I'll reply to you Asif, and is also a reply to you Nenah, Thanks.
I did some googling before asking the question but the mistake I made when
asking the question here was listing those as separate entities. Several
suppliers I googled in the UK have DW in large print on the label - but - in
fine print below it also states Demin and Deionised, in other words the water
is all three?
I'd be thinking if it's listed as all three, i.e.
Distilled-Demineralised-Deionised it would then be produced using RO would it
not? RO removes everything from the water doesn't it? Why would they list it
as Distilled *and* Demineralised *and* Deionised on the same label and not just
list it as RO water on the label?
Sorry for the questions but am trying to help someone out here. DW apparently
is not available in the UK, well not as I know it as available in Supermarkets
here in Australia, and with DW printed on the label only, in the UK it
seemingly always incorporates the other two. If this is the case, is this
water OK for making EIS? I'm thinking it would be OK, but RO water may take a
week to become conductive enough for electrolysis to occur, if you get my
drift. I mean there has to be "some" impurities in the water for electrolysis
to happen.
I suggested the individual get Pure water from a Supermarket or chemist shop,
so Asif, Pure water IS available in chemist shops in the UK? Yes/No? Or is it
the Distilled+Demineralised+Deionised water they use, the same which can be
bought at..."Halfords" is it?
Perhaps this is why I see this water as being so expensive in the UK, it's
actually RO water and not just Distilled *or* Demineralised *or* Deionised. We
can buy Distilled and/or Demin water here as separate products {never seen
Deionised though}. I'd be thinking RO water would constitute all three?
Perhaps if the aforesaid water is no good, and this individual wishes to get
involved with EIS, a home distiller is the only option?

I've only been successful with double distilled in the UK
Demin and ro not worked at all

I would be thinking it's OK, it will just take longer to brew a batch perhaps.
I don't think a home distiller is an option here either.
