Dropping of the Water Bottle

I have a 3 gallon rectangular water bottle that I use to store water I distill for home use.

Today I dropped the thing while transporting it from one point in the kitchen to another on the counter. Anyway, it didn't sustain a far drop but the water shot out of the inlet and pretty much wet the floor necessitating a floor towel and few minutes of wiping around to effect some drying action.

I was pondering the efficacy of the situation and decided it remains worth the trouble. There is a residue removed by the distiller which has the look of cigarette ashes and a yellow liquid component which simply does not lend itself to my desire for drinking.

I much prefer the distilled water which at least lacks those contaminates the water people likely call "treatment agents" and deem necessary. This is a direct reflection on my confidence of the city officials which is essentially nil.

So I guess I can only attempt to be more careful in the future.
