I only use distilled water. I purchased a small distilling unit years ago and make a couple gallons at a time and stow it in the fridge. I live in a rural area and have a well. If you've never distilled your own water it can be a real eye opener. After distilling my first 2 gallons I had about a teaspoon of sludge left over in the reservoir that was dirt, dissolved solids, minerals, etc. It was sickening. After that I couldn't drink anything else but distilled water. And don't think because you have city water that you're immune. I did a couple gallons of my parents water and found about a tablespoon.....more than what I had in a well. Now I bathe, brush teeth & clean with tap water but for cooking (and soaping) I only use distilled.
