You shower in this water. You breath in many more water droplets doing that then you would using a cpap humidifier.miketaylor wrote: Your very wrong about that. Most tap water contains handfuls of chemicals they used to treat the water (fluoride, chlorine & much more). It also has minerals and other things. The EPA only regulates certain chemicals in our water. Everything else is not accounted for! You don't want to be inhaling these chemicals all night. You MUST use distilled water.
People actually drink that crap! Anything coming out of a faucet is NOT good for you. It upsets homeostatic mechanisms and contains many endocrine-disrupting compounds.
Distilled water removes toxins from your body and has a ppm of 0. Its pure. Its ph is 7.
This information was found from reputable sources.
So you prefer to drink untreated water with all the nasty germs that could kill you in a week? You actually need many of the minerals found in regular water. If you are paranoid about chlorine all you have to do is let the water sit for an hour before using it in your humidifier or drinking it.
That distilled water goes into your stomach which contains hydrochloric acid (which will burn holes in your lab coat if you spill it) in order to break down food, the ph of the water is irrelevant.
