    I use a water distiller. Filter the distilled water through a activated charcoal filter. You want almost laboratory grade pure water! Mine tests out a 7 parts per million disolved solids. The crap it takes out the water is unbelievable.

    I use the Big Berkey with the arsenic/fluoride filters. Use it for drinking, dog water, cooking. I like it but the wife thinks it tastes metallic. I don't notice any taste at all but she grew up drinking Houston water. The only thing is the water is room temp, unless I pour it into another container in the fridge.

    some dissolved solids are healthy for you in the form of minerals and metals. Filters after the distillation are useless unless the distillation has flaws.

    Will disagree with this sentence. Too pure a water and you could end up with hyponatremia , a form of water intoxication. A good pass through a charcoal filter will work. Too much filtration and you start having problems. You want to stay hydrated, however the purer water has potential to flush electrolytes from your system, doing more harm than good. YMMV. Like alcohol everyone's tolerance level varies.
