This process, called distillation, removes most of the impurities and minerals present in tap water or natural water sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%;\">What is reverse osmosis demineralized water<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%;\">Water demineralized through the reverse osmosis process is a type of water that passes through a semipermeable membrane under pressure. Without pressure, this process is impossible. The pores of the reverse osmosis membrane are approximately 0.0001 microns in size, which is why pressure is necessary. This water is demineralized, and most contaminants are flushed into the sewer along with a certain amount of water called concentrate. The filtration percentage depends on the type of contaminant and can range from 50% to 99.99991%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%;\">Which of the two types of water has better quality? Distilled or demineralized?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%;\">Theoretically, distilled water has the highest purity. But this is not always the case. In the tests conducted by us with a <a href=\"https:\/\/azura.ro\/en\/product-2\/digital-tds-tester\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TDS meter<\/a>, for this article and to highlight the difference between the two types of water, I found that distilled water purchased from stores had a higher charge than demineralized water from a home reverse osmosis system. It was an interesting and unpleasant finding because distilled water normally has higher purity, and I wanted to demonstrate this with images. But it wasn't possible. So in the pictures highlighted in this article, the demineralized water with reverse osmosis has a higher purity than the distilled water purchased from stores. However, normally, this is not the norm. The norm is for distilled water to have higher purity than demineralized water.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-64079 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-demineralizata-rotated.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-demineralizata-rotated-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"demineralized water\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-64085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-demineralizata-rotated-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-demineralizata-rotated-510x680.jpg 510w, https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-demineralizata-rotated-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-demineralizata-rotated.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-64085'>\n\t\t\t\tDemineralized water 2 ppm\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-distilata-rotated.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-distilata-rotated-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"distilled water\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-64086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-distilata-rotated-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-distilata-rotated-510x680.jpg 510w, https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-distilata-rotated-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azura.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/apa-distilata-rotated.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-64086'>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is distilled 24 ppm\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
