High-Fluoride Water? Meet the Long-Life Fluoride Removal Balls That Outperform Activated Alumina


The Invisible Threat Above 1.5 mg/L  

Groundwater from North China to East Africa often carries fluoride at 5–15 mg/L—far above the WHO guideline of 1.5 mg/L. Conventional activated alumina fluoride filters demand weekly regeneration and release salty wastewater. ZONE’s next-generation fluoride removal media ends that cycle.  

 

What Are ZONE Fluoride Removal Balls?  

• Composition: Porous ceramic core + nano-scale activated alumina clusters  

  


• Function: Chemisorbs fluoride ions into a stable complex—no secondary release  



• Form: Ø2–4 mm spheres for any cartridge, tank, or gravity pot

Case Studies  

1. Rural Water Station, Gaomi, China  

   5 kg fluoride removal balls in a 20" big-blue housing → 15 m³/day; 12 months later effluent < 0.8 mg/L.  



2. NGO Project, Kenya  

   1 kg in a ceramic gravity pot → 200 L/day; maintenance-free for 6 months.  

 

 

Five Advantages Over Standard Activated Alumina Fluoride Filters  

1. Long-life fluoride removal—no regeneration, just replace when exhausted  

2. Zero-waste fluoride treatment—no brine discharge  

3. pH self-buffering—stable 6.5–7.5 for pleasant taste  

4. Food-grade & ISO 9001:2015 certified  

5. Modular plug-and-play—fits household, community, or RO pre-treatment
