I know monouso means single use or disposable but is there a specific term in English for aqua monouso?

disposable treated water;one use only treated water
Explanation:
L'acqua monouso non esiste. Non hai considerato la virgola.
L'acqua trattata per monouso, si, può essere adibita ad un solo uso, che so, per processo, raffreddamento, irrigazione, e poi buttata a fogna senza altri utilizzi. Chiaro?

Explanation:
I don't think the term "disposable" could be used to describe water in English. What it may refer to is "table water" as it is called: the cheapest kind of water that you will find in restaurants, coffee shops, and especially fast food places, (unless you order it, and then the water brought to you would be bottled, distilled, mineral, etc.)
