Hi folks,
This article sort of confirms my unease at using distilled water for
anything except car radiatiors and irons. :-)
http://www.mercola.com/2002/may/8/distilled_water.htm
Distilled water leaches from any container - even glass - and years ago was
implicated in problems by leaching from "hi quality" glass, which has a
high lead content.
At my local Supermarket, all the distilled water is in plastic!
My own research tends to show that there is NO safe level of
petroleum-plastics contamination.

This quote from the above Site refers to a Scientific Official Testing
Laboratory results and a discussion with the head of that facility:
QUOTE: He said the secret was the low voltage and the fish pump. I thought
it was due to more oxygen in the water. He stated it was because of the
introduction of carbon dioxide, explaining in chemical terms which were
over my head. The fish pump is 100% vital to the process.
ENDQUOTE
So, at the end of the day, my confusion grows:
1. The lower voltage question. ( I have 4 leftover converters all put out
either 12vDC or 30vDC
2. The bubbling thing - a fishtank bubbler - good idea it seems.
3. The H2O BIG question. I must say, I would prefer to use a "pure water"
but what the heck is THAT?
Cheers?
John
