The trouble is Ode, that here in the UK the distilled water is not so good, even the stuff you get in the chemist which is pretty expensive too. My friend makes her CS and she was buying from the chemist, but the silver came out pale yellow so she then had to get a distiller. Mind you, it may not have been de-ionised water so I will check. But knowing UK prices it will probably be expensive. Thanks for your input. Dee

Check by the "Chemist" for de-ionized water. I've heard that auto parts stores sell distilled water for topping off car batteries in the UK "Not for human consumption" is due to its not having been sterilize with Ozone or Peroxide, but making the CS will sterilize it, no problem.
