Some of the Amazing Qualities of Distilled Water

By

There are many amazing qualities when it comes to distilled water. Whether it is used for drinking purposes or for household and industrial use, it is a rather magnificent product. While it is tasteless in nature (in other words, it tastes pure!) and devoid of any contaminants and minerals it does have many useful and beneficial purposes. Before we go further into that we will explain the distillation process.

Distilled water is in essence regular or tap water that has been boiled and made into steam, a process that causes the separation of the pure water from any and all impurities it had when the process first began. These contaminants become solids that sit at the bottom of the distiller chamber. Distilled water, when used properly and not in excess can work wonders on the human body. The facts are that the type of water you take into your body does indeed affect your tissues and their performance.

This purified form of water performs like a magnet, drawing potentially harmful toxins and minerals from your body. This also greatly lessens the incidence of painful maladies like kidney and gall stones. Your joints in turn also are better, easing movement and lessening chances of developing arthritis. If you are sick or become ill then drinking distilled water will help hasten the removal of toxins from your body, thus helping you to become well quicker.

Not only is distilled water helpful when drinking, it is also very useful for the household as well. Distilled water in your steam iron will increase the longevity of your iron because it is devoid of harmful calcium and mineral deposits that can clog up your sprayer and make the iron essentially useless. It is also healthy for your fish and other sea life if you own an aquarium.

And it doesn’t stop there. Many companies, especially those that are into manufacturing or the industrial sector use nothing but distilled water for their machinery and equipment. Why, for the same reason that it is used in your household steam iron. Automobile and motorcycle battery manufacturers as well advise that you use nothing but distilled water when filling up a battery.

Yes indeed, there are many benefits associated with distilled water. Those in the know always make sure they have some distilled water on hand in their households.

The Hot Topic of Cold Distilled Water

Many topics are considered “hot topics” and distilled water is certainly one of them. The usage of it – say for example – in household settings or for industrial purposes not so much.   It is in the drinking of distilled water where it becomes the aforementioned hot topic. We will be delving into the benefits derived from distilled water. Of course, in the interest of fairness we will also briefly touch upon the other side of the coin as well.

Face it, in many communities the tap water that comes out of our faucets, while undergoing any of a variety of treatments, is still not up to par according to many experts on the subject. While tap water for the most part is fine for things like watering the yard, cooking things and washing your clothes there are other instances where it is not advisable to use it. One perfect example is your good old steam iron. Tap water can spell a short lifespan for it.

A quick consultation of your steam iron’s user manual will in almost all instances tell you to use only distilled water in your iron to avoid calcium buildup and clogging of your spray system. And when one washes their dishes and utensils using nothing but tap water this will inevitably lead to stains or unsightly spotting. And your kettles or stove top coffee pots? Tap water will eventually cause scaling on the inside. If possible, it is always advised to use distilled water.

So how do you derive the benefits attributed to distilled water? Well, you can purchase a water distiller or other distilling equipment suitable for homes, as water distillers are very cheap when you compare to buying bottled water. This water can be used for both drinking and household use.

We earlier mentioned the usage of distilled water in your steam iron. The same goes for an aquarium if you happen to have one. Tap water can in many cases be harmful to your fish so it is always advisable to go the distilled water route; however, in fish tanks, you’re going to have to add minerals to your water, as fish need pure water that contains minerals. We hope this has served as a helpful explanation regarding the benefits of distilled water.
