Distilled water is water that has undergone a process called distillation, where impurities and contaminants are removed through boiling and condensation. During distillation, water is heated to its boiling point, and the steam is collected and condensed back into liquid form, leaving behind impurities such as minerals, chemicals, and microorganisms. This process results in highly pure water with a minimal concentration of dissolved solids.
Characteristics of Distilled Water:
Purity: Distilled water is considered one of the purest forms of water available, as it typically contains very low levels of dissolved minerals, ions, and other contaminants.
Neutral pH: Distilled water has a neutral pH level of around 7, making it neither acidic nor alkaline.
Lack of Minerals: Due to the removal of minerals during distillation
