What is the difference between purified and distilled water?
Purified and distilled water are essentially the same product — water in its purest form with essentially all the minerals removed. The difference is in the process used to remove the minerals. Distillation involves a heating process that converts water into steam, leaving the minerals or impurities behind. Water processed by this method is called distilled water. However, the same result can be achieved by using deionization and reverse osmosis, water processed by these methods is called purified water.
