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 think they mean. It was demin/ro to start with and then distilled.* 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? *pure water is similar to water for injections which is usually just demin or RO... I looked into this to avoid having to distill and also for alternatives to distill ing when abroad* 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? *double distilled water is easily available on eBay here with out issue. Delivered of course... But it is expensive.... Best to buy a distiller* N. Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 01:16:18 +0100 Subject: Re: CS>Distilled/Demin/Deionised/RO water?

Apparently the only water available in the UK are those mentioned above, is it OK to use this water for making EIS? 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. Thanks N.
