I would try a neon sign shop. They'll probably have both the tubing and the expertise. One reason to run the water through a charcoal filter first is to soak up any volatiles such as chlorine etc that gas out at or near the vaporization point of water and will just condense back in. Stainless shouldn't be a problem if you discard the first bit of water.
I've even collected some pretty nonconductive water off my tin roof after it rained for a while. It was actually better than Walmart distilled water.
