Here’s the good news: Neither is dangerous. If you accidentally chug a gallon of distilled water, you won’t explode. You might just feel a bit weird. Purified water is exactly what it sounds like—clean, safe, and ready to party.
Your tap water is probably fine too, by the way. But if you live in an area where it tastes like a swimming pool’s leftovers, these are your backup dancers.
Bottom line? Purified water is for living your life. Distilled water is for doing chores. Pick your fighter wisely.
