Why Autoclaves Need Distilled Water
Autoclaves sterilize instruments with steam. When the water has dissolved minerals, those minerals stay behind as the water turns to steam, leaving scale on heating elements, residue in the chamber, and spots on instruments. Over time that can mean more cleaning, more maintenance, and more downtime.
That’s why most autoclave and sterilizer manufacturers call for distilled water, or water that meets a specific purity standard. Some accept deionized or demineralized water; if yours does and you use a lot of it, see our bulk deionized water. Always follow your equipment manual. For more on how the water types differ, read purified vs. distilled water or see our water comparison chart.
Equipment That Commonly Uses Distilled Water
- Dental and medical autoclaves
- Steam sterilizers
- Ultrasonic cleaners, where the manufacturer allows
- Lab and professional-use equipment
- Humidifiers and other steam-based equipment
Why Offices Choose 1-Gallon Jugs
The 1-gallon size is easy to pour into an autoclave reservoir and easy to store in a sterilization area or supply closet. Staff can open one jug at a time and keep the rest sealed until they need it.
- Simple, controlled pouring for small reservoirs
- Fits in cabinets, supply rooms, and shelves
- Lightweight for staff to handle
- Easy to see when it’s time to reorder
Need a larger supply? We also deliver distilled water in 5-gallon bottles.
Recurring Delivery for Your Practice
Instead of sending staff to the store when the last jug runs out, set a regular delivery and keep your sterilization area stocked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do dental autoclaves need distilled water?
Most autoclave and sterilizer manufacturers call for distilled water, or water that meets a specific purity standard, because minerals in tap water build up inside the chamber and reservoir. Always check your equipment manual for the exact requirement.
Why is distilled water used in autoclaves?
Steam distillation removes essentially all minerals and dissolved solids. That helps prevent scale on heating elements, residue in the chamber, and spotting on instruments, and it can reduce maintenance.
Can I use deionized water in my autoclave?
Some manufacturers accept deionized or demineralized water that meets their purity specification, and others specify distilled only. Check your manual. For high-volume facilities that use deionized water, we also offer bulk deionized water in drums and totes.
Why 1-gallon jugs?
1-gallon jugs are easy to pour into an autoclave reservoir, fit in cabinets and sterilization areas, and let staff open one container at a time. We also deliver distilled water in 5-gallon bottles if you’d rather refill a larger container.
How much does distilled water for autoclaves cost?
1-gallon distilled water is $5.75 per 3-pack (about $1.92 per gallon). A 5-gallon bottle is $10.09. See current prices and delivery fees on our pricing page.
How much distilled water should our office order?
It depends on how many autoclaves you run, how many cycles a day, and your reservoir size. Tell us how you use your equipment and we’ll suggest a starting quantity and delivery schedule, then adjust it as needed.
Can we schedule recurring delivery?
Yes. Most practices set a regular weekly or every-other-week delivery so the sterilization area never runs short. You can add or reduce cases anytime.
Do you deliver drinking water to dental offices too?
Yes. We can deliver 5-gallon spring or purified water and coolers for your staff and patients on the same schedule. See our office water delivery service.
