Dunno,  but free water (as a by product) is available from yout basement dehumifier.

Assuming you have a clean catch container to begin with, and cleaned the coil fins, just loosely filter through folder kitchen paper, or cotton, then - to be safe, boil for 5 minute.... then presto. Equivalent to "Distilled water".

Only reason to boil, is to kill airborn organisms ans spores from the air (mildew et al.)

For ironing, no need to boil <vbg>
