Distilled water

Distilled water is water that has been subjected to a distillation process in which all dissolved minerals, salts and impurities have been separated from the water. This process is designed to obtain water of high purity without various impurities.

Distilled water has a number of uses:

  1. Laboratories: Distilled water is used in chemical and biological laboratories to prepare reagents and solutions where purity is important.
  2. Industry: It is used in some industries, such as electronics, where water purity is important for production processes.
  3. Batteries and accumulators: Distilled water is used to fill batteries, as it contains fewer impurities that can affect their functioning.
  4. Preparation of solutions: It is used in various cases when it is necessary to prepare solutions with high accuracy and purity.
  5. Starting steam systems: Distilled water is used in steam systems where it is important to avoid scale and contamination.

In general, distilled water is used in situations where high water purity and the absence of minerals and impurities are important.
