happyjillin Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I use distilled water in my purro humidor which is supplied by don Pablo who I buy purros from. It's not a large bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RO water is not cpmpletely demineralized in comparison to distilled water. You are confused-RO water is not deminearlized completely period. "A reverse osmosis (RO) system is a type of water filter that pushes pre-filtered water through a membrane with very tiny pores. ... While RO water is not truly demineralized, the process does remove a significant portion of mineral ions that are too large to pass through the membrane." It will leave some minereals in an iron but if you aren't running a laundry it should not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember where it was in Walmart that you saw it? Mucho gracias. Tha Agua Desmineralizada in Walmart is in the aisle 2 east of where the dog food is. On the eastern side of that aisle, bottom shelf, towards the south end. 33 pesos for 2 liters. In the aisle where they sell irons they told me they did not carry it but they do.

Jim Bowie Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I buy mine in the Pharmacy section of large Supermarkets. Have to ask where it is, as they tend to "hide" it. About 22 pesos a gallon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a steamer instead of an iron and it needs this desmin. water. Gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnoNorm Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I measured various garrafones of water, and e-pura had lowest Total Disolver Sólids(TDS) of any. I use condensate from dehumidifier & mini splits. Ofcourse rain water is perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanRoy Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Well, that's an interesting comment. I'm certainly no expert, so I had to look it up. First off, it's Total DISSOLVED Solids. Second, "the test does not provide us insight into the specific water quality issues, such as Elevated Hardness, Salty Taste, or Corrosiveness." ( https://water-research.net/index.php/water-treatment/tools/total-dissolved-solids) So, is it a worthwhile test, I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
