Hi There Pavel - from my understanding and ex- perience the "distilled water" sold in gas stations is really deionized water and as you rightly state has nothing to do with steam distillation. Properly distilled water reads .000 on a PWT from Hanna. So take your tester with you before you purchase !!!!! A truly good steam distiller is made out of glass and has no plastic components and is therefore not cheap, all the counter top distillers I have investigated and own one are not going to give you a .000 reading the best I have achieved with mine using rain water is 1.3 and as you rightly say the quality of the water to begin with is of upmost importance !!!! The same formula which we all know used for computers is the same in this case - s in = s out !!!!! Regards to all Sandee
