Cam - I know there's an old thread on purification, but it went to hell. This one is focused on today's reality..and the upcoming shortages, etc.
Purification/distillation systems are expensive and require power to operate. Filtration systems, like Berkey etc, are cumbersome and not cheap. Bottled water is great; and eventually you'll run out.
Our solution: Lifestraw pitcher. Link below.
We've used it for over 2 years, no complaints. While still in Katy, after knowing it would serve us well, we bought a second pitcher for backup, and 3 years worth of filters. Either things will be normal by then, or it won't matter anymore, lol.
Total investment at the time, <$250
Maybe more now.
We still drink bottled water, but it's nice to have this critical backup on hand...without having to find a way to boil water...especially when we were without power, living in the city.
