Distilled Water

[Sean]

2.5l De-ionised water, ?1 Asda.

Bargain mate need some ill pop there today

[Gary]

Is de-ionised water and distilled water not different?

[Nightwingvyse]

De-ionized has done fine with me. You can get it anywhere.

[Maxsi]

A difference in the production process, but does the same job.
De ionised water can have less impurities than distilled. (I read somewhere)

[RickMG]

Is it used by everyone for some thing?

Sorry, just saw this reply to my post. Well, for one every person who uses and iron for their clothes uses distilled water. Any equipment you have that uses water you'd want to use distilled. My sleep apnia C-pap machine for instance. Distilled water keeps everything from gunking up when you use it in the place of tap water. Run it through your coffee maker when done with it to keep it clean.

More importantly, if you have a humidor you want to use it.

I notice most of the distilled water from cigar websites and tobacco shops claim to have magical anti-fungal properties.

What are these anti-funal properites? how does it differ from just nipping into halfords and buying 5 litres of stuff without the so called anti funal stuff?

[Sligub]

It contains some Propylene Glycol which is good for some humidifiers but terrible for beads.

Luckily I sell 25L drums of de-mineralised water at work, so taking home half a litre when needed is not a problem, they cost me ?4, if anybody's ever after any I am in Surrey and you can help yourself!

It contains some Propylene Glycol which is good for some humidifiers but terrible for beads.

Can we add the Pro Glycol to the Halfords De-Ionised water? What percentage and is it easily available? Anti-freeze?

Anyone know any nationwide retailers (supermarkets, chemists that sort of thing) that sell distilled water so I don't have to pay ridiculous postage charges on the web?

I get my distilled from regaent.co.uk which unfortunately has the high postage charges you mention but until supermarkets etc start selling the stuff its either ionised water or paying over the odds

[PeeJay]

Isn't the stuff produced by tumble drier condensers the same, mine produces pints of it and it says not to drink it but okay for irons etc

[Deano]

Loads on amazon guys, if you can't be bothered to go to Halfords!

[rich]

Any motor factor should stock it. I went to eurocarparts or something.

I have the opposite problem with my humidor now though - I cant keep the levels down for some reason?!! Wants to stick around 75 for some reason.

[Deano]

10L jerry can if you can't be bothered to move!
