Difference between purified and drinking water.?

Question

What is the difference between bottled, purified and bottled drinking water.

Answer 1

Purified water is water from any source that is physically processed to remove impurities.

Distilled water and deionized water have been the most common forms of purified water, but water can also be purified by other processes including reverse osmosis, carbon filtration, microporous filtration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation, or electrodialysis.

Water of sufficient quality to serve as drinking water is termed potable water whether it is used as such or not. Bottled water manufacturers in the United States must ensure that their products meet the FDA established standard of identity for bottled water products. A bottled water product identified under a specific category, such as mineral water, spring water, artesian water, etc., must meet requirements established by the government or be considered misbranded.
