizes contact time and efficiency
UPFLOW DESIGN
How It Works:

- Water flows through dual-layer media, enhancing contact with filtration materials
- Filtered water exits from the top, using the full surface area of the filter
- Upflow design increases efficiency and extends filter life by up to 20%
The BOROUX Proactive Fluoride Filter is designed to work with:
- BOROUX foundation™ filter
- Black Berkey® Replacement Elements

Prime the Filter
Use the included priming tools to prime the Proactive Filter.

Attach to Foundation Filter
Thread the Proactive Filter onto the stem of your BOROUX Foundation Filter.

Fill & Enjoy
Fill the upper chamber with water and enjoy your filtered water.
Health Implications of Fluoride Exposure
According to the Fluoride Action Network, ~95% of the reporting domestic water suppliers in the US have fluoride levels of 0.7 parts per million or less.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the BOROUX Proactive Fluoride Filter work?
The BOROUX Proactive Fluoride Filter attaches to the stem of the BOROUX Foundation Filter and is suspended in the lower chamber.
The water passes through the BOROUX Foundation filter. Then water first comes in contact with the granulated carbon in the inner layer of the fluoride filters.
Then, the water filters through the nano-carbon outer layer. The upflow design of the stainless steel shell, makes the water stay in contact with the outer layer for a prolonged period of time, providing superior filtration.
The filtered water exits the top of stainless steel shell through the outlet holes and into the lower chamber.
How long do the BOROUX Proactive Fluoride Filters last?
A pair of BOROUX Proactive Fluoride Filters should be replaced every 1,000 gallons, which is approximately 6-12 months of use.
