BB > Any health impacts of doing without humidification for a night because you don't have distilled water available _right now_ (for whatever reason), are going to be more significant than using potable water in the humdifier!
That's a poor response, logically. You're talking about something that may or may not occur (running out of distilled water). But that's not the point!
This issue shouldn't be determined by something that -- occasionally -- may or may not happen. I think that the rest of us are talking about what should be done on a regular basis.
Hell, yes. If you run out of d.w. use tap water that night. Then go to the store the next day! And wash your gear as soon as it's convenient.
pd > The collection pot or packaging process could have made the water unsafe to consume.
You're really grasping at straws here. In third world countries ... maybe. Or maybe not.
> Come on, the label actually states it is _not clean enough_ to drink.
That is not _exactly_ what the OP said.
Here's how it works. Someone writes a draft label and, since they're in a corporation, submits it for legal review before selling the product. Too many lawyers feel that they have to change something or else if they don't, the corporation would start to believe that the lawyers aren't needed. So they feel compelled to change _something_. It's like they're "earning their pay." This is the way the corporate world works. I've seen this happen many times.
In the lawyers defense, if there was ever a product liabilty case, the CEO would fire them all if there wasn't an adequate disclaimer on the product. It's all about CYA!
