Answer:

Distilled water goes through distillation, while purified water is processed by other means (reverse osmosis, sand filtration, ion exchange, etc.). ... Since both purified and distilled water have a PPM no higher than 2, this makes both types of water equally great for your body

Answer:

Distilled water - water that is a type of purified water that has had both contaminants and minerals removed.

Purified water - water that has been filtered or processed to remove impurities like chemicals and other contaminants. It is usually produced using groundwater or tap water.

Tap water - water supplied to a tap (valve). Its uses include drinking, washing, cooking, and the flushing of toilets.
