Just exactly what note do you mean?? The F on the bottom space of the treble clef is the lowest F on the saxophone.

Low F. one thing to try is to drop your jaw. to hit lower notes on the sax, you need to drop your jaw. to me(since i played clarinet) i feel like i'm just touching the reed for the lower notes. if thats not it, check your horn. you could have: a pad missing, screw not tight, springs loose, or worse, a key is bent! if these check out and you still have no idea whats wrong, change your reed. If it still doesn't work, take it to a music teacher(usually cause they're free) or to a music shop to get it checked. hope this helps

Can you get all the notes below low F (E, Eb, D, C#, C, B and B) or do you mean you can't get F or any note lower than it?
