Although tap water is basically safe to drink, it has gone through various
processes to ensure its safety by the addition of several different chemicals.
Pure drinking water is water that has been produced by reverse osmosis or
deionization. The water may have come from a spring, a well or a public com-
munity supply, but is purified to make it safe to drink. It contains only certain
beneficial minerals.
Distilled water is produced by boiling water until it evaporates and is then
recondensed. It contains no solids or minerals, and has no taste. Spring water
is drawn directly from a natural flow to the surface of an underground aquifer.
It is then filtered to remove any fine clay and impurities and then sterilized to
be bacteria free when bottled.
Natural spring water, on the other hand, is much rarer and is drawn directly
