*This is going to sound like a shill advertisement, but I honestly think they're amazing.
I highly recommend getting a Berkey water filter. They're gravity fed, remove almost everything bad, including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, bacteria, viruses, parasites, chlorines, pesticides, heavy metals, etc. (but retain the beneficial minerals), they're third party tested, the black filters last for years, and you can purchase PF-2 filters which remove fluoride, and are amazing in a SHTF scenario. They're some of the best filters on the market outside of reverse osmosis (which are a lot more expensive).
I use a Royal Berkey (3.25 gal), and usually have to fill it up twice a week. A set of black filters lasts 6000 gallons, which means I can use them for about 15-17 years. I only have to take them out once a year, scrub them, and put them back in. The PF-2 filters last about 2 years for me.
While the initial investment is expensive, it's very cheap in the long run. I never used to be able to taste the difference in water, until I got a Berkey. They can even filter pond, stream, and lake water in a SHTF scenario, with the only caveat being that the black filters need to be scrubbed more often.
