Distilled water is prohibited in municipal water systems because it leaches the calcium from bones and teeth if I remember correctly.

Sorry..not going down that rabbit hole as it'll never end..and I value my time.

I'm sure there's lots of resources on the web if you do some searching. One last bit of advice, don't risk any money on your understanding of this chemistry.
