What is Pure water?

Pure water is like a clear, empty glass, it has nothing extra in it.

Imagine you have a big, clean cup full of water. This is pure water, just water, no sugar, no juice, no dirt, and no clouds floating around inside it. It's as simple as that.

What Makes Water "Pure"?

When we say something is pure, it means it’s not mixed with anything else. So pure water is water in its most basic form, nothing added or taken away. You can think of it like a blank piece of paper: there are no crayon marks on it, just white space.

How We Get Pure Water

Sometimes water isn’t pure, it might be cloudy or taste different because tiny bits of dirt or minerals are floating around in it. To make it pure again, we can filter it, like using a strainer to catch all the little pieces so only clear water comes through.

So next time you drink from a clean glass, think about how simple and special pure water really is! Pure water is like a clear, empty glass, it has nothing extra in it.
