Hi, Distilled water may or may not be "clean" of organics, since they may be carried over with the steam; in fact this is a common method used to separate organic compounds from each other and their mother liquids. Reverse Osmosis also has shortcomings, in that a few dissolved mineral salts can be pushed through the membrane "in solution", especially the cheaper membranes.
For RO water the way to go is to pass the water through a de-ionization cartridge after the reverse osmosis. At that point you'll have Lab quality water, about an order of magnitude (ten times) better than anything you are likely to buy in a gallon jug in the grocery. Soo, de-ionization is not a treatment in itself, unless you just want "soft" water, and distillation can be done well, or not-so-well. The Only way to be sure is to test the water with something like a Hanna PWT or the Com 100 water conductivity meters or their equivalent. An alternative might be to find a "compounding pharmacy" and buy pure water from them. Take care, Malcolm On Mon, 2009-07-13 at 13:57 -1000, Smitty wrote: > >Use distilled water only.
