I use distilled water in my Cpap machine. I use it to wash my cars., Distilled water just takes the minerals out It doesn't change the composition of water. Its not the same process as de-ionized water where they remove a ion which doesn't sound like nothing. What it does is make the water try to regain that ion which makes it clean. They don't use any soap with de-ionized water. I wouldn't drink it for any reason. I don't know everything about De-ionized water just what I posted here.

we use R/O water for the keurig...but 100% of the water coming into the house goes through a resin bed to remove dissolved solids ..then the drinking, ice and coffee water is all passed through r/o system.

its over the top pricey
if you screw up and go over 10k in summer they double on top of normal rates
we have seen 250 and up in summer for just 6k gallons and 500 for 10k
so we conserve. still 3k a month for two people and washing clothes and cars is not to bad on usage, plus we catch a/c drain water and ro effluent into large tanks to water plants
Base Water 0 gallons $54.15
Water gallonage per 1k gal. $7.47
water gallonage rate over 2k to 10k $9.20
Base Sewer $80.29
Sewer gallonage per 1k gal. $2.64
TCEQ fee based on gallonage $1.77
can range from 1.50- 5.00
TCEQ fee over 5k $1.86
