Pom Michael Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Define Distilled Water In chemical and biological laboratories, as well as industry, cheaper alternatives such as deionized water are preferred. However, if these alternatives are not sufficiently pure, distilled water is used. Where exceptionally high purity water is required, double distilled water is used. Distilled water is also commonly used to top up lead acid batteries used in cars and trucks. The presence of other ions commonly found in tap water will cause a drastic reduction in its lifespan. Using distilled water in steam irons for pressing clothes can help reduce mineral build-up and make the iron last longer. However, many iron manufacturers say that distilled water is no longer necessary in their irons.[citation needed] Some people use distilled water for household aquariums because it lacks the chemicals found in tap water supplies. It is important to supplement distilled water when using it for fishkeeping; it is too pure to sustain proper chemistry to support an aquarium ecosystem. So, do you want it for the car battery, drinking water or an industrial purpose? Actually, not that it matters as I couldn't tell you where to buy it at anyways!

elef Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Distilled water is not good for drinking - even if they say that Mae West used it most of her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exileexpat Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 You can buy distilled water in Tesco.. It comes in 1 liter cheap plastic bottles (similar to the 5B water 1l drinking water bottles) They come in a package of 6 and are usually found in the automotive section. Presume for Battery topup. Alternatively you can get some at science lab equipment sales place like suksapan, Gammaco or Intellect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit2dos Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Distilled water is not good for drinking - even if they say that Mae West used it most of her life. My friend has a home distiller and it is all he drinks. It is delicious water. Distilling removes all impurities. Why do you say it is not good for drinking?

pe7e Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 It's absolutley flat and tastless and if compared to UK tap water your teeth will suffer more rot (no flouride), but it can't do you any actual harm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
