Tap Water: Safe Sip or Hidden Hazard? What’s Really in Your Tap Water- And Why I Choose Distilled!

Think! Before drinking from your tap!

Most people never question what’s in their tap water. It's clear, it's convenient, and treated by our local water authorities under stringent legislation like the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2016 here in the UK.

So, it must be clean and safe, right?

🚰 Hidden Contaminants in Tap Water

Have you ever wondered what’s really in your tap water? If you’ve never seen the residue left behind after distilling it, you might be shocked! I’ve been using a Megahome distiller for about 5 years, and every time I clean it out, I see the gunky residue that’s been removed—stuff that would have gone straight into my—and my precious daughters'—bodies if we’d been drinking from the tap… and I’m reminded why I’ll never go back to settling for drinking tap at home!

Tap water can contain:

❌ Chlorine – Used to disinfect water but is a harsh irritant, both for skin and intestinal lining, where it causes gut microbiome disruption.

❌ Fluoride – A controversial additive that is a byproduct of industrial waste that some studies suggest may accumulate in the body over time.

❌ Heavy metals & microplastics – Found in many public water supplies, with research indicating potential health risks.

Thankfully, distillation removes all of this, giving you truly clean water. But it is now inert, and there is more to hydration than just stripping out the bad! To restore its natural vitality, I take a few extra steps!

💧 How I Replenish & Revitalise My Water

After distilling, I add:

✨ Quartz crystals to energetically reinvigorate the water,

🧂 Pink Himalayan rock salt stirred with a silver spoon to remineralise and

🥤 Store in glass or stainless steel to prevent contamination.

Once you experience the difference, there’s no going back!
