You are a dingbat. Buy a gallon of purified water for 89 cents. Boil it and run the steam through a copper or chem-lab glass tube. Save the condensate. $16 a pint? Please. $1 a quart, and that's about the time to do it.
As soon as that re-distilled water, that you say is more cost effective, touches the pipe, or is exposed to any gas, it no longer is absolutely pure. Water is the only universal solvent. Apparently you never really took college chemistry, like you claimed, or had access to sensitive equipment that can measure the resistance of the water to a far greater extent than a common multimeter.
LOL! Could you be more full of shit? "Measure the resistance of the water?" I never took chemistry? "Touches a pipe?" How do you think this magically pure water came to exist? In a perfect vacuum? And, since it dissolves metal, What's all that material in the photo.? And what is that platform those 3 guys are standing on made of? Why didn't this picture and the camera that took it just dissolve?
Do you disagree that there are dissolved metals in water? How do you think it got there? Water dissolves metal to some extent. It reaches an equilibrium. Extremely hypotonic water will dissolve metal faster. Gold is not very soluble.
You know that rain is basically distilled water. So if water in a creek can have dissolved metals in it treat that as the result of an integral. If it was initially zero then at some point the derivative had to be non-zero. That means that water dissolves metals.
Sorry to have to break it down to that level.
Again, you have not tested against MIL specs. The water specified is of the same purity found in the device in the article. But, thank you for sharing your omnipotence.
