Distilled (or double-distilled water; DDH2O) removes all but
pure water molecules from a portion of water for use in the
laboratory. While other treatments may have similar effects as
distilling, they can leave more traces of impurities in the water
or only act on a certain portion of the treatment of water (like
removing ions, with deionization. reverse-osmosis, can be combined
with other treatments to give nearly the same thing as distillation
yields. Such purification methods might be deionization, ozonation,
filtration and irradiation.
