I just use a home water distiller don’t ever have to worry about the source or plastic leaching from containers. Just add electrolytes in to taste after and you’re good to go. You could source Mon water if you wanted.

Need to do more research on Distillers for sure. Never even thought about it.

Are you talking about a reverse osmosis system?

No a water distiller boils the water and condenses it leaving basically everything behind besides the distiller.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is it safe to drink a lot of distilled water? I heard that you can drink “too much” of it, not sure what that means lol

So If you distill your own water or buy certain types of distilled water like just “steam distilled” the end product is very pure water. (Some brands add stuff back in after the process usually branded as re-mineralized) So it has no minerals in it. Drinking large quantities of pure distilled water without adding some sort of electrolytes back will in theory pull those healthy minerals out of your body. Think of it as a magnet for all the stuff that got pulled out of it when it was distilled.
It’s not unsafe per say you just need to be aware of it and if you choose to do it yourself or buy it without minerals I would recommend buying some sort of electrolytes to add to it. I personally use LMNT flavored salt packets most days, or Keto Chow (not flavored) off Amazon

That is simply silly. Besides the many people like myself that have a still, there are countless others that buy jugs of distilled to drink because that don't trust the source of "spring" water.
