Answer

Chemically pure water is not necessarily potable water because potable water must be free from harmful microorganisms, parasites, toxic chemicals and pollutants. It should also be clear, odourless and safe for regular drinking. Hence, chemically pure water is not called potable unless it is safe for human consumption.
