Isn't it all Costco? Perhaps a production in a certain area where the local kehilla/rov is pushing for a clear certification?

Costco is only a private label

1. Google cow water.
2. Purified ≠ distilled
3. I dont think there's a single case of distilled drinking water being sourced from condensate. Though I may be wrong.
On the other hand, there have need rare instances of water being pasteurized in grape equipment

Thank you. I did say purified and distilled may not be the same thing, and now I know for certain. 
I forgot to mention stam yeinam - he did say that was a possibility. Though I was wondering how much of his suggestions were sensationalism and how much was a practical warning.

I believe the minerals are kitniyos based, and add taste. the OU site used to be pretty clear about this. there are multiple costco water products with very similar names to each other so hard to differentiate

Is there any Halachik reason to Kasher ones Kiddush Kos/Becher for Pesach if they never use it around hot Chametz?
If yes, shouldn't it be enough just pouring boiling water on it.
I'm asking because i see people doing Hagala on them besfore Pesach.

So wouldn't pouring boiling water on it be enough?

What is “food”? Chometz is food, no? Now it’s mixed with something else.
I’m only familiar with a ptur when something is נפסל מאכילת כלב. AFAIK antibiotics are not.
