I am probably being over cautious, however for now, I am boiling all water before using it....be it tap water, purified water, spring water or and distilled water.
What I found.
When I boiled Great Value (Walmart) Spring Water, in a good old fashioned Pyrex Glass Pot, what was showing in the water during and after reaching the boiling point was white mico particles that were floating in the water and also clinging to the sides of the pot. Not having noticed it, so far ,when boiling purified or distilled water in the same pot .....meaning I did not see or have white particles that were floating in the water or clining to the sides of the pot.
I wonder...of course if it is just Great Value (Walmart) Spring Water...??
Maybe the brand makes a difference or where or what Spring they get their water from????
Any thoughts about the white micro particles..... as to what they might be??? Calcium???
I used that water on my plants with being concerned with what I saw.

Plastic nano particles? But then again I'm not sure with the human eye we could see those.
I've read that boiling water then filtering that water eliminates 80% of plastic particles but there's more to study on this issue before proven.
https://www.verywellhealth.com/can-boiling-tap-water-eliminate-microplastics-8605841The bottom line limit use of water from plastic containers. I would consider traveling limited exposure in the scheme of things. What I do is opt for tap water filtered with Life Straw or boiled tap water. If I'm a restaurant I drink the water as served preferably without ice. Limited use without driving yourself crazy.
