Does anyone know if these chemical are removed via distillation processes? Not that I plan on distilling my own tap water, but just curious how "pure" distilled

TLDR Activated carbon and reverse osmosis primarily. Distillation is most effective, but is more energy intensive (due to the energy required to evaporate and condense) and if used for drinking, should be re-minalized (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts).

  To anyone (thinking of) distilling: re-mineralize it post-distillation if your daily fluid intake is over dunno 2-3L. Whether your minerals powder has "forever-chemical" traces or not. Don't want to risk creeping chronic lowish sodium levels, which can do a real number on electrolyte balance, nerves system / neurology, mood and mental sharpness (in the programmer sense) and concentration abilities.
