Boil your water, then after it cools run it through a charcoal and/or osmosis filter. Even then, it’s still not great. Commercial/community water treatment isn’t some silly little optional process.
distilled water is fine the issue is if you drink mostly or only distilled water, it doesn’t have the minerals you’ll find in tap water and long-term missing those isn’t healthy. even so you can get those minerals from other sources like food or supplements most of the time.
Unless you’re starving to death, you absolutely get those from food. The amount of minerals in even hard water is miniscule compared to what’s in food. Drinking distilled or RO water, even regularly is not going to hurt you.

If you’re going to do all that and still end up with “not great”, why not just distill it?
Not a good idea to drink distilled water.
