Fluoride, everything else seemingly <g> but nowhere does it state
Fluoride removal.
My understanding is RO is the only way to remove it, and that I am led
to believe is fairly cost prohibitive for the home.

What about the Fluoride removal, for the town dwellers?

The filters that remove chlorine don’t necessarily remove
chloramine.
Chloramine can be removed for drinking water purposes by a carbon
block or activated carbon filter that can be installed on a
kitchen faucet. Also, both chlorine and chloramine can be removed
for bathing purposes by dissolving Vitamin C in the bath water.
One 1000 mg Vitamin C tablet will neutralize chloramine in an
average bathtub. (18

There are no shower filters on the market that /completely/ remove
chloramine. (19
<http://www.chloramine.org/chloraminefacts.htm#filtration>) There
are, however, whole house water filters
<http://www.radiantlifecatalog.com/product/WHOLE-HOUSE-FILTRATION/> that
remove chlorine, chloramine, and other contaminants.
Unfortunately, they’re quite expensive and thus may not be an
option for many people.
Vitamin C shower filters
<http://www.reactual.com/home-and-garden/toiletries/shower-filters-2011.html>
may
be a good choice for those looking for an inexpensive way to
reduce the chloramine (and chlorine) content of their showers.
Vitamin C is an effective dechlorination agent, removing up to 99%
of chlorine and chloramine, and vitamin C filters are much less
expensive than the whole house filter featured above. The
disadvantage to using them is they’re not as durable or effective
as a whole house filtration system, and you would need a separate
filter for each shower outlet in the house.
