JamesHe Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes, Distilled water is the purest water we have easy access. Just cost much more than RO water if you have RO unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amyers22 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 It only cost me 88 cents a gallon which is what I pay for RO. At my lfs RO is $1 a gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpy Daddy Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Can I use distilled water instead of RO and then remineralize it? Yes you can. If the distilled water is made by a good manufacturer, it is as pure as a water can get. To test this, measure the TDS and you should get 0 - 1 TDS. Do note that some distilled water has a little preservative (liquid or gas form) in it, but it is not a big issue if you pre-mix and circulate for 24 hours as per my Revive Bianco's instruction.
