Destilled or demineralized water?

Schnitzel · 08-22-2011, 03:18 PM

I hope to get Procede Rev3 and the Vishnu PWM meth kit next week. Today I bought some methanol and now I ask myself if I should buy demineralized or distilled water. Which water do you guys prefer?

tscdennab · 08-22-2011, 03:44 PM

I think it's the same thing. Distilled water has no minerals, and one method to de-mineralize water is via distillation.

CarbonDuc27 · 08-22-2011, 03:49 PM

Distilled has been ..... distilled - boiled and free from impurities. not sure about demineralized though.

I go with distilled for meth and for radiator flush.

I use distilled water and I buy it in 2 gallon jugs at the local supermarket can't go wrong!

Joshboody · 08-22-2011, 04:13 PM

To add to my mixture, sometimes the water doesn't show up though, so I go to the kitchen and use the sink.

I've resorted to the Brita filter.

Do you fit it in the top of the rdiator? COOL

Sniz · 08-22-2011, 08:13 PM

distilled

caradd · 08-22-2011, 08:21 PM

The only pure water with no minerals is reverse osmosis. Use it for my salt water tank and no rinse car wash.

Not true. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and the purest water you can get, as evidenced by analysis, is through proper distillation, which is more than just boiled water and condensed steam.

BerkTechnology · 08-23-2011, 03:16 AM

Distilled here.

Big Tom · 08-23-2011, 04:42 AM

I use water from the tap.
Sweden has one of the absolute best and healthiest tap water in the world and I really think my car likes it to...

enrita · 08-23-2011, 05:28 AM

Battery water here which is distilled.

SpeedOften · 08-23-2011, 05:55 AM

Grade A pure water from work....

Healthy water means that it has the right amount of minerals for the human body. I don't think your engine needs minerals.
