LF fluoride filter for my 1/2" handheld shower

I have a 1/2" handheld shower and was wondering if anyone has found a fluoride filter yet for it. I've found lots on Amazon but they're for smaller fittings.

Thanks!

Is fluoride skin toxic now?
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

It is if a study tells you it is and someone else will sell you something to filter it out of your shower water. Winking Face

You breathe in the vapours while you're showering as well as getting it in your eyes, ears and mouth.
Best to wear a surgical mask and goggles while bathing.
If they banned sugar they wouldn't have to add fluoride to the water.

Sure you can.

Reverse osmosis systems work by using pressure to push water through different membranes and filters to create “pure water”. While chemicals and bacteria are removed, so are many good minerals. Iron, calcium, manganese, as well as fluoride are removed with reverse osmosis systems.

Even specialized bone char carbon filters can remove it.
Bone char is a special type of activated carbon that is made from carefully selected and cleaned animal bones. Most animal bones contain a large amount of a compound called hydroxylapatite. This is a special form of calcium apatite that is especially attractive to fluoride. When bone char is exposed to water that contains fluoride, the filter exchanges the fluoride ions for hydroxide ions, removing them from the water.
