It will go through many purification processes, including those used for water filtration. Purified water goes a step further than filtering, with a process that removes chemical pollutants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. You'll often find purified water in bottles at your local grocery. Distilled water is a more specialized type of purified water, but much easier and cheaper to produce at home. As with purified water, it meets the classification requirement of 10ppm parts per million of total dissolved solids, aka, contaminants or less.
The process of distilling is simple. Heat tap water to the point that it turns to vapor. When the vapor condenses back to water, it leaves behind any mineral residue. The resulting condensed liquid is distilled water. Distilled water is completely safe for use, but the downside of distilling is that it removes all of the helpful minerals like calcium and magnesium that occur naturally in tap water.
For that reason, it isn't generally recommended to use distilled water as your daily drinking water, and you may find that it lacks in flavor. You also need to choose any storage container you use for distilled water carefully. Distilled water's lack of nutrients can cause it to leach chemicals from the container it's stored in. If you plan to use the water immediately, most containers will do fine, but for long-term storage it's best to use glass or high-quality stainless steel.
Not to get too science-y here, but this is exciting for me. We'll be using water in all three of its known states -- solid, liquid and gas. The gist is this: You heat water liquid , turn it into water vapor gas , then collect the condensation with the aid of ice solid. It's like middle school science class all over again. You'll likely find everything you need in your kitchen.
A large pot, a lid for the large pot, a small pot, water, ice and oven mitts for handling the hot cookware. It does take some time for all this science to happen, so be prepared. In my example below, I started with 8 cups of water in the large pot. To recreate a gallon jug that you'd find in the supermarket you'd need about 13 hours of distilling time. First, place the large pot over a stovetop burner and add 8 cups of water. Then, place the smaller pot inside the large pot.
At this point the smaller pot should float on top of the water. The key to circulating water vapor inside the large pot is airflow. It's almost pure water, with the minerals and other impurities left behind. There are a few purposes for which the boiled and distiiled water are similar. For example, if there is a problem with bacteria in the water, both the boiled and distilled water should be safe to drink, since the heat should kill the bacteria. If the problem is not bacteria but the presence of toxic or otherwise undesirable solutes, then boiling will not help but distilling it will.
This is a problem when, say, converting seawater to drinking water -- boiling will not remove the salt but distilling it will. Mike W. Some of the water will drip into the glass bowl. That's the distilled water. Turn off the gas. Remove the lid from the pot.
Using gloves, remove the glass bowl carefully -- it will be very hot. Allow the distilled water in the bowl to cool down and then you can store it in bottles. Distilled water is completely safe to drink. However, it has no taste and is flat, as the distillation process removes important minerals from it such as calcium, magnesium and sodium.
These minerals are what gives tap water its taste. How do you make distilled water? The process of distilling water on your stove is fairly simple. Fill a stainless steel pot halfway full of water and place a glass or metal bowl inside, letting it float. Cover the pot with an upside down lid and cover it with ice cubes.
Immediately turn the element on and let it get the water heat up or boil for 45 minutes, replacing the ice as needed. When done, the water collected in the glass bowl is distilled. Is boiled water the same as distilled water? Boiled water is simply water that has had the temperature increased until it reaches its boiling point.
This kills a host of bacteria that can make a person sick.
