If you want excellent water filtration, you have to spend some money. We use a Multipure under sink filter from Best Filters.com http://www.bestfilters.com/Multipure-Undercounter-Water-Filter-With-Arsenic-Reduction_p_572.html Best Filters offer a wide range of excellent filters at various price levels – worth looking at just to get ideas. In addition to the under sink drinking water filter, we use an activated carbon whole house filter (chloramine removal) and shower filters from Aquasana.

I spoke with reps of the Seagull home water purification systems {which of course they say is the best money can buy} but nowhere in their information material does it state theirs will remove Fluoride, everything else seemingly <g> but nowhere does it state Fluoride removal. My understanding is RO is the only way to remove it, and that I am led to believe is fairly cost prohibitive for the home.

Jane The filters that remove chlorine don’t necessarily remove chloramine. Chloramine can be removed for drinking water purposes by a carbon block or activated carbon filter that can be installed on a kitchen faucet. Also, both chlorine and chloramine can be removed for bathing purposes by dissolving Vitamin C in the bath water. One 1000 mg Vitamin C tablet will neutralize chloramine in an average bathtub. (18) There are no shower filters on the market that completely remove chloramine. (19) There are, however, whole house water filters that remove chlorine, chloramine, and other contaminants. Unfortunately, they’re quite expensive and thus may not be an option for many people. Vitamin C shower filters may be a good choice for those looking for an inexpensive way to reduce the chloramine (and chlorine) content of their showers. Vitamin C is an effective dechlorination agent, removing up to 99% of chlorine and chloramine, and vitamin C filters are much less expensive than the whole house filter featured above. The disadvantage to using them is they’re not as durable or effective as a whole house filtration system, and you would need a separate filter for each shower outlet in the house. http://chriskresser.com/is-your-daily-shower-making-you-sick
