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?
