Standard distilled water is the workhorse of clarity. You boil water, catch the steam, and condense it—leaving behind minerals, chemicals, and pretty much everything else. It’s the clean slate of the water world.
Why do you care? Well, this is the stuff that makes your coffee taste crisp, your iron last forever, and your car battery happy. It’s the quiet, dependable friend who never complains.
But here’s the kicker: some “distilled” water goes through a simple one-step boil. That’s great, but it might still carry a whisper of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) if the source water wasn’t perfect. Don’t panic—it’s still super pure for 99% of your needs.
