Steam distilled water

[electrocuted]

My water company at work provides steam distilled water. Would this be ok for water changes? What would be the benefits of using RO or RO/DI water instead?
Thanks

I use steamed distilled water for water changes and top offs too. I don't know the answer to the questions but I hope somebody out there does.

Distilled water is a good thing to use. RO/DI is just as good.

As with RO, DI or RO/DI, much of the quality issues with distilled water center around the maintenance of the purification equipment, and what materials the condensate comes in contact with after it's a cooled liquid.
In the case of steam distilled water - what is the material of the condenser, piping and storage vessels ?
How long does the distilled water remain in storage ?
Is there any chemical post treatment of the distilled water ?
Is the distilled water in continuous contact with metal piping, or is everything from the point of the condenser forward made of plastic piping ?
