purified water

Contaminant-free drinking liquid

Purified water is water that has been processed to remove impurities—minerals, chemicals, and contaminants.

The term appears on bottled water labels and in pharmaceutical contexts where water purity matters: Use purified water to mix the formula.

Distilled water and filtered water are types of purified water, each using different methods to achieve cleanliness.
