303RPB, distilled water is absolutely potable, there are no minerals in that's the entire point.... it's just pure H2O.

LazyLabradoodle29407, - At some point in history, rainwater was probably the purest "natural" water (well water & spring water have trace mineral elements). However, pollutants in the atmosphere have fouled rainwater.

Great to know how to distill water in case of a catastrophe, rivers, streams and such is not potable, so knowing how to distill water will help you stay alive.

LazyLabradoodle29407, in the context of this question, purest refers to its chemical composition rather than any subjective qualities or value.

LazyLabradoodle29407, rainwater picks up pollutants on the way down.

LazyLabradoodle29407,
Rainwater is a distilled water as the sea/lake water evaporates and the water then condenses as clouds and that is the source of the rain

The best water I've ever tasted came from a spring near Shasta Mtn. , CA. It feeds the Sacramento river.

Montana Lady, it is potable and lacking in minerals, some of which mainly come thru water. So, it is potable but not healthy. In desalination plants, after salts are removed from sea water, they need to add them back in as soft water is no good for sustaining metabolism.

Rats I got this wrong! I was going to choose distilled water but I thought it was a trick question.

Distilled water is highly reactive and will chelate minerals out of your body. Don't drink it.

Missy K, Just boiling it will make it safe!

Also, even destilled water is not a perfectly pure water because during a contact with air gases like carbon dioxide get disolved in it very quickly turning it into a weak acid and slightly raising its pH to 4-5.

Drinking destilled water over certain time would kill a person because it would change the osmotic pressure in our cells and they would burst leading to swellings of brain and spine.
