I took it a step further, I had been using a large (roughly 1L in size) sink-attaching filter (think of a standing filter with its on spigot that attaches to your sink with a bypass/selector knob). $75 on amazon so not bad.

While that was a great improvement over tap I really worried about all the stuff it couldn't get, so I purchased a home distiller. I fill the distiller with filtered water for maintenance reasons (way less effort to clean out of the distiller), and it can make a gallon in about 3 hours. I add 1/4 tea spoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and a pinch of pink salt for minerals to each gallon and shake well. I dump each gallon into a borosilicate glass container w/304 stainless dispenser nozzle in the fridge that holds 3 gallons.

It is by far the best tasting water I have ever had, no bottled water even comes close. You can tweak the baking soda and added salt to your personal taste, total cost around $350
