Tap water and distilled water are chemically the same

Tap water is directly supplied from the home faucet, while distilled water is water taken from any source that has gone through a distillation process. Tap water contains compounds, such as iron, chlorine, magnesium and natural minerals, that either are added by the public water system or have gotten in the water supply. Distilled water is in its purest form, with no bacteria or inorganic compounds.
