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

The amount of misinformation in this thread is INCREDIBLE but not surprising. The KLAUDIO instructions specify NO DISTILLED WATER. It recommends either TAP or bottled water, though there’s reverse osmosis that’s demineralized (Aquafina) and R.O. that had minerals added back (Dasani). The instructions are not sufficiently clear when they say “bottled water” but DEFINITELY do not use distilled  says so on page 10 of the most recent manual.

@grooves- what version of the manual do you have? The one shown on the KL site is English Version 1.2 and says:

"Use only distilled water to fill the reservoir. Detergents, tap water, and other additives are not recommended and may react with materials used in the system or cause mineral build-up...."

I can check the manual that came with my machine- but the unit shown on their website (still up) looks pretty much identical to the unit I have here in terms of lack of switch on face panel, etc. 

@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.
