Gerber’s says it adds minerals back for taste, that means it removed all of them in one of the earlier steps, then adds a few back, but it still has way less than some tap water. I would think an actual distiller would be a little dangerous. When people were making their own hard liquor from corn, they had to distill the contents, and these stills often blew up. Here’s what a still looks like. Moonshine Stills, Moonshine still, copper moonshine still, Hillbilly Flute - YouTube If you friend has this in her basement, my guess is she might be making moonshine!

Well, I never actually went down in the basement to check it out but they say it is a water distiller. The house was built about 10 years ago. They were very involved it the design and construction of the house so I assume they know what they are talking about. They don't drink alcohol so I doubt it is moonshine, unless they are making it to sell for profit!
