@snoei I would like for you to do a taste test. Buy unfiltered water. Make a soup with unfiltered water and then another at the same time with city tab water. Big difference.
Also, boil city tap water in a pot. Once close to empty do not wash it fill it again with city tap water and let it boil down. Do not wash it again. Boil it again until there is no water in it and you will have allowed all the calcium and particles to have surfaced and remained on the bottom of the pot.
Also, all water is best boiled, hard boil, for ten minutes to be sure to rid any water of possible bacteria. Spring water....what spring is it from....how do we know the particular spring is what would be considered safe. So much to reflect on and decide on.
I use purified water, hate buying it, but I do. I bring it to a hard boil and boil it for ten minutes. I also think of it as helping to bring moisture into a dry winter home heated with forced air heating system.

@blm1007blm1007 I will have to think about this. Thank you for your reply. Blessings to you.

@blm1007blm1007 Unless @snoei perceives a problem with her tap water, what would be the point of doing this?

Minerals in water, which is what is left behind after boiling/evaporation, is not necessarily a bad thing. Also, tap water comes in many different qualities around the country.

In Minnesota our municipal well provides wonderful water, and we drank from the tap for most of our lives.

In Texas, our municipal water from the yucky river tastes awful, and we have never used it for drinking or cooking. Our place used to have a private well with nice water, but years of drought ...

All that said, we do filter our water with 10 micron and .2 micron filters to eliminate possible NTM and (the nasty taste in Texas.)
