Filtered or purified water is flavorless. I use a ZeroWater filter, and the water has no taste.
It’s not though. It may have less taste than normal water, but it’s not zero.
If you can tase 60ppm (6 molecules for every 99,994 of water), then you’re beyond a super taster.
What does it filter out? Reverse osmosis type of thing? Are we talking 'distilled' water?
If so, do you not treat the water after it's filtered to make it suitable for humans?
I don’t drink it exclusively, but yes, Zero Water uses a filter that reduces the total dissolved solids down to 60ppm. I rent, and my tap water tastes like pennies, so I think it’s probably better to have too few minerals than too many.

I don't think that is reverse osmosis, it's just a filter (which I think is better since we now know about all the microplastics).
I don't know how distilled water affects our cells by introducing low osmotic pressure (dehydration & bowl issues?). My drinking habits include drinking half or a full liter in one go so I would research the matter and also how it affects the heart (or the whole cardiovascular system).
You’re right. It’s not reverse osmosis. I corrected my previous comment. I’m not to sure that distilled is good to drink either, but I haven’t done research on it myself.
Probably still better than with "a bit" of lead, so it's fine.
