no need for distiled or bottled water.

Bring water to a boil
Suck up water
Shoot water out into sink
Suck more water up
Shoot water out into sink
Suck more water up


Let the water cool and you should have sterile water.

Yea but all my gear is hosiptal grade and my syringes are in plastic and don't need to be sterilized. Hence why I'm asking.

That doesn't sterilize the needle itself.

That sterilizes the water you want to use for the spore solution.

I personally find the boiling water process to be much simpler then going and buying a bottle of water

The needle will be sterile from the packaging.

Another problem I've found with the boiling etc is that it melts the seal in the syringe and causes it to fail.

I haven't found a way round this yet!

i do the boil method....boil water for 10 minutes, suck up and expunge into sink 5 times and then let sit...then i wrap in foil and PC for 30 min at 15psi....my syringes are BD and can withstand the PC...other brands like TERUMO cannot and will/could possibly melt.

You must be one of those paranoids. I only use the Boil method,
never PC them after. And never have dirty syringes. That's
pretty much 2 Tek's for one job Haha.

I wrap my syringe in tin foil, and PC with my substrate, 1 hour 15psi. Has always worked. I've made an LC from bottled water, so it is pretty clean stuff. I don't see how clean bottled water helps with syringes. Don't you need to suck hot water inside to kill organisms?

I don't know why you would use bottled water period.
Unless it was like mineral water. Bottled drinking water
has added chemicals.

I put hot water in to a glass bottle then in to a pan to sterialise
take it out let it cool then suck it out works fine every time

He's asking if he can just buy a bottle of distilled water and use that instead of boiling water.


No. You can't.  Water from a bottle isn't sterile

I'm pretty sure hospitals use medical grade distilled water. Not Dasani or Fiji brand or whatever.
Your first post asks about "store bought".

I would be worried about the sterility of store bought water.  When I worked at Walmart unloading trucks, I lost count how many pallets of bottled water didn't make it through shipping.  Those water bottles get stored in a truck trailer that acts like a solar oven for hours, sometimes days, at a time.  I very seriously doubt that the caps they put on those bottles are capable of keeping an air tight seal through the entire shipping process.

Yep, just google medical grade distilled water. If you wanna pay alot go for it. I would boil. I already told you I made an LC with bottled water, Kroger brand. So if you feel like it try it. I'm tellin you no one on here will say "go for it!". If it's not proven or seems to have risks, ppl say no and call you stupid. Trust me i've gone thru it.

I too always used the boiling the whole syringe method and then the suck and spit a few times until recently I have gotten a bit lazy so I just used tap water and a brand new syringe and so far its worked for 6 spore syringes that Ive turned into viable cakes with no mold issues. I also found that after a couple of boils even the BD syringes tend to get mishapen. cheers

Well if you are so sure why did u make a post? Just go do it then. I work at a place that bottles tea and its all sterile till a Mexican dude slaps the lid on. He is not sterile. So that explains my answer.
Why even ask if u already knew and planned on arguing?

I might be a bit overkill, but the mold is CRAZY in my area. I pc distilled water along with the syringes for 60 min. :tongue:
There's not a chance of anything living in there, and no minerals to germinate the spores in my syringes. Lasts for ever in the fridge.

PS: Tap water quite natural here, the plants love it and it tastes great... Hardly any chlorine or any other additives, just pulled straight out of the local rainforest river. Wouldn't trust it too much for my hobby, too many natural goodies in it.
