distilled water?

[curvekillaz]

I was wondering can deionized water be used instead of distilled water, i already have a di water filtration system in use for another chroming system i have set up and was wondering if this was usable for a triple chrome setup. if not where do i get distilled water from. Thanks

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.

I use a mix of de-ionized and distilled depending on what is available cheaply, I pay about $8 Australian per 20 litres for bulk distilled delivered. Truck turns up and re-fills my 4 20L cubes. If I'm out of distilled and desperate I get de-ionized from the local hardware store at about $1 per litre. It is fine to use de-ionized, just dont use de-mineralised.

Walmart's water is RO water, made right in the store I believe.

RO water is fine to use.

I may be worng here but way not use the water out of your air conditioner coil?? disconnect the drain tube, mine is plastic, its distilled water.

I smelled my dehumidifier water, and it had an "off" odor. I figured it was from all the indoor air pollution. Plus, I smoke a lot. I decided against using it. Other than that, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
