Here’s the twist: the World Health Organization says water with TDS under 600 mg/L is generally safe. Most tap water in the US is under 300. You might be fighting a battle that doesn’t exist.
But if your water tastes like a penny or your tea leaves a rainbow film, go ahead—lower that TDS. Just don’t tell your relatives you’re “distilling.” They’ll think you’ve joined a cult. Say you’re “optimizing hydration thermodynamics.” That always shuts them up.
Now go drink some fantastically boring, pure water. You’ve earned it. Cheers, you magnificent mineral-slaying legend.
