Distillation is the old-school method: boil water, catch the steam, let it condense back into liquid. Sounds like a magic trick, right? It is—because it removes almost everything, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and even salt. You could distill ocean water and drink it (don’t try that at home, but you get the idea).
The downside? It’s crazy slow—like, watching-paint-dry slow. It also uses a ton of energy, and like RO, it removes healthy minerals. The result? Water so pure it tastes… boring. Some say it’s like drinking nothingness. Not exactly a party in your mouth.
For emergency preparedness or absolutely pristine water? Distillation is a champ. For daily hydration? It’s a bit of a drama queen.
