Default Re: distilled water?

You can buy distilled water almost anywhere, grocerystores, discount stores, Wal-mart sells distilled water also but theirs is probably from CHINA LOL

You can distill your own water easy if you want to, just boil water and condense the steam.
An old pressure cooker works good, take off the pressure gauge and connect some copper tubing. Boil the water using heat of your choice ( kitchen stove, wood fire outdoors, bar-b-que grill, etc...) cool the copper coil and catch the water dripping out. If your not boiling too fast the coil should air cool nicely to condense the water, if not a small fan blowing over the coil normally works nicely.
Durring winter I distill allot of my own water on the wood burner I use for heating the house.

Don't know if deionized water could used instead of distilled water or not myself.
