I have picked up on what you have said about the taste of the water
Mike. I buy my distilled water and it is supposed to be double
distilled by Polar distillers. When I put the TDS meter in it, it reads
000 so I am presuming that it is very pure. However, the taste is
appalling! It tastes really stale and when I drank some, I had to drink
tap water to take away the taste! It also made me feel thirsty. dee

Those of you who've been making your own distilled water for a while

Now that I've been able to make a few gallons of my own "distilled"
water, I'm less than thrilled with the taste of it. If I didn't know
any better I'd say it tastes a bit like plastic, though my senses of
taste and smell are marginal at the moment. In any case, it definitely
has a stale or chemical kind of taste to it.
The distillate path consists entirely of the glass lid and glass jar.
Could the glass be leaching something?
I let the water come to a rolling boil before putting the lid on, so
I'd assume any volatiles are boiling off. Is that adequate? Or, are
there things in the tap water that are close enough to the boiling
point of water that they're getting carried through the distillation
process?
I suppose I should filter the tap water before distilling, right?
That and maybe collecting rainwater? <grin>
Any advice? Thanks!
