Wouldn't that cause electrolysis and make the water unsafe to drink?


What do you imagine happens to water when it undergoes electrolysis?


It breaks down into its individual components which escape as gases. That alone shouldn't make the remaining water toxic, assuming a perfect reaction. But I guess the reaction isn't perfect due to things like impurities, the metals used as electrodes and so on?
