Filtering is when a (cold) liquid is slowly passed through a filter, to remove impurities. Distilling is the heating of a liquid into steam (vapour) that is led away and condensed back into a liquid, so leaving impurities behind.

Therefore, distilling, because of the need for heat, is more expensive to do, though may be better if a large volume is to be processed.
