Yes, according to the document provided, purified water is a type of filtered water. Purified water can be produced by various processes such as reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization. All these processes aim to reduce the presence of impurities and contaminants in the water, making it safer for drinking. Filtered water, on the other hand, is simply water that has been filtered to remove contaminants. It may not necessarily be considered "pure" as it can still contain small amounts of impurities. However, most bottled water sold in supermarkets is alreadyfiltered and can be considered as a form of purified water. The key difference between the two lies in the additional steps involved in the purification process of filtered water, which often includes removing beneficial minerals and electrolytes that are left behind during the reverse osmosis or distillation process.
