what is de-ionized water?

625 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?

Water usually contains ionised minerals. Deionising the water removes them. They can be removed. It’s probably not unsafe to drink, but it’s expensive and doesn’t taste good.
