				<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Updated on 2026-09-11&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I became concerned about the water I drank a few years ago after reading about &#xA;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrdc.org/stories/whats-your-drinking-water&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;some of the things&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&#xA; that cannot or are not removed from tap water; e.g. excreted pharmaceutical medicines, hormone disrupting chemicals, etc. I had been buying and drinking bottled spring water, but I got to thinking that maybe even spring water might have contaminants in it. Therefore, I decided to start drinking &#xA;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;distilled water&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&#xA;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was familiar with distilled water since I have used it in the past for steam irons and &#xA;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.howtohome.com/ultrasonic-humidifier/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;ultrasonic humidifiers&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&#xA;. Steam irons usually require distilled water because the minerals in tap water can result in mineral buildup in the steam vents. Using distilled water in ultrasonic humidifiers results in easier cleaning and lower operating costs since you don&amp;rsquo;t have to buy a filter that some models offer to remove the minerals and chlorine in tap water. I&amp;rsquo;ve also used distilled water for automotive applications such as topping off lead acid batteries and diluting anti-freeze for engine coolant.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
