Water is the most abundant compound in the biosphere of Earth; as a result, it is the compound of life. Water is an inorganic compound composed of the bonding of two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen, with a chemical formula of H₂O. Water that has been heated to the boiling point with the purpose of separating impurities from the water itself becomes vapor or steam first and then condensed back into pure liquid form, is called distilled water.

Distilled water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless, and contains no solids or matter of any kind, no minerals (organic or inorganic), or trace elements.

Distilled water is defined as bottled water that has been manufactured by the process of distillation, which involves boiling this liquid to later condense the steam into a container, leaving most solid contaminants behind. Distillation removes bacteria and other contaminants. Other chemical processes used to purify water are: reverse osmosis, carbon filtration, microporous filtration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation, and electrodialysis.

Ordinary tap water contains about 114 to 123 parts per million of sodium. When this water is run through water filters, this decreases to about 12-14 parts per million of sodium. Distilled water has only .00006 parts per million sodium.

Major uses and applications

Purified distilled water is suitable for many applications. The most popular are autoclaves, handpieces, laboratory testing, laser cutting, and automotive use. Other uses are: drinking water, cooking, electric irons and batteries,. It is pure enough to be used for intravenous feeding, inhalation therapy, prescriptions, and baby formulas.
