Do home water purifiers take out fluorine?

What is considered the " best " home water purifying system?

Hi, Gang,

I have a distiller which I use for all of my drinking and cooking water. I

think it is the most superior way to produce pure drinking water. I also

have an Amway solid carbon block water filter which I run the water I put

into the distiller through first. The Amway filter is very good. The

distiller mimics the way water is purified in nature. Have you ever

considered that there is no such thing as new water being made??? The water

you are now using has been here since the earth was created. It is merely

recycled over and over again by nature. The distiller I have is a large

capacity stainless steel which can produce 5 gallons of pure water in a 20

hour period. I also have a second table top model which will produce one

gallon in about 10 hours. This was bought at Sears, and I am very happy with

it also. I do not recall the price, but it was reasonable compared to the

large capacity distiller.

I live in Eastern Pennsylvania, and three miles away is an EPA super cleanup

site, the NJ Zinc Corporation, in Palmerton, PA. After smelting and refining

of zinc for many decades, the byproducts being lead and cadmium, the Blue

Mountain and the Lehigh River are both disaster areas. The mountain is

totally defoliated, and the Lehigh River will not support fish for very

long. The ground water is supposedly safe to drink, according to the

municipal water authority, but after seeing the local populace with many

cases of retardation and birth defects and cancer, I will not drink the local

water.

The only drawback to drinking distilled water is that it is free of any

minerals, so I supplement my drinking water with liquid minerals.
