Looking for a company that can install a water filter that filters out fluoride and a lot of the bad stuff from tap water. Any recommendations?

Ames water doesn't have fluoride, it's T-Dazzle.
I thought fluoridation was a thing of the past. Apparently not.
The song leads me to believe that Ames water is so good it requires no filtering.

Fluoride has been outstanding for the dental health of the country and it's a huge success story. It's right up there with iodized salt.
People's teeth are so much heathier these days than before fluoride was added to water systems.
Yeah I watch Dark Waters about once a year to remind myself of all the **** that is in our water water. Thanks 3M, Dow, and DupontProbably should be more worried about PFOA and PFOS...
PFAS
The Iowa DNR has developed this action plan to protect the health of Iowa residents & the environment from PFASwww.iowadnr.gov
or if there are any Des moines companies that someone can recommend, I would be interested as well.
Although I am personally in favor of both fluoride and disinfectants in the water, you are best to get a single point of use system that goes under your sink for water you want to use for consumption and cooking. You won't waste money on extra treatment for water that is used for gardening, showers, baths, toilets, handwashing, etc. Whatever you get, make sure maintenance is easy and followed. The worst thing you can do is install a system and not maintain it and end up with bacterial and/or viral growth in the units due to improper maintenance. If you want your refrigerator connected to the system for ice/cold water you can run a line from the unit to the refrigerator; however, I do not recommend using RO water to a refrigerator because you will have no disinfectant in the water and you WILL get growth in the lines and bins in the refrigerator. Good luck on whatever you choose.
Filtering Ames tap water is like putting ketchup on a steak.
