Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner


I have a kLaudio lp200 ultrsonic record cleaner

I recall a few comments on reading threads about some special high grade distilled water

i can't seem to find anything via an audiogon search
klaudio says plain distilled is what they use

woukd anyone like to chime in with recommended top grade distilled waters
what properties make these special water brands stand out and the advantage to the sound of the records

a link or two would help

on a side note Klaudio is having a sale on their silencer and I went ahead and bought one
anybody using this silencer?

thanks

wow that's quite a story

I drank a little just for kicks the other day.

guess it cleaned out the pipes

I hate to rain impure water on this parade, but I have to ask the following question:

If you go for lab or reagent grade water in the context of an ultrasonic RCM, will it be lab/reagent grade after the first record is cleaned (even if you pre-clean) your records? Does that mean you should change the water in your tank after every record cleaning cycle?

At some point, it’s about very, very good and not perfect (this, from someone who embraces the benefits of ultrasonic RCMs).

you should have a hose that constantly is giving a transfusion drip

and a drain out the bottom

not only every record but as the record spins


one cycle and it is removed


drill a hole in your brick to outside to drain the contaminated water

and you might as well have a still lab of reagent water for constant generation

the level regulators must be very faulty on both draining and filling the pristine water for best results



I wonder how this would hold up with new or mint records - not



I hereby declare the removed detritus inert!


off with all of you!



ps - for the record TIm at Klaudio says to use simple distilled water - it’s worked fine
