Hi Rowena, I use pure roof and well water tp make EIS with a current controlled device.
The rainwater off the roof is stored in a concrete reservoir; when we run out of rain water we pump from a borehole into the same reservoir. We live in a village which has piped, "treated" water, but we have locked that supply closed because it makes us ill and ruins the veggies and I would not use that to make EIS; its unhealthy to start with. I live in a fairly remote village in the mountains in South Africa. That is the way I make EIS for myself even when I lived in the big city. The process is very much quicker than with distilled water. There is no need to store the product because it literally takes a few minutes to make. If you are going to sell the stuff then it would be a good idea to use good quality distilled water for its keeping quality.
