No, it would be unchanged.  When you start with tap water you have
minerals, such as calcium, potassium and so forth, and the other ions such
as chlorine, fluorine, carbonate.  The ionizer separates these to produce
an alkaline stream with the minerals such as calcium and potassium
hydroxide, and an acid stream that contains the chlorine, fluorine, and
carbon dioxide.  If you start with distilled water, there is nothing to
separate and send to the two streams, both would still be distilled water.
