Different brands in different locations. You need to google a bit. Also depends what specifically do you need. There are filters that are both biological and chemical filters. Though I would assume if the sink water has clorum the biological load should be near to zero. In this case maybe just a chemical would do. There are some filters that are simple and only have a few layers of carbon and calcium or some with a ton of layers. Read about this maybe it helps.

It is just an example i would advice you research more on the subject before you buy anything and also ask around.

The most straightforward and sustainable solution is a water purifier. Filters need replacement cartridges. With a purifier, you would just include some carbon filter -- one can last for years. With heat and carbon you can enjoy the cleanest possible water. The only downside is that you would need to remineralize it if you're to drink it outright or use it in an appliance (i.e. coffee machine). It's distilled, after all.

But I wouldn't go for anything else.

I once read in a website that most of the minerals come from food that we eat.
I feel like that this whole drinking distilled water deprives your body of minerals is a marketing ploy played to repel people from buying over the top distillers which are not only inexpensive but are actually purer than RO water(Look it up, not sure).

Though also look up volatile organic compounds. To avoid VOC's, you could distill mineral water or a clean source of water. Times like these are when I wish everyone and anyone in this world at least had some scientific skills to experiment in their own lab and see the results for themselves.

Is VOC a issue in the first place ? Can it be anymore harmful than the toxic chlorine or fluoride that they put in the water ? It was said that kids who drank fluoride water in a single state had less cavities or oral problems. Concluding this, the authorities put fluorides in many other states. What they deliberately ignored was that the kids who were first experimented with fluorinated water were already having candies having fluoride. It might not be chocolate but something else but it was true that they were already consuming something having fluoride in it which completely skewed the results to the benefits of those who want to suppress us from any and all sides.

I would still choose distilled water over anything else. I do not have any facts or evidence to back up my intuition and hypothesis. One should proceed at their own healthy risk and mind. Also do look up reverend HPS Shannon's stance on over the top distiller in the forums. Haha, I am so lazy, saying look this up or that up.

here this one filters all kinds of shit including flouride. make sure you go to the flouride filter section specifically.

only downside is filter replacement. theres also ones for the shower

Also to add to my last post here, i think any water purified using reverse osmosis is flouride free if i am not mistaken.

minerals though...

They do. However, distilled water is not really available naturally, so we don't know how drinking it would affect a population long-term. What I can attest is that it does have some detrimental effects if you drink it exclusively. Water molecules don't capture minerals exclusively. They can mess with other things, such as your gut lining.

That's why I wouldn't recommend drinking it regularly. If it's used to cook, or prepare drinks, I'd say it's fine, simply because it's 'cleaning' property is diminished.

Even if distilled water is fine to drink, to me it tastes completely disgusting, and adding salt to it makes it even more disgusting, I actually drank distilled water that I remineralized with salt for 1 whole year, but then I started drinking tap water again and I just couldn't get back into that distilled water thing, the taste makes me wanna puke.

I've been in the mountains lately, and the natural water there is something I'd love to drink everyday, it's just fantastic.
