Good Quality Distilled Water???


If store variety distilled water is not considered good enough and full of impurities, where does one get distilled water for cleaning records that is acceptable?

I use only the best distilled water from high up in the himalayans, i noticed there is some nice quality about it when the locals schlep it back down on the back of thier yaks, i guess the swinging motion of the yaks help purify it more. Then thhey bring it back to thier village, and put a very tiny amount of Yeti dandruff in it, then have it blessed by the spirits of thier ancestors, which really gives it a nice smooth liquid quality that you just can not beat

$1,375.00 a liter? When it comes to cleaning a $5 LP, we all know that the quality of the water is of the upmost paramount importance right fella?

Once i saw this sucker using $150pr liter water from the top of Mt. Fuji. Thought it was something special. What a tool.
If one stoops to using something as unrefined as filtered tap water, wouldn't a pass through the Nitty Gritty or similiar machine remove those filtered water contaminants?
Ok I must chime in here---

For ages I have used the VPI cleaner, and have kept it in the refrigerator in a gallon jug (to keep it from spoilage)...

I had an unexpected house-guest that apparently got thirsty in the middle of the night.

YUP, you guessed it! He drank a bunch of my VPI cleaner thinking it was cold water ~!

When he told me what he had done-- I just about died. "That wasn't water, that was record cleaner."

He lived without incident, so I guess the VPI stuff was good quality!!!!

Oh BTW, my RRL fluid is on its way from Red Trumpet, so if anyone visits dont get any wild ideas :)

The garden-variety Steam Distilled Water sold at my local supermarket is labeled "Purified Water USP, and marked "purified by distillation and ozonation." It also has an NSF International certification. I checked the NSF International standards for drinking water, and their testing protocols are pretty rigorous.

Plus, the "USP" means the water is pharmaceutical grade, which is pretty much as good as it gets outside of extraordinary purification measures.

So - if regular supermarket distilled water is certified AND is pharmaceutical grade, why isn't it good enough to clean LPs?
