Why You Should Drink Distilled Water?
The simple answer is that it is one of the purest forms of water you will ever be able to drink.
This is why it is the water filtration of choice in places like factories, hospitals and big industrial plants.
The only issue that you might have is that it has a “flat taste” since everything (including healthy minerals and nutrients) have been removed from the water.
Other than that, it is perfectly safe to drink. In fact there are some sources that claim drinking distilled water will help your body detox.
Below gives you an idea of how powerful water distillation can be when filtering contaminants from your water.

Distilled Water Brands, Which Is The Best?
Pure Water Mini-Classic CT has the best customer reviews and very easy to use.
However, the good news you can count on ALL of these brands to provide you with water that is cleaner and purer than tap water.
If you are in a foreign country, these are brands that you can buy and know that you can drink safely.
As different and as complicated as these companies sound, water is still water at the end of the day.
Any product that makes sure that you’re drinking the cleanest purest version of water can only be a good thing.
My personal favorite device for personal filtration is the AquaTru. Yes yes I know it’s not technically distilled water because it uses multiple filtration methods.
By that I mean it is based on reverse osmosis but with smaller more precise filters. The machine is NSF 58 & 372 certified and has its own smart TDS monitoring panel.
TDS stands for total dissolved solids and tap water is usually full of this nasty stuff.
It comes with a smart faucet, tankless design and has a “Worry-Free Guarantee”.

What about radiation water using distiller ?
Hi Karen
Technically the answer should be “yes” since distillation removes EVERYTHING from water. In response to your question, I’ve added an extra section at the top of this article with the title “Why You Should Drink Distilled Water?” which has a table that you might find helpful.
However, to be on the safe side please contact the manufacturer of your water distiller directly and ask them specifically about the type of radiation you are concerned about so that they can verify that you are 100% safe to drink it after distillation using their product.
Best wishes,
Luke
