Where on Earth can I get distilled water in the UK?

Just make it - https://home.howstuffworks.com/green-living/how-to-make-distilled-water.htm

Would be cheaper in energy costs, time and effort to just buy mayhams pure h2o. You could be filling your loop with mayhams just as your first 500ml batch of home brew is cooling down.

Is this ok just for flushing the system, when im due to clean it etc ?

It's prefect for this but to save money, I would flush using tap water or deionized water first and just use the pure distilled for the final few flushes to clear out any impurities

Car Plan deionised from Tesco/Asda etc £1.50 for 2.5 litres

I wish people would read the OP and the thread, and realise that no one asked for deionised and 15 people already tried suggesting it...

I had this same problem and ended up harvesting water from my dehumidifier. Problem is it costs about £1/day to run so it works out £1/L but at least it helps keep my basement dry! Would much rather have bought it but I need 35L for a laser cutter and that gets pricy by post. You can buy plug in distillers that are cheaper to run apparently, and fast.

Looking forward to seeing if my pharmacist can sell me some!

I bought a water distiller a few years back and it makes 4 litres every couple of hours. Got a big 5 gallon drum full in my loft made the other week for my loops.

If you live near or in Lincoln then feel free to pop round and take some, bring a container though

Given the original post was forever ago its not for the OP, Not suggesting it was distilled or alternative just as a good source of cheap water to flush things out instead of tap... Hence the quote with the post.

Derp, sorry. Noted!

The point is, for watercooling it makes zero difference. De-ionised does exactly the same job as distilled.

Surprised no one has come up with a cheap nonconducting fluid yet for PC loops?

Most liquids will generally become conductive over time - deionised water is nonconductive for a while but reionises quite quickly. Anything with enough additives to be fully non conductive is usually less efficient at cooling and often expensive.

It doesn't happen very often that the cheapest option (water) also happens to be the best (cooling). There, off course, has to be a catch, it conducts electricity

Edit: autocorrect!

I get my Distilled from a Tattoo Parlour supplier, Barbers DTS at £5 per 5 litre container. They have free delivery but I can't remember if there's a minimum order for it as I buy 20 litres at a time.
