question about formula water

So I know you shouldn't use plain tap water, but what water should you use? Could I just buy one of those purifiers for the faucet? If I'm not mistaken its called distilled water I use for formula correct..?

Plain tap water is just fine. It is recommended that you don't use hot tap water because it is likely to contain more lead. You could certainly use a water purifier if it makes you feel better.

Boil a pot and then put it in a container. Then you'llhave it ready whenever you need it and won't have to wait for the kettle to boil. That way you know your water is pure and all germs are out.

Boil water n put it in a vacuum flask. It's risky if you just use tap water. I mean babies are so little n their stomachs are so delicate. I used to boil water just before going to sleep at night n in the afternoon around lunch time. Distilled water is not for drinking.
