If they use RO it's sterile. Pore size on an RO filter is smaller than the diameter of viral particles. Standard RO purification is used for injectable products from pharma.
Ion exchange is much different than RO and should not be lumped in together. Perhaps you are confusing purified water with deionized water? DI water is different than purified and you generally use DI water for chemical experiments. DI water is achieved after passing water across ion exchange resins and does not actually say anything about the purification.

Bottom line - RO is generally considered more sterile than heat distilled. DI is not RO, but water can be both purified and then deionized if necessary.

RO is only as sterile as it's delivery system.Secondly RO is ridiculously wasteful...….I run two water plants and we have fought off RO for several years showing them how much waste is involved.Third good surface water treated properly and delivered with chloramines intact may not be considered sterile but there are no brain eating bugs that can survive in it.

Lastly if you need sterile water buy sterile water but please remember this water was not meant to be ingested,it's primarily used as an irrigant.There is no antimicrobial preservatives in sterile water so the possibility of bacterial growth and pyrogen formation is quite high once opened,all unused contents of the opened container should be discarded.There are some single use containers out there if you look...….I have a couple lab test I perform with sterile water,mine come in 100 ml popper viles at approximately .19 each if you order by the thousand.

Been dealing with sinus congestion and headaches for about 4 days. In the midst of a bad headache I took off to Walgreens to get one of those plastic bottles that come with the salt packets so I could flush my sinuses. Used to have one but, I can’t find it.

So I squirted about 1/3 of a cup up each side. I’ve used them before so I knew I’d have vertigo for a few minutes afterwards. I felt like I was in the matrix. Seems I was rotating on a least 4 axis at the same time. I grabbed the countertop and hung on for what felt like an eternity when in reality it was a minute or so. But, my headache is gone so it was worth the magic carpet ride.

And my nose is so big people ask if they can stand under it when it rains....
