distilled water

I'd like to use distilled water in a glass bottle for my humidifier. I can't find it anywhere! Any suggestions?
I live in Seattle.

I've only seen it sold in plastic jugs. I have a countertop distiller and make my own.

I have never used anything but reverse osmosis water which is made under my sink. After 2.5 years I couldn't tell the difference between my old water tank and my new one.

I use distilled water from 1 gallon plastic bottles. I have also never seen or heard of it coming in glass bottles. Perhaps if you are concerned with the distilled water coming in plastic bottles, then a counter top distiller machine like what ughwhatname uses might be the answer. You could then put it into your own glass containers or at least use Nalgene bottles (they are BPA free) instead of normal plastic.

It's mostly polycarbonate bottles that have BPA, not the milk jug type of bottles. Polycarbonate is very stiff, like audio or computer CDs and DVD's.

The health risk of plastic bottles is GREATLY exaggerated. Even if it isn't, you're exposed to food and water that has touched various kinds of plastic all the time. Breathing whatever fumes might be in your distilled water is not going to expose you to more than drinking or eating other food or drinks.

BPA is not considered to be a hazard except for infants or toddlers.

Actually, it's not really considered a hazard even then, but the FDA banned BPA containing bottles for infants and toddlers for public relations reasons, and just to be extra cautious for the kids.

Actually, I wouldn't say BPA is harmless, but it's probably harmless in the microscopic quantities that you're get from plastic bottles. A large enough dose can have some health effects.
