FYI...
DI isnt a process used in household water filtration systems. Nor, for about 99% of DI usage, is it even considered safe for human consumption unless it is specifically, specified for human consumption.
DI water isn’t necessarily pure water, given the de-ionization procedure. Non-ionic contaminants may still persist. Electrically polar molecues dissolve easily in water, and some complicated molecules have polar ends and non-polar ends, which can help non-polar stuff (like oils) mix in water. But its claim to fame in the automotive and aircraft world is, that it is electrically non-conductive... and that is why it is sought after in cooling systems that contain water. It's anti corrosive properties are its benifit. This is especially important is systems that employ dis-similar metals... like that of some power train set-ups using aluminum with some cast iron elements.
