because water itself, in its pure form H2O does not conduct electricity. what actually conducts electricity in water are the ions of other materials, which are present in tap water - various water treatment chemicals, metals, salts and minerals...

so since distilled water does not contain, or contains very few, of these other molecules, it is not considered an electrolyte.

The pH scale is based on the ionization constant for water, which at 25 degrees C is 1x10^-14. That is why the scale goes to 14 and 7 is neutral. When [H+] = [OH-], pH = 7 and each one has a concentration of 1x10^-7. Done.

The pH is measured with an electronic pH-meter; by the exact value of 7,000 (neutral) is hypothetical in normal working conditions.

Why salt water conduct electricity while distilled water cannot?

Dissolved and liquid salts are electrolytes and do conduct electricity. All natural waters have salts in them. Water only conducts electricity, when salts have dissolved in the water. Distilled water aka water without any salts is a nonelectrolyte and does not, as any other oxide, conduct electricity.
