Chlorine and chloramine simply by letting it stand open to the air or heating it up in a glass or stainless pot. (do not use water that has gone through a water heater, it picks up lots of other metals when hot) .
For fluoride you need a filter. The best kind is reverse osmosis. Distillation will work very well but is hard to do. Boiling just concentrates it. If you drink nothing but distilled water you will have medical problems from lack of proper minerals.
I see nothing wrong with having chlorine keeping my water germ free until it hits my filter and my filter does not take out fluoride which I think is healthy in the doses we get from treated water, but to each his own.

I am no scientist, but when I had a fish tank a few years back I tested my water for hardness and PH. I found it to be off the charts, absolutely horrid. Then, I left a gallon jug of the same water out for 24 hours and tested it. Amazingly, it was almost perfect for both tests. My conclusion is that a lot of chemical dissipates in time if the water is exposed to air and sunlight.

Chlorine can be removed by placing water in sunlight for about 4 hours, as it is unstable.
Chloroamine can be removed by treating the water with chlorine, then removing the chlorine as above!
Fluoride can be removed by by filtration.
Otherwise, remove all 3 by distilling your drinking water

It's cheaper to find a "water store" that processes its own water. They have the equipment to remove halogens and their organic ilk out of tap water, for typically thirty to fifty cents a gallon. As I use less than a gallon of water a day for drinking and cooking, it costs me less than ten dollars a month for guaranteed pure drinking water.

You really shouldn't get rid of the fluoride. Trust me. Fluoride is more beneficial than you realize.
I'd recommend a Brita water filter or pitcher. I prefer the pitcher because you have cold, clean water all the time.

I think you might want to keep the flouride for your teeth. At any rate, get a Britta Water filter that attached to your sink spicket. They are kind of high priced, but all you have to do after that is replace the filter when it is dirty. It makes the water taste so good.
