Reverse osmosis is not the same as distilled water—they’re like a dad-joke and a pun: both clean, but one has more personality. Distilled water goes through a boiling and condensing marathon, while RO water slides through a tight membrane like a secret agent.
Both are excellent for different jobs, and neither is a wrong choice—unless you’re pouring distilled into your morning coffee. Then you’ve made a mistake, and your taste buds will let you know. So next time you grab a bottle, just ask yourself: Am I drinking this, or am I cleaning something that hates me? That’s your answer. Cheers, you beautiful water snob.
