That is not my understanding at all. My understanding is that you boil the water to remove the dissolved gases, such as carbon dioxide, which will make the water acid and too conductive, to purify it.
After boiling it, you let it cool back to room temperature before using it. Otherwise one would just speak of heating the water, not boiling it. Are we talking about heating the water and using hot water, or boiling the water to remove dissolved gases then letting it cool down before using it? The first should be a no-no, and the second one makes a lot of sense, expecially if one is getting variable results from different bottles of distilled water.
