^^ water is never pure, there will always be mollecules of other substances in it, even bottled water has minerals and a whole other mess of stuff in it.

 

Not if it's bottled distilled water.  That's about as pure as you'd get.

There is still other particles of minerals in that too, it makes it healthier so taking them out would be stupid.

 

Do you even know what distilled means?  Distillation of water involves boiling the water, then taking the steam and condensing it in a seperate container.  All minerals will be left back in the original container as residue.  Distilled water is not meant for drinking precisely because it has no minerals.  It is meant to be used when highly purified water is necessary for uses like decontamination.  If you drink too much distilled water, you die.

From Wiki - "Distillation Gathering water through the use of a bag is a much employed survival technique Gathering water through the use of a pit is another much employed survival technique Distilled water has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean cup, leaving nearly all of the solid contaminants behind. Distillation produces very pure water but also leaves behind a leftover white or yellowish mineral scale, which requires that the distillation apparatus be frequently cleaned." notice the use of "virtualy"
