deionized vs distilled water?

[jalyst]

I have a high end R/O system that makes it better then distilled.

Confused.....
How can you make that claim when there's greatly varying grades of distilled?
Same for R/O too...

Are you saying better than run-of-the-mill "supermarket grade" distilled?
If so what measurements are we talking?

Cheers

Could be, but the machines used to de-ionize the water is about $30k each. The filter alone is $5k. Maybe the prices are not the same since I cam comparing this against lab grade stuff. I figured whoever is selling this stuff better get some money back.

Yeah there's no doubt the high-end gear is pricey for both processes.
From what I've read, DI is not quite as Labor intensive/energy consuming.
Both can still get extremely technical/pricey set-ups/gear...
