What is meant by distilled water?



Answer:
To elaborate a bit on some of the other answers:

A liquid is distilled when is has been boiled (heated into a gaseous state) and then recondensed into a different clean container, generally by cooling it. When impurities in the water have a much higher boiling point, the water will boil off first and the vapor will condense into the container in which none of the impurities exist. Distillation only works for water when everything else in the water will not boil at close to the same temperature- otherwise, bad things will boil with the water and just simply travel in the vapor into the new place. Distilled water itself is a reference to the liquid that has been collected in the new, clean container. Often this process is repeated several times to minimize trace amounts of impurities that can boil with the water, though this method does not guarantee to remove everything.

This is different from RO/DI (Reverse Osmosis/De-Ionized) water, as this process is akin to filtration and does not generally involve any phase change for the water.

Often the purest waters are those that are filtered in multiple ways, as no one method can absolutely remove everything in water.
It's water that has been evaporated and then condensed again.
Distilling is a process through which water is boiled, and the vapors are directed to an enclosed area. The vapors collect into water and fall into a container. This removes all impurities. You can even get drinkable water from sewage through this method.
Distilled water is the closest thing to pure water available today. Distilled water contains virtually no solids, minerals or trace elements. It is clean, natural and healthy. Steam distilled water is the standard by which all other waters are measured.

Water is heated to its boiling point, thus producing steam and thereby separating impurities from the water. The steam is then condensed back into a liquid form. The impurities remain as residue and are removed.

hope this helps!! :-)
Distilled water is water that has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and re-condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most contaminants behind.
Distilled water :
-Water that has been freed of dissolved or suspended solids and organisms by distillation.
-Water from which all minerals and other impurities have been removed by the process of distillation.
- Water that has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and re-condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most contaminants behind.
