Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner

@whart I looked it up also.  I picked up a used LP200 a few months ago and downloaded the manual from the KLAudio web site.  Since the unit has been discontinued for some time, it is sure to be the most current version of the manual.  It clearly says to use distilled water.

I think @grooves is Mike Fremer. Or his doppelgänger. Mike?

I just checked my Klaudio manual and it also states distilled water only.

A 6-year long discussion about water.  Would that our politicians were nearly as obsessed with clean water as are audiophiles.  Distilled water ought to be fine, might even be overkill.  Filtered tap water, to remove macro sized particulates, would probably also be as good.  Another factor in the outcome is how you dry the LPs.  Vacuum suction would seem to go a long way to removing any "dirt" in the water used to clean, but air drying would leave such stuff on the surface of the LP.  Probably most of that would be too large to sit down in the grooves.  Thom made a good point about once-used water.

Well we know the ones in Michigan are not.
