For a coolant flush, thats fine, but storebought distilled water is very poorly distilled. For mixing in situations where impurities are a problem, you can do a far better job with a pot, piece of plastic and rigging up a steam|condensation exchanger.

Gee, someone doesn't run a meth lab. ;D hehehe j/k


true though, get some distilled water, try boiling a cup of it in a super clean pot, if it boils its not pure.

DI water from the millipore is much cleaner, it wouldn't cause metal to rust and it wouldn't leave mineral disposits. have you ever known how PG&E wash there power lines without getting shock?

p.s. distilled water is good, just not as pure.
