Distilled Water PC Style

I have a valve Pc to keep steam in. If I put a gallon or so of water & PC it for 90 min.. Would that be considered distilled water?

i think distilled is like...the steam goes up thru a pipe, then as it cools it turns into condensation, and is then distilled lol

You should research distillation. 
Side note, you don't need distilled water for mycology. Tap water is fine.

Tap.
Edit- I use my PC as the boil vessel for my still.
Edit again- you will need to sterilize your tap water in your PC.

I have still & know very well how it works. I don't know how or who posted that "I don't know how it works" Thats a real concern to me, if someone in here can use my handle.

LOL, I edited your quote in my post. 
You need sterile water. Doesn't have to be distilled. That's the point of this.

You can buy distilled water at the store for 99 cents or so a gallon. The manual of an All American PC says to use distilled water as it prevents scale buildup. I use distilled water in my PC.
