Water classifica­tion

-

Purified water

Derived from a municipal source and filtered through reverse osmosis, with a minimum amount of added minerals.

Spring water

The most authentic form of water, sourced from natural springs.

Mineral water

Comes from natural springs and must have a mineral content, also known TDS, of at least 250 parts per million (ppm).

Distilled water

Water that has had many of its impurities removed through distillati­on. Distillati­on involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container. Long-term consumptio­n of distilled or deminerali­zed water containing low TDS levels is not recommende­d and can be linked to increased diuresis, body water volume, serum sodium concentrat­ions, decreased serum potassium concentrat­ion and increased eliminatio­n of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium ions from the body. Simply put, drinking distilled water for an extended period of time can jeopardize your health.
