    is there any cheap way/filter to remove fluoride chlorine from water. Boiling removes chlorine but not fluoride. It is for plants i want it as the chlorine/fluoride turns some leaves brown

    Sound advice why would anyone want to boil or filter water in order to water plants!! I must have a look in Aldi or Lidl for the water butt - with water charges etc...looming this is the only way to go.

    Rainwater is good for your skin and hair
    Just avoid drinking it, bacteria, viruses and cysts may make your stomach upset,
    but so chlorine and fluor and loads of the other chemicals added do all the time
    and nobody bothers

    If your gonna wash with it, you should apply the same rules as if your going to drink it, as you are bound to ingest some.

    As rainwater is collected from your roof, just think 'bird droppings' and you'll see why you don't want to be ingesting it, and can be more serious than just a stomach upset.
