It does actually. How long it takes depends on the TDS of the water (total dissolved substances) the purer the water the longer it lasts. It also needs to be stored in tightly sealed containers.
RODI/distilled water is best and will give you a few weeks.
Activated carbon filtered water is good, you will get about a week
Most city/well water will give you a few days.

What about tap water boiled? That's basically the method for distilling.

Boiling water will work if you are recapturing/recondense the steam.
Boiling water won't work if you are talking about the water still in the pot.

You would need to be able to catch the steam that comes from boiling the water in order to get distilled water.

Yea, a pot of water, with a glass bowl floating, then the top upside down with ice sitting in the top and it'll condense up top then fall back into the bowl. That's distilling  I just didn't feel like typing the whole thing.
