You did check it with a good meter, right?
Could be..the very pure water is 'pulling' flavors the wrong way through
the taste buds...and you are tasting you?
Aerate it [wait a few days] and see if it changes.
Yes, really should charcoal filter it first

Interesting idea, Ken...
As for the taste of distilled water, I've been drinking the stuff from
the store, brought home in 2 1/2 gallon jugs, for a number of years. It
tastes much better than this, and actually quite good. It is steam
distilled and ozonated.
I wonder if I'm going to have to
For shame, Mike.
You're trying to make pure without ANY instumentation?
Go get your head on straight, first.
Then change the batteries...

I have picked up on what you have said about the taste of the water
Mike. I buy my distilled water and it is supposed to be double
distilled by Polar distillers. When I put the TDS meter in it, it reads
000 so I am presuming that it is very pure. However, the taste is
appalling! It tastes
okey, dokey... I'll throw in a monkey wrench (or not since this is totally
unfamiliar territory for me)... wink
Several weeks ago I was researching water filters/processes to remove fluoride
from tap water. Somewhere in all this research (don't ask for links, please,
as it was a hit/miss
I filter my tapwater and then double distil it - and yes it tastes yeuch!. I
use it for making CS but there's no way I'd drink it apart from that. For
drinking I simply filter the water.

Hi Mike, some things occur to me; not all the organics are volatile at
boiling or below; as an example of this consider that some purification
processes use steam distillation to carry over oils in a water bath.
Further the stainless may leach something into the boiling water,
something it's pores

Now that I've been able to make a few gallons of my own distilled water,
I'm less than thrilled with the taste of it. If I didn't know any better I'd

chemical kind of taste to it. . . . Could the glass be leaching
Mike;
I have a fairly expensive distiller and I find I have to draw off the tap
water in pails and let sit for at least 18 to 24 hours to let the chlorine
in it dissipate.Then I double distill it for CS/EIS,if I don't sometimes it
does taste different.
Also there is a lot of sediment that
Every batch of distilled water I have ever purchased has this taste,
and I had assumed it was from the plastic containers. Your letter
suggests it may not be.
