deionized
Stripped of minerals
Deionized describes water or another substance from which ions have been removed, typically through a purification process using ion-exchange resins.
Deionized water lacks the dissolved minerals found in tap water, making it useful in laboratories, electronics manufacturing, and applications where mineral deposits would cause problems: Use deionized water to fill the steam iron.
