Distilled water
Bottled water can usually be found in supermarkets or pharmacies, and home water delivery is available as well. Water purification, such as distillation, is especially important in regions where water resources or tap water is not suitable for ingesting without boiling or chemical treatment. Municipal water supplies almost always contain trace components at levels which are regulated to be safe for consumption. Some other components such as trace levels of aluminium may result from the treatment process. Fluoride and other ions are not removed through conventional water filter treatments. However, distillation eliminates most impurities. Distilled water is also used for drinking water in arid seaside areas lacking sufficient freshwater. |
