Distilled Water Buying Guide

Distilled Water or Demineralized water is technically the purest form of water (H2O), i.e. water without any added salts, minerals, or pathogens. However, unlike the USA and European countries, we do not have a separate segment of potable Distilled water available in stores fit for drinking.

Here are a few methods to determine if the water is in its purest form.

1) Buying from an authorized Pharma Grade Distilled Water Supplier in your City. We do have recommendations for certain cities. Please get in touch with us for the city-specific information.

2) Whenever you buy distilled water, pour some water into a clean cup (a paper cup also works). And smell it for odor. Distilled water is completely Odorless. Specifically, a grassy or pungent odor is an indication of algae/fungi or any other microbial growth. Important is to pour water into a clean cup to smell the odor as the outside of the water container/bottle may also have some odors, which may interfere.

3) Invest in a small water TDS meter (about Rs 200). This would come in handy for measuring the TDS of the distilled water. The TDS should be anything closer to 0 (Zero).  Ideally, it would be Zero, but anything less than 10 TDS is good enough.

4) Check Visually for any suspended solids / fine particulate in the water. Insoluble material will not get detected in TDS.

5) Even after taking all precautions if you are still not convinced, boiling the water would take care of any pathogens if present. UV Treatment works equally good. In any case, we do not recommend adding any chemicals to water as it may alter the water profile.

Hope this Information is Helpful, for any further clarification, feel free to reach out.

How to use Mgic Potion

Mgic Potion is a mineral concentrate. The Pack you have received contains an amber glass bottle with a sealed cap and inner stopper inside. These arrangements keep the bottle leakproof and airtight throughout the transit period.  To make brewing water from Mgic Potion you will need 5L of Distilled Water / Demineralized Water (any water with 0 or close to 0 TDS). In the absence of a good source of Distilled water, we recommend the use of Aquafina Mineral Water, since it has a TDS of less than 10 as claimed by the company itself, also cross-checked by us across different cities. Please follow the steps: Shake the contents of the bottle vigorously for 30 secs. Empty the contents into 5L Distilled Water. Rinse the concentrate bottle with the same water & empty the contents into the same 5L DW. Brewing Water once prepared must be stored in a Cool Dry Place, away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate for Best Results. Source: Aquafina TDS - https://www.aquafina.com/en-US/faq.html "The A

Can you Drink Distilled Water ?

Distilled water is basically steam from boiling water that’s been cooled and returned to its liquid state. There are some people who claim distilled water to be the purest water that one can drink (Blades, 2020) . All water, regardless of where it comes/originates from, whether it is a natural spring, well, tap, or other, will have trace and safe amounts of minerals, bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants.
