Correct update (30/08/2024)
Berkey Waterfilters UK-EU has confirmed that their PF-2 fluoride filters are completely free of aluminum leaching, as stated in this interview.
Here is the official answer from the Berkey manufacturer:
'' New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. (NMCL) is aware of several social media posts regarding Berkey PF-2TM Fluoride and Arsenic Reducing Elements showing the product and circulating NMCL in a negative light.
While NMCL wishes to challenge many of the points made in these articles, it is company policy for employees not to comment on third-party testing that NMCL did not approve, coordinate, or oversee. Instead, NMCL reiterates facts the company has already released in the past that address important issues.
The main concern being made in these posts is that aluminum is being added to the water by the Berkey PF-2TM Fluoride and Arsenic Reducing Element Media. This information misinterprets the scientific difference between pure aluminum and activated alumina/aluminum oxide (primary PF -2TM medium – not associated with negative health effects) and does not distinguish between the two. It may be due to possible tests.
This problem has occurred from time to time over the years and will likely continue to be caused by individuals with limited knowledge of the media used in Berkey PF-2TM fluoride and arsenic reducing elements. Or it may include the promotion of competing products by individuals with competing agendas.
Here are some helpful articles from the company's knowledge base that explain the differences between aluminum and activated alumina.

PF-2 filters contain high quality activated alumina (AL2O3), which is currently the most efficient medium available for extracting fluoride from water.
They are completely harmless. The active material in PF-2 filters is alumina, and alumina is aluminum trioxide. This is a recognized method for removing fluoride, and alumina is an inert compound and therefore has no toxic effects.
Inert compounds do not chemically react with living tissue.
Alumina is not aluminum.

How safe is our drinking water? do you know too what's inside it? What would you say if you were told that you were being drugged with highly dangerous chemicals through your drinking water without your consent? No doubt most of us will be up in arms, but in 2024 this is exactly what will happen. The UK government is planning to. Six million people already drink fluoridated water in the UK, but the addition of fluoride in sources is set to expand across England.
Debi Evans catches up with National Coordinator Joy Warren Fluoride Free Alliance UK. from our beginning poisoned chalice Interview, she continued to campaign against water fluoridation shortly after gaining her BSC (Hons) in Environmental Science in 2002. An account of her long struggle with hypothyroidism after moving to fluoridated Coventry. After researching the issue of fluoride's negative effects on the endocrine system and many others, Joy became convinced that the practice of adding drugs to drinking water is a completely unethical medical practice. Part of her journey involves eliminating fluoride from her environment. This wasn't a feat that meant living like in a fluorescent city.
Joy joined National Pure Water Association In 2005, he quickly became executive director. In 2010 she left NPWA and started West Midlands Against Fluoridation, running a highly successful website and fluoride analysis service. During this time, she obtained a certificate in health and nutrition. In 2018, encouraged by friends, she founded Fluoride Free Alliance UK (FFAUK).
Since 2003, there have been several attempts to add fluoride to English drinking water, and Joy Warren has been actively involved in ensuring each attempt fails. Joy is busy organizing a public consultation on this issue. In this interview, she discusses what the public can do to oppose water fluoridation. Fluoride is invisible and the government wants it to remain that way. It is up to each of us to inform others of the dangers of fluoride.
We learn in a follow-up interview of her concerns for all citizens of the UK and her specific concerns surrounding fetal health and the long-term effects of fluoride. In utero.
This interview covers what fluoride is and how dangerous it is. What is a neurotoxin? Can you stop your area from being fluoridated? Joy Warren is drugging us with fluoride through our drinking water without our consent. Medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine. Why would the government make this potentially disastrous decision and how will it affect you and future generations?
How can we protect ourselves and our families from drinking fluoridated water? Joy advises on steps each of us can take.
Fluoride is also present in many medicines and foods. Do you know how much fluoride your body is taking in? Are you aware of the dangers to children and babies? Dental vans visit elementary schools to paint children's teeth with fluoride varnish. do you agree?
What else is in your water? do you know? And even if you don't live in a fluoridated area, can you be sure your water comes from your area?
