By adding ordinary table salt (NaCl) to distilled water, it becomes a electrolyte* and allows an electrolysis experiment to be performed. The flow of electricity in the liquid will cause bubbles to form on the postively and negatively charged electrodes.
Water is comprised of two elements – hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). At room temperature, both hydrogen and oxygen are gases. Distilled water is pure and free of salts; thus it is a very poor conductor of electricity.

If you want distilled water, NaCl is not added to it. It was distilled to get all things out of it. If you want to make an electrolyte then salt can be added, but distilled means nothing is in it.

So that it is electorlytic. Your body needs electorlites to function properly. When you distill water, all of the salts stay behind.
