What is the difference between distilled water and tap water?!


Question: Distilled water is just H20 with nothing else in it. Tap water usually has trace chemicals in it.

You can drink distilled water. Although, distilled water has a funny taste. I would much rather drink spring water or filtered water. Spring water is right next to the distilled water in gallon jugs, and they're the same price.

Distilled water is basically boiled until all the non-water is gone. It's pure water. It tastes disgusting. Why not just drink tap water? If you're in a 'civilised' country, it won't hurt.

distilled water has been completly filtered, thats whats in water bottles, and tap water is what comes out of your faucet and it always taste bad! you can always tell the differnce in the two, plus tap water has flouride and other stuff to keep your teeth healthy, i never understood that part, unless people dont brush their teeth lol

All you can say about it is: it's WET. Not much taste but is good for using in steam irons as it has NOTHING in it to leave sediment in the iron.

Have you ever seen the "moonshine" stills in the movies where the heat up their product and then the steam cools and condenses back into a liquid - that's the way distilled water works.

You'd be better to by you a Brita or some other type of filtration system and FILTER your water instead of distilled water.

Distilled water is safe to drink unlike in Tap water ^_^
