Deionized water has had its dissolved minerals removed, and it is used where even trace minerals cause problems — labs, manufacturing, and cleaning. The system needs special plumbing because DI water is aggressive.
The process
Ion-exchange resin beds swap the dissolved minerals for hydrogen and hydroxide ions, producing very pure water that resists leaving scale or spots.
The plumbing
DI water corrodes ordinary metal pipe, so the distribution lines use plastics or lined materials that can take the pure water.
The quality
The purity is measured by resistivity, and the system regenerates or replaces the resin as the quality drops.
The use
Labs, electronics, and precise cleaning are the main users. In Decatur, facilities often pair DI with reverse osmosis to extend the resin life.
The monitoring
A resistivity meter shows the water quality in real time, and the resin is regenerated or replaced when it drops. Monitoring beats guessing.
