Distillation has been used for purifying water, including sea water, for thousands of years. Until the 70s, purifying water by distillation was a common way of making water clean for drinking. This method, used in the past in many individual homes, is now used much less in the developed countries, since the new filters are proving more effective and practical. One of the main criticisms of using distilling for purifying water is the fact that the water becomes too pure. The process removes absolutely everything from the water, including the beneficial minerals we need for good health.

Distillation is mostly used today to produce water for industry or labs, where perfectly pure water is a necessity.
