deionized vs distilled water?

[iandh]

I live in Finland and the only place I've seen you can buy distilled is the pharmacy for like 10 Euro / liter.
I can only find "battery water" and "purified water" wich I belive is de ionized.
It says 10us on the bottle, is that okay for a watercooling loop with nothing but silver?
Or should I look for something else?

That should be just fine.

Good quality distilled or deionized should be < 1µS, but there are different grades of deionized

I recently purchased six brands of distilled here in the states for an experiement, the best one measured 0.3µS, and the worst was 22.5µS.

The average was somewhere between 0.5µS and 1.5µS.


To be honest, < 10µS is still reasonably clean. It isn't completely ideal, but is plenty clean enough to not cause trouble in your loop.
