Mr.Anderson said:I use a pur filter. I also have a britta. They are relatively inexpensive. They both seem to work well getting rid of chlorine smell and taste. They claim to get rid of fluoride as well. I don't know about alkalization.
I am looking at getting alkalized water, with no impurities .... I have checked out Berkey Filters, and would harvest rainwater as it will not contain Fluoride / Chlorine in them.

I think this is your best bet.
The Pur & Brita will remove copper, mercury, cadmium & chlorine but not Fluoride.

I am currently looking for one too and my best finding so far is the water system Chanson. Does alkaline, very alkaline water, acid water (skin, laundry and general cleaning). Seems to be the best product for your money.

It is the ONLY IONIZER Brand that DR Robert O Young And Dr Jonathan E. Dashiff M.D. Prefers.
The best known authorities in the USA such as Dr. Robert Young (author of The pH Miracle), Dr. Theodore Baroody (author of Alkalize or Die), and Sang Whang (author of Reverse Aging) all recommend and sell Jupiter Science or LIFE water ionizers because they want to give their customers high quality Kangen* or alkaline water ionizers at an honest price. Other well know alkaline authorities that endorse and use Jupiter Science water ionizes include Daniel Reed (author of The Tao of Detox), Harald Tietze (author of Youthing) and Ian Hamilton (author of The Untold Truth...)

I am using a filtering system that might not fully get the best from both worlds but I think it is going in the right direction. I had been using the Grander technology for some time to activate water but also wanted a solution that removed other additives. At the same time I didn’t want the water to be completely devoid of minerals, etc. I found a five stage filtering system that can be found www.wellnessfilter.com.au/HowitWorks/VolcanicMinerals/tabid/81/Default.aspx.
The following information is taken from their website and brochure.
The water is taken from the cold water supply line and filter the water in the following stages:
• Primary sediment filter: removes sediment, dirt, rust, Girdia, Cryptosporidium. Micron rating 5-1 µ
• Primary carbon filter: removes chlorine, chloramines, VOC’s, lead, copper, taste, odour. Micron rating: 1 µ
• Hollow fibre ultra filter: removes > 99.99% e-coli, bacteria, cysts, viruses, colloidal solids. Micron rating: 0.2 µ
• Living water energizer: remineralize the water by using a combination of volcanic minerals. Ionizes the water by using FIR emitting minerals. Activates the water by an activation process that restructures hydrogen bonds, making the water wetter and improving its ability hydrate cells more effectively
• Second carbon polishing filter: removes chlorine, chloramines, VOC’s, lead, copper, taste, odour. Micron rating: N/A
In addition there is an optional Alkaline Booster filter that one can use to raise the pH level of the water by 1.5 to 2.5 points using calcium and magnesium.
According to the site a controlled study has been cone in the US: "The Wellness Filter has shown us that all water is not the same. We have seen significant increases in the growth and health of plants irrigated in Wellness Filter water. The plants are also showing an amazing resistance to fungus - something that is beyond our current understanding." University of Idaho - USA
I have been using the filter with the Alkaline Booster for about a year now and I find it much tastier, wetter, smoother, softer and thirst quenching that regular tap water. I used to find it very difficult to drink more than a couple of mouthfuls of water at a time but now find myself drinking a large half-liter glass several times a day. I live in Copenhagen where the quality of the water is good but it the water is high in calcium. The filter removes some but not all of the calcium. The calcium deposits in the water boiler are now fewer but they have also changed from a white/yellowish color to a white/bluish color.

The Environmental Working Group just released a report on December 20, 2010 that Hexavalent Chromium or Chromium-6 has been found in 31 of 35 U.S. cities. The highest levels were detected in Norman, OK; Honolulu, HI; and Riverside, CA. Awareness of the presence of Chromium-6 was brought to the spotlight through the feature film "Erin Brockovich" starring Julia Roberts.
The best way to remove Chromium-6 from tap water at home is with a reverse osmosis system or a water distiller. There is no legal limit for Chromium-6 in either tap water or bottled water, so ensure your safety by utilizing a water distiller starting as low as $289.00.

The problem with distilled water is that it will leach minerals from your body. Not good for regular consumption.What I have in mind are automatic water distillers, one
that can be installed between the outside water intake
and that which enters into the home, so that all water
for consumption and use are distilled.
