Deionized water is simply water with all the ions removed... this makes this type of water very hungry, so to speak. Like distilled water which has no trace elements or minerals whatsoever, D/I water actually seeks out its missing ions. This water is largely used for laboratory experiments and saltwater aquariums. It certainly should not be consumed on a long-term basis.
"Deionized water is an usually pure form of water. Water actually is a very aggressive solvent. In our normal contact with water, it already has a lot of things dissolved in it, and is pretty tame. Deionized water is so aggressive that it will begin to attack metal, plastic, or even stainless steel. It will dissolve carbon dioxide in the air. If someone was to drink deionized water, it would have the opposite effect of a vitamin, drawing out the minerals and vitamins in your body. It is common knowledge that drinking deionized water is harmful (Lee Thorson, 2010)."
Hi Terence, Great post! Your information is very helpful. Keep it up!
ReplyDeletePremiere produced Deionized Water System by removing the dissolved salt in water. This technology heavy metals are removed from the water as all. Deionized water is as pure, if not more pure than distilled water. No chemical or hazardous waste is produced with a deionized water system.
