Alright, thanks MH. I'll look into it.

Distilling water is no more than vaporizing it (+heat) and then
allowing it to cool back into water. Hence, it is exactly the
same as a coffee maker.
the problem I see with this is that many things have a lower boiling point and vaporization point than water. Like chlorine and fluoride. Therefore you would not be getting rid of these substances as they would vaporize prior to water. Further, the fact that the water container gets mucky (in a coffee maker) from lime etc, would indicate to me that at least some substances travel with the water to the condensation collector roof of either your coffee maker or distiller...and ultimately down to your "clean" water 'chamber'.
Reverse osmosis is just pure h2o. Do you feel that this will cause the cells to go out of balance due to the nature of osmosis...the process by which cells establish balance?
(Pure H20) lllll-cell wall-llllll (Stuff in cell, diluted)
Because the water is so pure it "pulls" out much needed vitamins and minerals from the inside of the cell to establish osmotic balance. Or... is there another reason you don't like reverse osmosis purified water? Essentially striping the cell of nutrition. And how do you feel about the potential detoxification application of pure reverse osmosis h2o? Specifically, if used in short durations, like 3-5 days on (along with mega doses of vitamins) and 2 weeks off, would it not offer some detoxification benefit? I haven’t read any books on the matter, but since you did maybe you can save me a little time.
What exactly don't you like about carbon filters? They claim to remove 99% of metals, etc. They don't remove fluoride or chlorine as they are too small but then I don't think distilling does either due to the relatively high vaporization temperature of water...above 100deg C. If you would slow vaporize it say at room temperature, that would be fine but it would take weeks to get one cup of clean water.
FURTHER ELABORATION
Both chlorine and fluoride are extremely volatile not to mention EXTREMELY
corrosive elements. Chlorine corrodes all metals and most piping materials and dish ware well bellow the distillation temperatures required to distill water, with the exception of titanium and borosilicate glass. If we are talking about liquid chlorine as we are, then even titanium corrodes at significantly lower temperatures
then what you need to distill water.
Here you can confirm that chlorine reacts dangerously with all metals
except titanium well under the boiling point of water.

Therefore in the process of distilling you are making a toxic stew of
chemicals.
If you were to carbon filter the water prior to distilling, that would be much better, put the fact that you are drinking highly volatile chemicals like cholrine and fluoride would still be an issue in my mind.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Would carbon filtering and then boiling the carbon filtered water outside in the open , like a back yard, in a large pot (to make the fluoride and chorine escape and leave the h20 behind), be a much superior form of water purification, not to mention the cheapest?
