Have any of you tried to buy distilled water lately?
$10 a gallon on Amazon and wal-mart online, none available in stores. I am just going to make my own, but WTF?
It doesn’t require anything special to manufacture.

seems really odd.

Couple of things, the medical devices that I rep use them to control calcification, and my wife uses a cpap.

CPAP = lots of new people with lung issues have => need distilled water for cleaning

have a gallon yet i don't use it much, mostly for cleaning glass. isopropyl alcohol 1:10 distilled water makes the best glass cleaner.. ratios can vary for crud level be careful with use on plastic and rubber. rubbing alcohol was difficult to get for a while. looks like my second ingredient is on the hard to find list now. Distilled water is also nice to use straight on microfiber for cleaning computer screens.

Yeah, for $100. Or I can put a pot in a pot.

Probably being stored underground at the national TP reserve.

Sounds like a prequel to Dune

We use it for our espresso machine. Well water doesn't play well with our machine.

Water softener?

Water softener?

Not hard enough to justify. Our Breville Barista is really finicky when it comes to water quality.

See, here in Pennsyltucky the water is hard enough it's sometimes rocks coming out of the faucet

We go through enough distilled water I have considered purchasing a distiller.

Here it's hit or miss. You can have shitty eggy stinky water or wonderful nice clear tasteless water. Fortunately we have the latter. I still need to do the complete water test on our new well to see mineral content. If we're lucky, the hardness will be low enough to ditch the distilled water.

When we tested our water, the hardness was like 17 gpg

For the last 15 years I have put a reverse osmosis, 4 stage filtration system under the kitchen sink of every house/RV I have owned, super worth it.

We bought one of these bad ////////Larry's when we were living in a cabin with Sulphur water in the early 2000s but I know I sure as funk didn't pay that much for it...

It's been mothballed for a decade+ after buying our house in BZN, but I broke it out last year when my mom got on the CPAP train...

The thing is built like a (non-Russian) tank and will likely survive nuclear annihilation

I will make you one.

We have something like that at work, I drink the tap water because it has liquid chemtrails to keep my teeth healthy.

I need some distilled alcohol.

High calcium content?
Great for brewing some kinds of beers.
