Tap water is tap water, wtih all the impurities.

Distilled water had taken out all the minerals

Purified water has taken out some, but not all, the minerals and gunk

Distilled water is just water that is plain, not pure, or fizzy.

Distilled water is water that has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most if not all solid contaminants behind.

my note: some people use distilled water in their iron so that it lasts longer. It is also used in medical steriliser for the same reason, doesn't leave build up of minerals naturally found in water.

With regard to your belly button cleaning, just use any water from a bottle or that has been put through a filter.

Distilled water is pure. It has all purities removed from it through a special process. I had to use it for a science fair project and had to buy like 3 gallons. On the bright side, you can buy it at the grocery store.

Distilled water is with all the minerals taken out.

I can't imagine why hydrogen peroxide wouldn't be a better alternative.

I think it is water that is turned to steam and the steam is cooled down to get the water. Chloramines and Chlorine and other stuff is evaporated off I assume.

"Distilling" involves boiling the water and then catching the "steam" into another, clean container. You can make it, but it's tricky. Just buy it; it's not any more expensive than regular bottled water.

just boil water on your stove, then let it cool, and use it to clean the piercing....there are also specials sprays to clean piercings as well, been a while so i cant remember the name!

Distilled water is water that has been boiled away to vapor. THe vapor is condensed into distilled water. The impurities do not boil off and are left to be discarded.

Tap water is water that has been clarified (to drop off particles), filtered, treated to regulate pH and eliminate minerals, and then treated with ozone or chlorine to kill bacteria and spores.

Purified water is probably tap water in a fancy bottle with a high price.
