The water obtained might end up to be essentially the same, but the two processes are not similar.
In distillation, the water is boiled off as steam and then condensed back to liquid in a separate container, essentially leaving the solutes (which normally have higher boiling points) behind. However, contaminants having a lower boiling point will come off first and end up still in the water.
In reverse osmosis, the water is forced under pressure through a membrane (similar to filtration but to a finer degree) leaving the solute on one side and the water on the other. In this case, any contaminant with a small enough molecular size will pass through as well and end up in the water.
Each method, therfore, has its advantages and disadvantages.
Distilled (or double-distilled water; DDH2O) removes all but pure water molecules from a portion of water for use in the laboratory. While other treatments may have similar effects as distilling, they can leave more traces of impurities in the water or only act on a certain portion of the treatment of water (like removing ions, with deionization. reverse-osmosis, can be combined with other treatments to give nearly the same thing as distillation yields. Such purification methods might be deionization, ozonation, filtration and irradiation.
Reverse osmosis is a term you might have heard about. You might also have heard about the disadvantages of reverse osmosis. Home reverse osmosis systems exist, but they're being replaced by filtration designs capable of meeting the needs of the private sector. Let us take their advantages and disadvantages at the same time. The advantages can only be found in the commercial sector. The disadvantages of reverse osmosis in the home sector match step with every commercial advantage of the design. In the commercial sector it performed well in the role it was specifically designed to fill, desalination. Then it was used in the printing industry to supply clean water to its machines. But when it came to the residential part it failed miserably. It could not live up to the hype its owners said it would. What are some of the main disadvantages of reverse osmosis? We will tell you in a minute. Home reverse osmosis systems are just that, reverse. The home reverse osmosis systems take too long to filter water. They take about three to four hours to filter one gallon of water. This is one of the disadvantages of reverse osmosis. If you want more water you will have to wait and wait. And on top of that you pay $10,000.00 to install it in your home. Next we see that it cannot filter out anything lighter than water. That leaves chemicals in the water we drink. This isn't a concern in the commercial sector, machines don't need to drink the water. In regards to desalination, you take what you can get, pretty much. The list of disadvantages of reverse osmosis go on. The home reverse osmosis systems are showing themselves in a very dim light. Next is chlorine. Of course they cannot take out chlorine too, what with it being lighter than water as well. So now we have to deal with chlorine too? Will the list of disadvantages of reverse osmosis never stop? Home reverse osmosis systems look more dismal now, don't they? Well, if they are famous for not taking things out from water then they will also leave minerals behind, right? The answer again is No. They take those out. What!? They leave a lot of things behind, but necessary minerals and nutrients are removed? Home reverse osmosis systems really are reversed in their priorities. Last, but not least, the design of home reverse osmosis systems requires the use of a lot of water. Around four gallons per every filtered gallon. A monetarily and environmentally unacceptable ratio of waste. This is another of the disadvantages of reverse osmosis. All this waste for a system that doesn't filter what it should and removes minerals we need? Completely unacceptable. How were home reverse osmosis systems ever sold? The answer is simple, misrepresentation. Using terms like "professional grade" and "industrial grade" the design was promoted as the best possible system. Now the disadvantages of reverse osmosis have caught up with it and buried it alive.
No, purified and distilled water are not the same. Purified water has undergone a process to remove contaminants, while distilled water is specifically made by boiling water, collecting the steam, and condensing it back into liquid form to remove impurities.
Not everything is an element. Water is the combination of two elements. Hydrogen and Oxygen. Distilled water is just water with the impurities removed, so it's H2O all the same.
No, melted ice is not the same as distilled water. Distilled water is created by heating water to create steam, then cooling and condensing the steam back into liquid form. This process removes impurities from the water, resulting in a purer form of water compared to melted ice.
No, deionized water and reverse osmosis water are not the same. Deionized water has had ions removed through ion exchange, while reverse osmosis water is filtered through a membrane to remove impurities. Both processes produce pure water, but they use different methods to achieve this.
Distilled (or double-distilled water; DDH2O) removes all but pure water molecules from a portion of water for use in the laboratory. While other treatments may have similar effects as distilling, they can leave more traces of impurities in the water or only act on a certain portion of the treatment of water (like removing ions, with deionization. reverse-osmosis, can be combined with other treatments to give nearly the same thing as distillation yields. Such purification methods might be deionization, ozonation, filtration and irradiation.
In a pinch, you can use tap water in a lead-acid battery. Since the minerals dissolved in the water will eventually poison the battery it isn't advisable to make a habit of it. If your reverse osmosis device removes most of the minerals you can probably substitute it for distilled water but you should confirm the quality of the water it produces before making a habit of it. A quick method to check the quality would be to check the water's conductivity. Using an Ohm meter, compare its conductivity to that of distilled water at the same temperature. If the measurements are close then have at it.
When a prune is placed in distilled water, it will swell. This is because distilled water has a higher concentration of water molecules compared to the prune, causing water to move into the prune through osmosis, resulting in swelling as the prune absorbs water.
If the vacuoles in Elodea leaf cells are placed in distilled water, they become hypotonic. Distilled water has a lower solute concentration compared to the vacuoles of the cells, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cells.
No, distilled water and deionized water are not the same. Distilled water is created by boiling water and collecting the steam, while deionized water is purified by removing ions and minerals.
the pH of distilled water is 7.0 and is the same as pure water The solution is acidic.
They are not similar.

Boiled water is not the same as distilled water. Distilled water has been purified by a distillation process, which removes impurities and minerals. Boiling water may kill bacteria but it does not remove impurities, so it is not a suitable substitute for distilled water in applications requiring high purity.
No, rainwater is not the same as distilled water. Rainwater is collected from the atmosphere and may contain impurities, while distilled water is created through a process of boiling and condensation to remove impurities.
Yes. Essentialy deionized and distilled water are the same because distilled water is just water that has all ions taken out and therefore wont carry and electrical charge.
