    Default URGENT: Where do I get distilled water

    Hi,

    Where do I get distilled water for mixing with BMW coolant? I searched around Advanced auto parts does not carry it; walmart does not carry it. Where do I go?

    Thanks for viewing the thread,
    Arun

    Check out the beverage isle at your local grocery store.

    Glacier water, then.

    "Grocery store" is the universal answer. Goldenone hit it.

    hi,

    distilled water is basicly just normal water boiled and cooled down. so the stuf in your kettel should do nicely!

    Knew there was something weird about that, but I'm no physicist.

    Distilled water has no, or very few, elements in it...stuff that conducts electricity and otherwise promotes corrosion of aluminum parts. EDIT: elements? what the heck am I saying...of course it has elements in it.

    Distilled water is cheap and readily available in the US. Cost me two or three dollars for five gallons when I DIY'd. Most shops I know actually have machines to distill water. We have a huge tank.

    best, whit

    go back to walmart and tell the people to eat $hit and die, of course they have it.

    jeff, i doubt that whole "water not boiling" thing will work with the distilled. they just stairstep the contaminants out. the only water i've been able to play tricks with is de-ionised water. of course, i've had de-ionised water play tricks with my gastrointestinal tract when i drank it.
