Where do I get filtered water?

You can easily filter water at home by using a water filter pitcher. I’ve been using this Brita water filter pitcher for years. It fits well in your refrigerator and the filters can be found at most retailers.

What’s the difference between filtered water and distilled water?

Filtered water has gone through a basic filtration process eliminating impurities and contaminates. It retains essential minerals and electrolytes and has some taste from remaining minerals. Filtered water is ideal for drinking and consuming.

Distilled water is boiled until steam is created, then condensed and captured in a container. This water is not ideal for drinking as the boiling process takes out all minerals, salt and electrolytes and leaves an undesirable taste. Distilled water, although safe to drink, is not intended for drinking. It’s primary purpose is for use in appliances and machinery.
