Why does distilled water not work in a keurig machine?
In: 17
Sounds like the system requires the minerals in water to act as a switch. Electricity can’t conduct through distilled water so the machine has no way of knowing if there is water or not. I imagine the heating element switches off once water reaches a certain point but since the water is nonconductive it doesnt detect it and the heating element can burnout or create too much pressure inside the machine. I could see how that would destroy the machine pretty quickly.
