Reverse Osmosis versus Distilled Water
Many people ask about the benefits of drinking water purified by reverse osmosis versus distilled water. Both systems can remove a number of contaminants, but distillation removes more contaminants and more reliably. What is Reverse Osmosis? Reverse Osmosis is a water … [Read more...]
The Benefits of Drinking Vapor Distilled Water
What is Vapor Distilled Water? Vapor distilled water is produced through a process that mirrors the natural hydrologic cycle, essentially converting water to vapor and then condensing it back into liquid form. This process involves heating the water to create steam, which rises and leaves … [Read more...]
What is the pH of Distilled Water?
What Is the pH of Distilled Water? Distilled water is known for its neutrality. It typically has a pH level of 7, making it neither acidic nor alkaline. A pH of 7 is considered neutral on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline). This neutrality means that distilled … [Read more...]
What is the Difference Between Water Purification and Water Distillation?
What is Water Purification? Water purification refers to the process of removing unwanted gases, solids, chemicals, viruses, or biological contaminants from water. What is Distillation? Distillation is a form of water purification, and it is also the most effective as it removes over 99% of … [Read more...]
