Distilled Water is ...

Distilled water is also known as steam-distilled water. This is the water that has been heated to the boiling point which is 212 degrees fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade at sea level. This steam is then cooled and condensed back into liquid form as pure water. All the impurities that were originally in water remain as residue (scale and sediment) in the boiling vessel when the water boils off. These sediments are then removed during periodic maintenance.

The process of distillation kills biological contaminants such as bacteria, parasites, cysts, viruses, removes organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, volatile gases, and other contaminants. Therefore, this is almost a complete water filtration system. In addition, the water produced by this system is pure and contains no solids, minerals, or trace elements. Steam distillation is the only water purification method that removes virtually all contaminants. This can be termed as the most efficient system as far as filtration is concerned.
