what is de-ionized water?

639 viewsChemistryOther

I’m confused if it is a marketing term or if it’s a real way to make safe drinking water? If you distill water you are physically removing contaminants, which makes sense that it is safe to drink. De-ionizing is like removing ions, but what does that mean, is the water now cleaner?

Deionized water is mainly used for the “spot free rinse” in car washes. Minerals cause the spots, deionization removes the minerals.
