Berkey Filters have worked well for my family. Removed 99.9% of iron when we were having really bad hard water issues at our old house, and at the house we lived in before that one we had city water and who knows what's in that so we filtered it too. He don't have a place to set it up at our current home otherwise we would. But small city municipal water doesn't have all the bad stuff big city water does. Last time a water guy was here he tested the filter just to see and said that it reduces nearly every contaminant to undetectable levels (except trace minerals).
I couldn't find a made in USA one under $500 so I bought a stainless Xhina one for $80. You also need citric acid to keep cleaning after each use, but cost at 15c /kWh everything still costs half of buying distilled gallons for 88c. Also being reliant on grid water only seems like a bad plan.
Pur water filters found at thrifts @ 10 cents on the dollar, stocked up enough to last a couple years (each filter lasts 90 to 100 days) Filtered water in 89 ounce bottles and 1 gallon bottles.. stored away from sunlight.
Do you have a good one you recommend?

FYI, That is a filter, not a distiller...
Still a damned good one, but a distiller heats the water and the steam condenses into a collector.
