DISTILLED FILTRATION

Uses of Distilled Water

Medical & Dental Uses

Having zero particulates, Distilled water is perfect for use in sterile environments like medical facilities, hospitals and dentist offices.

Medical Equipment: Distilled water is imperative for medical equipment to work correctly. There will be no residue or mineral buildup with distilled water, which could damage the machines or cause health issues with patients. Distilled water ensures the safety and long term use in these sterile environments.

Pre-Surgery Scrubbing: Considering the safety of a patient prior to surgery, all surgeons will scrub and wash their hands to be free of germs and bacteria. Using tap water still runs a risk of contaminants harmful to the patient so it’s recommended Surgeons scrub with Distilled water to prevent bacteria from getting under the skin.

Cuts or Gashes: Using distilled water will prevent further infection or bacteria growth.

Dentistry: Dentists not only rely on distilled water for cleaning out bacteria from their patient’s mouth, but also sterilize their tools with machines that can only use distilled water.

LAB TESTING

Experiments require a level of precision and exactness to prove their theories. When water is involved, labs will used distilled water to make sure contaminants and minerals don’t negatively impact the outcome of the experiment.

CPAP MACHINES

CPAP machines are used at night by people with issues of sleep apnea which is a disorder where one stops breathing when asleep. This disorder leads to sleepless nights, so the machine was invented to assist people with breathing. The machine pressurizes air, so when a patient sleeps the machines keep their airway open preventing the loss of breath. A key component to the machine is adding moisture to the air which requires the use of water. Distilled water is required to prevent the growth of bacteria and minerals building up in the machine.

HUMIDIFIERS

The advantage of using a Humidifier is to add moisture to a room or home, especially in areas with cold winters or for those who have allergy issues. By adding moisture to a room, it reduces dry skin, helps keep sinuses clear and even assists those who snore. If you don’t use distilled water, you run a higher risk of shortening the life span of the machine through the buildup of minerals and bacteria.

CANNING FOODS

If you don’t use distilled water, your food could look cloudy and even spoil. However, with distilled water, your fruit and vegetables retain their vibrant color, flavor, and nutritional value.
