Fluoride and boron removal

Illustration: Fluoride and boron removal

The problem

In deep boreholes in central and western Estonia, fluoride and boron levels often exceed drinking water limits (1.5 mg/l for fluoride). Excess fluoride damages teeth and bones. Ordinary filters and softeners do not remove these substances – we use reverse osmosis or special sorbents, selected from a water analysis.

Our solution

Together we determine your needs, supply suitable equipment or materials, install them and keep the system running with maintenance. We have 15 years of experience in water treatment and work across Estonia.

Price

Price depends on water quality, required capacity and installation scope. We prepare an exact quote after a water analysis or site details.

Service area

We are based in Tartu County (Rehepapi põik 3, Soinaste küla, Kambja vald) and mainly serve Tartu and Harju counties – Tartu, Tallinn and the surrounding areas. We also travel to sites anywhere in Estonia.

Frequently asked questions: Fluoride and boron removal

Why is fluoride and boron removal important?

Some groundwater in Estonia contains fluoride or boron above the limit permitted for drinking water. Excessive amounts can be harmful to health, so the water must be treated where necessary.

Which methods are used to remove fluoride and boron?

Reverse osmosis, selective ion exchange resins and adsorption media are used. Boron removal may require a dedicated solution or several stages.

How can I find out whether my water has too much fluoride or boron?

A laboratory analysis will show this. The results are compared with the limit values set in drinking water requirements.

Is the solution suitable for water utilities and companies?

Yes. We offer solutions for smaller water utilities as well as industrial companies, based on capacity and water composition.
