Preheating the water should also drive off some of the volatiles that
would make it through a distiller.
Good going !

DISTILLING tap water.
So far as I have tested with my PWT meter, no filter is equal to
distilling. My PWT doesn't read much different between plain tap water and
filtered water. I did get better distilled water when I started from cold
filtered tap water (a good faucet filter, not a Brita) than when I started
from hot unfiltered tap water. The point of boiling before distilling is
that preheating the water before putting it into the still shortens the
distilling time somewhat. With my distiller though, it heated the water so
fast that I didn't feel the extra work was worth it as it didn't produce a
significant reduction in run time of the still.

No way would I be consuming tap water! City tap at least. I have a well
which I filter through a Berkley. I have wondered if I can use this
instead of store bought distilled?

I am surprised at you, Dee, using tap water from all the contaminants
I've read about recently being in tap water (pharmaceutical drug residue,
fluoride, chlorine, chromium, lead, and about 140 other contaminants).
