Answer 7

Distilled water is water that has had virtually all of its impurities as well as electrolytes removed through distillation (that is, boiling the water and re-condensing the steam into a clean container, thus leaving contaminants behind). It is widely used in chemical and biological laboratories.

Many people drink distilled water for its purity and for its improved taste. Municipal water supplies may have trace contaminants at levels which are scientifically believed to be safe, but some people feel safer drinking distilled water. It also has no minerals, which may make it taste better.

The drinking of distilled water has been both advocated and discouraged for health reasons. The purported effect of drinking water in its pure form is a 'more powerful solvent' that helps cleanse toxins from the body.

Detractors argue that it robs the body of essential minerals in this way and also deprives it of minerals normally acquired from drinking water. While there is no evidence to suggest that drinking distilled water is harmful or leaches minerals from the body, the World Health Organization has assembled considerable research which shows a relationship between drinking water containing naturally-occurring minerals and lower rates of certain diseases.

Many people use distilled water in their irons for pressing clothes to reduce mineral build-up and make the iron last longer. However, many iron manufacturers say that distilled water is no longer necessary in their irons.

Some people use distilled water for household aquariums because it lacks the chemicals found in tap water supplies.

It is important to supplement distilled water when using it for fishkeeping; it is too pure to sustain proper chemistry to support an aquarium ecosystem.

Despite the perceived benefits, the cost of distilling water (about 0.04 to 0.10 Euro or USD per liter in 2005) prohibits its use by most households worldwide.

Answer 8

I love distilled water and use it all the time. Excellent for making tea and coffee as it doesn't add any taste to the drink.
