Distilled water is used in autoclaves because it is free from impurities and minerals that could cause scaling and deposits on the autoclave's internal components, ensuring efficient heat transfer and prolonging the equipment's lifespan. Using distilled water also helps maintain the sterility of the items being autoclaved, as it prevents contamination from minerals and other substances that may be present in tap water.
