Catholic AnswerThere is no such thing as "consecrated water," probably what you are referring to is Holy Water, which is ordinary water, which has been blessed by a priest:

Holy Water is a Sacramental.

A Sacramental is a Blessed Object. These include objects that are aids for fostering devotion to God and to the saints. Among them are statues, religious paintings, the rosary, scapular, medals, holy water, and the three holy oils (oil of the catechumens, oil of the sick and sacred chrism). Ref: OSV Catholic Doctrine p. 594

CCC: 548-559

It is used in Churches and in homes to bless oneself and to remind you of your Baptismal and the promises you made.
