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.
