Water Filter

Carbon filter: Activated carbon is found in pour-through water filtration pitchers and in many undersink filtration systems. Carbon filters work by trapping contaminants in the pores of the positively charged, highly absorbent filter.
Reverse osmosis: A reverse osmosis system reverses the natural flow of water, passing the water through a semipermeable membrane. Be aware that this method does waste water.
Distillation: Distillers heat water to the boiling point, then collect the steam as it condenses, leaving contaminants behind. Some contaminants that can convert to gas form will still remain in the water after distillation — you can combine a distiller with a carbon filter for better results.

NSF International, an independent, accredited organization that helps set standards for water safety and tests and certifies systems, has a comprehensive chart that specifies the type of filter you'll need to remove the contaminants in your water.

You can get a copy of your area's annual water quality report from your water utility.
