I am looking to run water lines directly to my room to fill up my fish tanks after water changes. Now when I go to home depot or lowes the water filters they have for drinking only reduce the tase and smell of chlorine. Would it not be better to have it removed all together? Or is this the right thing. I just want safe water for my fish, without letting buckets sit for 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate.

If you need filtered water, an RO or RO/DI unit designed for fishkeeping or lab usage and a storage vessel (e.g. rubbermaid brute) are going to be much, much better and cheaper in the long run. If the tap water is quality enough for you & your fish (sans chlorine), dosing the new water immediately with seachem prime or a similar conditioner should be sufficient. The water filters you find at home improvement stores are usually intended for drinking water, and will get very expensive with media changes if you use the water quantity one normally needs for aquariums.
