      I’ve had it happen with tap water.

      But I used to live in a place where the tap water had ridiculously low mineral content, so ymmv.

        I use RO-filtered water and for fun we safely discovered it does flash boil in the microwave.

        I use it in a proper glass tea kettle though. It stay clean for months now, it used to get messy in a few days using tap water. I also think tea steeps tea better in low TDS water. From an osmotic point of view, that makes sense.

        Normally our tap water is nearly liquid tums 😅

      Our RO-filtered water also flash boils. And flash freezes!

      Distilled water is okay now that diets are more complete with vitamins. Especially if you’re eating your veggies. But that would be expensive and unnecessary 😄
