Purified Water

Hey all,

need a quick answer if possible. Need to flush out some blocks and a radiator later this evening, but realised im pretty much out of DI water.

Don't have a local halfords or tesco that has any so popped down to the local chemist and asked for distilled water, and got "Purified Water":

Will this be fine to do my final flush with after some flushing out with after initial rinsing with standard tap?

Plan is to just flush out with hot water for about 10 mins, then flush with this stuff using a water filter which I picked up for about 30 mins.

It's essentially the same thing as distilled water.

It's fine. You do have biocide right?

jinxpad · 29 Dec 2011 at 17:23

No biocide, I'm not going to be running it in the loop, just using it for flushing.

Your good mate. What liquid you using?

My mate has his loop over at my place and is asking me to put it all together for him, he's grabbed himself some Mayhems Tharsis Red.

Got some tap water and boil it up for a while then use that to flush it

I only did 3 flushes. One with tap, and the other with special.

Using boiled water where I live would be a very bad idea due to the limescale content of the water
