Purified water is put through a filter or series of filters to remove the impurities. Where as, distilled water has been boiled to steam and the steam is then recondensed back into water without the original impurities.

Sterile or Sterilized Water - Water that meets the requirements under "Sterility Tests" in the United StatesPharmacopeia. Distilled Water - Water that is demineralized by distillation and complies with the requirements for purified water set forth in the United States Pharmacopeia DM water- Water that is demineralized by distillation, deionization, or reverse osmosis and complies with the requirements for purified water set forth in the United States Pharmacopeia

A soft water means it is free from magnesium.calcium,sulphate ios.chlorine etc but some minerals are present like Na ion.it is used for drinking purposes

A demineralize water is free from from salts and also from such minerals,also it can be used for drinking purposes.

"Demineralized" means that the various salts have been removed from the water. All natural waters contain various innocuous (and sometimes down right healthy) salts. Water may also contain toxic salts. Since demineralization removes almost all salts both the innocuous and the toxic salts are removed.

"Purified" really has no technical, legal, or practical meaning. "Purified" might mean that some contaminants have been removed or it might mean all contaminants have been removed. "Purified" water is not necessarily pure, it is just less impure than it was. If it was heavily contaminated with things you don't want in your water, but most of those contaminants have been removed, then it qualifies as "purified water".

"Pure" water is not the same as "purified water". Nearly "pure" water can be obtained by distillation. "Truly pure" water is very difficult, and costly, to make. "Truly pure" water would have no health benefits compared to generic clean water.

Soft water is free from a bias to either alkaline or acid. Demineralized water as used in a laboratory is made from distilled water, which has then had any stray ions (Na, Si etc) removed usually by an ion-exchange resin. These processes are necessary for work with a high purity. (Trace analysis for example.)

Demineralized water don't contain any type of ions but can contain some organic materials in traces; differences between distilled and demineralized water are generally not important and they can be interchangeable. The principal problem is the cost of the obtained water.

What are the pharmaceutical use of purified and distilled water?

All processes in the pharmaceutical industry uses strictly controlled demineralized or distilled water.


How do you make demineralized water at home?

Demineralized water can be made at home through the process of reverse osmosis with specialized systems. Demineralized water is water that has most of the impurities removed from normal tap water.


What is the difference between Purified water and DM Water?

Purified water goes through several processes, which remove impurities. These processes, especially distillation, can remove many minerals from the water, but they can not be completely removed. Demineralized (DM) water goes through a special chemical process, which removes the mineral ions. This process is quicker, and can be done with scale build up. The end result is very similar to distilled water, however the demineralizing process cannot remove organic molecules, such as viruses and bacteria.

What is demineralized water used for?

Demineralized (DM) water is another name for deionized (DI) water. It is water from which the (mineral) ions have been removed. It's a type of purified water, which is water that has been filtered or treated in some way to improve it for consumption or other uses. A link can be found below.when the water is passing through ionexenger means stronge acid cation,stronge base anion or mixed bed. that water is called deminaraliged water.
