A brief look inside my water distiller after thick plates of rock minerals, debris, gunk, and miscellaneous residue built up on the inside stainless steel wall and peeled off. I never bother to waste time, money, and water cleaning the inside of this appliance because the residue flakes off eventually on its own. The residue has a bad chemical smell to it after each distilled water production. A lot of people are biased against drinking distilled water, but the truth is a very tiny percentage of your mineral intake comes from hard water versus food and drink. I've been drinking it for several years now and my observations are that no water tastes better and I probably avoided a fair amount of pathogens and toxins over time. As distilled water is the purest form of water, I would say it's a refreshing break from the nasty water I drink at the office or in restaurant glasses. Think rain water without the dissolved atmospheric pollutants.
