All the "good stuff" is takin out of distiled water. Only thinig it is good for is making coffee. I drink tap water most of the time we live in North America not some 3rd world country your crazy if you buy into the bottled water hype also probably a yuppy.nycgirl said:

"Yes, distilled water is “pure” in the sense that it does not have any harmful chemicals in it. Matter of fact it has NOTHING in it. And that is the problem. See, bettas need some essential minerals which they get from their water. And distilled water provides none of that. It is also way too soft and acidic and not suitable. It is also expensive."
""In an attempt to get 'pure' water, some people promote distillers and reverse osmosis (R.O.) filters. While these devices work well, they take everything out of the water. Unfortunately, this “pure” water is not healthy. It’s dead water. Fish cannot live in it. If ingested for long periods of time, it can leach out valuable body minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium. One can take mineral supplements to replace them; however, it’s not easy to replace the minerals in our body in the same form that we lost them in."

distilled water lacks minerals and can potentially wash out your electrolytes. its less of a risk in developed countries where we eat shitloads of minerals in our food, though.nycgirl said:

LOL, I'm far from a yuppie.
I get plenty of good stuff via the millions of supps I take and a healthy diet.
You obviously don't live in the D.C. area. I know people in D.C. that won't brush their teeth or fill up their pet water dishes with that water - major lead issues that will take years to resolve. Some of the D.C. suburbs (where I work is one) get their water from the same D.C. source. So, NO, not all water in North America is the same & great.
Usually when people argue that distilled is bad for you, they are talking about it washing out a lot of electrolytes in your body. That's why I asked for his explanation.
Yet another reason why Canada is the best part of North America.nycgirl said:
Distilled water does make better coffe IMO other than that I will keep drinking from the tap.
P.S. didn't mean to call you yuppie alone but most people that buy into bottled water are. Unless they live in DC

Oh, I know.
I always drank tap when I lived at home. NYC has the best tasting water in my opinion (please don't call me MTS). In fact, Aquafina and Dasani use it as one of their sources. I've noticed that since drinking Distilled, my body retains less water & sodium. A huge plus, imo.

There are NO clinical results supporting anything wrong with drinking distilled water.
If minerals in the water were that important, we'd have to chew the water.
As far as leaching electrolytes or minerals, no scientific evidence, just theory.
If your diet sucks I can see a decrease in some areas possibly but, over a long period of time.
All things considered, I trust my distilled water to be clean everything else, well...

Our water from the tap is all good here. cant see the sense in paying for water that is moer expensive than petrol. Though the bottles come in handy.
