Solution

There are a lot of impurities, salts, and air that get dissolved in water.
When the water gets boiled the dissolved air present in the water gets released.
So that the water gets a flat taste, even more, water tastes better.
In the same way, after distilling water, it gives off all unwanted things so that water tastes flat
