That's reverse osmosis water. It's not dangerous but itself but if you only drink it you may be hydrated but missing essential minerals that you usually get dissolved in water.

I remember hearing the reason DI water may not necessarily be potable js it's only free of salts/ion and may still have microorganisms or other biologically dangerous contaminates.
