    I’ve had it happen with tap water.

    But I used to live in a place where the tap water had ridiculously low mineral content, so ymmv.

      Ironically, your problem is that your jug is too clean. Do a less good job washing up and there shouldn’t be any danger.

      I use RO-filtered water and for fun we safely discovered it does flash boil in the microwave.

      I use it in a proper glass tea kettle though. It stay clean for months now, it used to get messy in a few days using tap water. I also think tea steeps tea better in low TDS water. From an osmotic point of view, that makes sense.

      Normally our tap water is nearly liquid tums 😅
