No, you should not drink industrial or medical Water for Injection (WFI) straight from a laboratory or manufacturing supply system, even though it is chemically pure. WFI is specifically produced, stored, and distributed under sterile, non-pyrogenic conditions strictly intended for pharmaceutical manufacturing, drug reconstitution, and intravenous medical administration. Because it lacks essential dissolved minerals that give drinking water its taste and electrolytic balance, and because standard industrial WFI packaging or piping systems are not meant for general human consumption, drinking it offers no health benefits and can expose you to contamination risks if the handling systems are compromised.
