Is distilled sea water safe to drink?
Distilled (desalinated) water is fresh water and is safe to drink. The sea water has been boiled (killing bacteria) and the water vapour (steam) condensed back to water. You may find that the water is actually rather tasteless. This is because you are to used to drinking tap water, to which chlorine and other chemicals have been added, which are not in the distilled water.
