Sterile water is a type of purified water. It’s similar to distilled water, but with one key difference: it’s less pure because it contains inorganic substances. Sterile water has several applications in health and medicine, chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

TYPE II Also known as general laboratory grade water, Type II water has a high level of purity and is often used for standard applications, tests, and procedures. This type of water can be produced through reverse osmosis and ion exchange which involves the removal of synthetic resins, which are replaced by hydrogen or hydroxyl ions.

Sterility is a property of water while distilled water is the type of water produced by the distillation process of water treatment. When applied to water, the word sterile means that there are no viable (able to reproduce) bacteria, viruses or any other type of viable microorganism present.

Distilled water is one of the purest forms of bottled water suitable for drinking. Boiling water kills most bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. This significantly reduces your chances of catching a waterborne illness. Because distilled water is recondensed from steam, most remaining microbes and most chemical impurities are also removed.
