Water Deionization FAQs

What is water deionization?

Deionization is a water treatment process that removes mineral salt contaminants from water. Specifically, the purification process removes cations, such as calcium, copper, iron, sodium ions, and anions such as bromide and chloride. Deionization systems utilizes ion exchange resins to effectively remove dissolved solids from water and purify potentially contaminated water. The resins bind with any mineral salts in the liquid to separate them from water, so that only clean water leaves the tank.

How do mobile water deionization systems work?

Mobile water deionization systems use ion exchange resins to remove dissolved solids from water. Chambers are filled with ion resin and separated by ion-exchange membranes. Water flows through a bed of resin beads that have positive or negative charges. Positively charged resin attracts and traps negative anions, while negatively charged resin attracts and traps positive cations. The resin then releases hydrogen ions in exchange for the cations and hydroxide ions in exchange for the anions. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions then combine to form water. All that remains is water molecules, which is why deionized water has a reputation for being one of the purest forms of water.

What is the difference between deionized water and distilled water?

Distilled water is not the same as deionized water. Distilled water is water that has been heated to its boiling point, causing any impurities to evaporate. The resulting vapor is then condensed back into a liquid, leaving behind any contaminants. This process of distillation can be used to produce drinking water, as well as water for other purposes.

Water that has been distilled is completely free of contaminants and minerals, making it ideal for use in pharmaceuticals or by people with sensitive skin or allergies. Because of its purity, distilled water can be stored for an extended period of time, ensuring safe water for use.

Deionized (DI) water is distilled water from which all contaminants have been removed. This results in the removal of dissolved minerals and salts. Deionized water is not the same as distilled water, which has had all its impurities removed through a distillation process.

Most commercial and manufacturing industries use deionized water to avoid the potential of sediment buildup that could affect the longevity of their equipment. And because DI water does not conduct electricity, it can be used safely in electrical applications.
