what effect does the water u use in an lc make...

I was wondering about the effect of what water plays in the roll of an lc. Is water a major part? if so, maybe this is part of alot of failures are at without notice...
i have only had one successful lc and about 6 failures... i want to say i used distilled water in my first and only successful lc. i believe these past 6 failures are with drinking water from a store in a gallon.... i didnt notice til today that the one i buy has the same label for drinking as the same as the distiled one.. so here i thought i was using distilled but it was drinking...
so needless to say i got the distilled water today and i was looking at some threads and seen some people boil water before use with lc for 10 minutes then instead of using pc they bottle up everything and then boil for another 30 minutes.. Well, i use a pc and i have had 6 failures.. here there using a boiling technique but my point is they boil the water for ten minutes first before they place it into the jar nnd add the turbinado sugar and stir it up then they put foil over lid and boil in water for another 30..
here i am not boiling water.. i pour about a glass of water at the time drinking but now i will be using distiled. in a glass and place into the microwave and nuke for a couple minutes till i see the water bubble... then i add the turbinado and jar up and pc for 20-30 minutes..
i think if i boil the water and then add the turbinado and stir it up real good then pc for 20 minutes i will be better off for some reason i feel boiling the water may help???
also, i read somewhere someone taking a potato and dicing it up keeping the skins on and boiling in water until the potatoe was cooked then strain the water and use that for lc along with adding karo or honey or turbinado.. anyone know anything on that???

I don't think it matters much about the water,I usually use water right from the tap although I have use filtered water before and never really saw an increase in growth with one over another

tap water basically becomes stream water once boiled
