You want to use DISTILLED WATER - any of the chain autoparts stores should have it in gallons. Mineral water has, well, minerals. Distilled water has close to all removed. Mineral water will corrode the cooling system and cause scale build-up. 1/8" of scale has the same insulating factor as 4" of iron - you do not want that.

No. Tap water or distilled water has no nutrients or minerals that a plant needs. If you leave a plant with just distilled water, it will effectively 'starve' love MeganX321 :)


Is distilled water a good insulator?

Distilled water is not a good insulator as it still contains some ions that can conduct electricity. It has a low conductivity compared to tap water but is not a perfect insulator.


How long is distilled water good for before it expires?

Distilled water does not expire, as long as it is stored properly in a clean, sealed container.


Is distilled water good for car radiators?

Distilled water IS good for radiators. In fact, manufacturers recommend using nothing but distilled water to mix with antifreeze. Tap water contains minerals, which can promote corrosion. So tap water should be used in a cooling system only in case of an emergency.


Use of distilled water?

Most common uses of distilled water are, >On cars batterries. >On steam irons. >And mostly in hospitals. Distilled water is used because its clean and does harms stuff,unlike tap water.

Can people drink distilled water?

Distilled water has already been boiled so you do not have to do it again. Distilled water has all impurities already removed.


Can purified water be used in place of distilled water?

Battery charging depletes hydrogen ions in both lead-acid batteries and Edison batteries. This reduces the liquid levels, because the hydrogen turns to a gas and dissipates into the atmosphere. This needs to be replaced with distilled water. When the hydrometer indicates the acid density has dropped below 1.2 (20% heavier than water) then the acid needs to be replaced in the battery.


Is plain water good for liquid batteries?

no only distilled water should be used.
