Distilled versus purified

What is the difference in distilled water compared to purified water? If I only have purified will it hurt me to breathe it in?

  1. That's a great question! They are very similar, as both are free of many contaminants that can be harmful to your health and to your CPAP machine. The main difference is that distilled water is free of all minerals, whereas purified water still contains some minerals (which can be healthy for consumption but can lead to mineral buildup in your CPAP machine and supplies)
