I'm a water nerd.

For the most part, flourode, chlorine and TTHMs are the main concern for muni water.

These can be mitigated simply by putting drinking water in a pitcher. These volatiles will evaporate out in an hour or less.

For cooking, nearly any in-line activated charcoal filter will work but REPLACE every 3 mos.

RO is overkill unless you have really bad minerals or brackish water.

Berkeys are... Expensive. But good. Kangen is super expensive but ok- they filter out nutrients... Then replace them with their own nutrients$ for taste.

I don’t think Fluoride evaporates. At least in the research I did several years ago, that was the conclusion I came to.

I have Muni water run through RO for drinking only. It is a bit of overkill but not too expensive (like $200 a year to replace filters on schedule). Just make sure to add minerals back to water either with a mineral filter or a few drops in glasses/pitchers, as they are completely removed via filtration.

It is also great for any application where you are worried about scale build up like hot water heater so whole house is sometimes a good option.
