Regular water can be deionized by running it thru an activated charcoal filter, its still not pure or pathogenically safe to drink. Deionized water means it has been given an equal number of H+ and OH- ions ,in other words its neutral in the PH scale. Distilled water is usually made PH neutral (deionized) by passing it thru an activated charcoal filter. The SEARS distiller does that. Deionization does not make water safe to drink or clean, distilling will make the water clean (pure) and safe to drink ( sterile). There were postings on PH. They can be reposted if anyone wants them.
