For everyday drinking, go with purified. It’s clean, it’s cheap, and it doesn’t make your tea taste like a chemistry set. Want to feel fancy? Get a filtered pitcher for your fridge—instant purified water, plus you can brag about being eco-friendly.
For special missions, use distilled. Fill your humidifier with it, and you’ll never see white dust again. Use it to top off a car battery (if you still own a car with a battery cap, you legend). And absolutely use it for baby formula—doctors recommend it because it’s free of any hidden nasties.
