Precision Fluoride Dosing for Safe Drinking Water
Water fluoridation improves dental health by maintaining optimal fluoride levels in drinking water. Since natural fluoride concentrations in New Zealand and Australian water sources is low, controlled fluoride dosing helps prevent tooth decay in communities with a reticulated water supply. FILTEC’s fluoride treatment systems ensure accuracy, safety, and compliance with national drinking water and chemical safety standards.

How Water Fluoridation Works
Water fluoridation involves carefully adding fluoride compounds to drinking water to achieve a targeted concentration that supports dental health. Once introduced, fluoride interacts with tooth enamel, strengthening it against decay and helping to prevent cavities. Precise dosing systems ensure fluoride levels remain within regulatory guidelines, providing safe and effective protection for those consuming treated water.Â
FAQs
Why is water fluoridation important?
Water fluoridation is a proven public health measure that helps prevent tooth decay by maintaining fluoride at an optimal level in drinking water.
How is fluoride added to drinking water?
Fluoride is introduced through controlled dosing of fluoride compounds such as hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFA), sodium fluoride (NaF), or sodium fluorosilicate (SFS), depending on the facility’s requirements.
Is fluoride treatment safe?
Yes, when properly managed, fluoride treatment is safe and meets stringent drinking water and chemical safety standards in New Zealand and Australia.
How is fluoride concentration monitored?
Fluoride levels are continuously monitored through automated analysers and routine testing to ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines and maintain optimal dosing accuracy.
What are the maintenance requirements for a water fluoridation system?
Regular system checks, equipment calibration, and scheduled servicing are necessary to ensure safe and controlled fluoride injection. FILTEC provides ongoing support and maintenance for all fluoridation systems.
