I will react to distilled water that is heated in any metal container or sits in it too long, unless something is mixed in. A few grains of sea salt is enough to stop this from happening.
Pure distilled water is fairly corrosive to metals. A friend who used to work in process engineering at one of the biggest circuit board assembly companies told me that distilled water is sometimes used to wash the boards after assembly but it is less desirable than other (toxic) solvents because of its corrosive nature. I don't have problems if the distilled water is stored in glass or certain hard plastics. Anything that has a silicon gasket causes me problems, even if it isn't immersed in the water. However this only applies to storing water after distillation, not during/before because my distiller does have a silicon gasket in the chamber, and I don't react to it.
