I love sparkling water but hate paying for it so I make my own - I bought a CO2 tank, tubing, and connectors along with a 2-stage regulator. Seattle's water is pretty darn good and the CO2 is acidic so it stores well.
When you distill your own water, keep in mind that all organics are volatile at approximately the same temperatures as water (when I worked in a science lab using 'mega-pure' water that went through reverse osmosis, 3 different filters before being distilled - I was always told to keep volatile organics in mind). When we lived in Tucson, CAP came to town and we were told it safe to drink but do not use it in your fish tanks or give it to your pets so we bought distilled water for all our cooking and drinking needs.
The difference between distilled water and the water in your tap is so minimal that drinking enough distilled water to do damage is approximately the same amount of tap water that would cause the electrolytes to be diluted to the point your organs stop functioning - so don't worry about any electrolytic imbalances.
Drinking liquids to maintain your health is a good thing - coffee, orange juice, tea, tap water, it does not really matter compared to what your body needs. The liquid in our bodies is closer to seawater than pure water and coffee is closer to pure water than it is to seawater.
