water from which impurities as dissolved salts and colloidal particleshave been removed by one or more processes of distillation chemically pure water.
Distilled water is a type of purified water that has had both contaminants and minerals removed. ... Distillation boils the water, and then condenses the steam back into a liquid to remove impurities and minerals. Deionization removes salt and other mineral ions (molecules) from water.
Distilled water is safe to drink. But you'll probably find it flat or bland. That's because it's stripped of important minerals like calcium, sodium, and magnesium that give tap water its familiar flavor. What's left is just hydrogen and oxygen and nothing else.
Purified water usually begins as tap water as well. It will go through many purification processes, including those used for water filtration. ... When the vapor condenses back to water, it leaves behind any mineral residue. The resulting condensed liquid is distilled water.
