    The main point you need to make to her, is tap water is different than rain water, rain water (while it may have some dust and other pollutants in it) does not have dissolved minerals in it (see below). Maybe a good example is to remind her why she uses distilled water in her clothes iron (does anyone iron clothes anymore?)

    You make it sound like the water treatment plant is adding minerals to your water, LOL. Tap water has dissolved minerals in it because it came from the ground where it has been dissolving those minerals from the rocks, etc. And if your comeback is going to be "my water comes from a reservoir, not the ground", last I checked what's under the water in a river or a reservoir is...the ground.

    I do make it sound like minerals are added add the treatment plant…. My comeback? Learned chlorine (a mineral?) was added to tap water in grade school….

    I’ll leave this here. Try Googling before correcting….Lol

    Well, I'll leave this here...chlorine is not a mineral, and not everything that you find by Googling is accurate.

    See if you can find the step here where minerals are added: Water Treatment | Public Water Systems | Drinking Water | Healthy Water | CDC

    Tell that to my little brother. He’s a millennial to the T. He’s that guy who can’t have an interesting discussion without his phone in hand and Google on standby. Lol.
