Do you know anyone who uses a dehumidifier?
They chuck the stuff away.

Just visit any hardware shop and buy deionised water used in steam irons.

[Gazjam]

Deionized is different though?

Wee bit of research, found this place, free delivery.
2 x 5L bottles for £9. £22-30 elsewhere.
Sorted.

De-ionised water is purer than distilled water, but not worth worrying about.

I use the water butt in the garden.Steam irons and m/c ,car batteries ,not given any bother for the last 40 years.:D
Batteries don't last long enough to make a difference,IMO..

When I mix "The Right One" vinyl cleaner I use six way purified, the process uses reverse osmosis, steam distillation and de-ionisation with an audited less that 1ppm residual impurities. Most batches come certified as zero ppm. I also use medical grade chemistry, this is the only way to get the records pristine and keep them that way. I wouldn't use anything less on my own records either.

Can you point us to where to get that stuff? I use it for a medical apparatus I need as well as records, and the distilled I've been getting isn't all that good IMO.

Hi Jay,

I buy it in by the 100 litre pallet load, but it comes in 25 litre bottles if you can pick it up from west London, I can sell you 25 litres if you're interested PM me and I'll give you a price

Cheers

Halfords battery top up water is 70ppm de ionised, it is not steam distilled, it is less pure than the feed water used to make proper 1ppm distilled water. If you want to put that muck on your records feel free...... :lol:

Marine tropical fish shops will sell RO water quite cheaply.

Typically reverse osmosis systems leave 15-30ppm of minerals in the water, just not good enough.

Ahh well, learn something new. :)
