Best Answer

A number of buildings have a central distillation system that supplies the whole building with distilled water that is relatively free of ions. In the past this water was again filtered by individual filtration systems by distillation to produce double distilled water. Nowadays, however, reverse osmosis is generally used so the water is called double deionized water instead. ddH20 is much more pure than dH20. Additionally many labs have their own filtration systems to produce ddH20. This means that dH20 has to pass through the building's pipes where it can pick up contaminants whereas ddH20 is purified and then passes through a series of plastic tubes where it is much less likely to pick up additional dirt, particles, or microbes.

Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?

no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.
