<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 4836716, member: 33176"]Distilled vs deionized water... I just Googled this so I could include a link, and the first response was such nonsense, I thought I would air my thoughts/opinions. Distilled water is just what it says, water is boiled and the resulting steam is condensed. This is "pure" water from the standpoint that it doesn't have any non-volatile contaminants, it can still have dissolved organics that would co-distill, and it can have dissolved gases present either before or after the distillation. It should have little to no electrical conductivity and leave zero residue upon evaporation. Deionized water, on the other hand, is water that has been put through a resin bed (think of water going through ground coffee in a coffeemaker) that would remove any dissolved salts (and any extraneous solid material...after all, it is a filter) but would not remove any dissolved organic material, liquid or solid. The deionized water would have little or no electrical conductivity, and, if the beginning water wasn't bad, should have zero residue on evaporation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
