Default OT sort of; bottled water

So at least one bottled water company admitted today that they use tap
water. I forget its name, wikipedia or something, but iiuc they've
only changed their label to say p.w.s. on the bottles, which most
people still won't know stands for public water source.

Someone from the water industry, maybe this company, was interviewed
on the evening news, and he said that the water was processed in 7
stages, including reverse osmosis, ozification, something I forget,
and distillation.

Distillation is the one I don't get? First, it would cost a lot of
money to steam distill all the water, and steam distillation is the
only distillation that meets the def. of distillation, afaik (not
counting natural evaporation and rain). Second, it takes all the good
tasting minerals out of the water.

So what sort of distillation are they talking about? Or are they
pulling our legs?


I figure this is partly on topic because you guys are always talking
about well water and hard water and doing all kinds of things to it.
