First, let’s talk about plain old “drinking water.” That’s the stuff from your tap, the hose, or that plastic jug at the gas station.
Technically, it’s water that’s “safe” to drink. It meets basic government standards for not killing you.
Think of it as the entry-level water. It’s passed basic health tests, but it’s still got stuff in it.
What kind of stuff? Oh, you know. Minerals like calcium and magnesium. Maybe a whisper of chlorine to keep germs away.
Sometimes a little dirt, copper from old pipes, or trace amounts of things you'd rather not think about. It’s fine! Really. Mostly.
