What's the advantage of using Deionized water over home boiled (distilled) water?

 

[Pat123]

No advantage i suppose.. lol.. is that all is needed?

 

[Rastalovich]

It`s all a question of impurities.

Not having stuff stick to u`r innards from the water. Iirc de-ionizing is like water that`s already been between 2 (atleast) charged plates where the gunk gets attracted to them. Remainder is the water.

Boots sold it years ago, don`t know about now - the bigger branches might. Maybe just distilled.

 

[Pat123]

So whats the diff between distilled and de-ionised? Because de-ionised water becomes ionised again once its in the loop.

 

[Raging]

some coolant in the mix would be advantageous.

I bought my deionised water from Tesco. It's a 2.5L container and cost £1.32, you'll find it in the car care section. Distilled or deionised, both will do fine.

 

[Pat123]

AH right thanks a bunch.

 

[Rastalovich]

Can u buy distilonized or deionilled ?

 

[Pat123]

How much de-ionised do you think i will need in my loop, its only cools the CPU.

 

[Pat123]

[Allsorts]

Well 2.5L was plenty for me, including the big puddle I made on my floor. :rollingla

 

[Pat123]
