Your two statements dont go well together. I am worried you may be misunderstanding something.
Did you mean boil or distil?
If by boiling you think to remove flouride, then I am sorry to say you are probably not going to like this. Boiling water is great for killing water-bourne pathogens, but does nothing to remove impurities like flouride, in fact to some degree, you are actually increasing the concentration!
If you really meant distil, then well done. That is the only way to remove all of the flouride (and other chemical/mineral) impurities. The drawback is massive energy requirements.
Our distiller runs for 4hrs to produce 4ltrs of water, and that costs 2.8kwh of electricity (it is 700w when running).
