My good friend likes that and drinks it, but most people don't like the lack of minerals that give spring water, and reservoir water, its good taste. You don't miss that?
I tend not to believe this. "Metals"? The only metals it comes in contact with is the aluminum in the evaporator fins and the steel in the pan that forms the bottom of the AC. It spends little time on the fins before it drops off** and little time in the steel pan as it runs to the far end. 5 or 10 seconds? People drink out of aluminum cups all the time, and they cook in steel pots, with hot water. The evaporator fins are cold and the metal pan is not hot either with all that water running through it, so that also lessens any dissolving.
