Book 1, Number 0066:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
The people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): Can we perform ablution out of the well of Buda'ah, which is a well into which menstrual clothes, dead dogs and stinking things were thrown? He replied: Water is pure and is not defiled by anything.
Who said that the presence (or lack thereof) of microbial matter is what makes the water pure or impure in the context of Islaam? When we discuss taharah (purity) or najasah (impurity), we're referring to something different than what you're probably thinking of. We're not referring to distilled water. We're referring to water that is, on its own, pure/purifying as opposed to impure water (water in which substances that are considered impure in Islaam alter the color/smell/taste of water).
From what I understand, if we have pure water splashed on us, we don't have to wash it off in order to perform prayers. If we have impure water splashed on us, we need to remove it in order to perform prayers.
Here is the previous hadith (from muslim site)
Book 1, Number 0063:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), was asked about water (in desert country) and what is frequented by animals and wild beasts. He replied: When there is enough water to fill two pitchers, it bears no impurity.
