Nenah: Purity does matter, as does understanding the concentration involved. Potassium Hydroxide at high concentrations is also known as lye.
Potassium Hydroxide at industrial strengths is very dangerous. Bases can be just as dangerous as acids. http://www.ionlight.com/water/waterarticles/SangWhang/degenerative.html CanCell was one of the big promoters of such an alkaline base water. I've never had to research into purity issues or concentration strengths. At the higher levels of concentration, a single drop might be too much for a gallon of distilled water... One would need a digital PH meter ( they are not too expensive ) and apply caution with determining the strength to use if using any product that was not prepared specifically for internal use.
