Re: Distilled water question [Re: MycoDale]

Chrlorine and ozone will both leave the water over time by being exposed to the air.  Thats why your tap water can smell like chlorine when it leaves the tap but taste fine when you drink it.  The actual filling of the glass allows for the gas to strip off in the air.  Same goes with ozone.  But the question is how long does it take to get it all removed to safe levels for work in this hobby?  5 seconds 10 seconds 2 minutes?  Depends on the container its put in the amount of time it has contact with the air the temp of the water it self.

Why risk fucking with this shit if you can just buy different bottle of water?

I worry less about chlorine then ozone because i know more about it and know it stripes off water very fast.  I use my cities tap water in most of my stuff these days but i use to only use spring water.  I can say i only drink spring water dont touch the purified stuff.  Because most of the timeits just bottled by a municipality (AKA its city water) its just run through a RO and then they re add minerals for taste.  What they dont tell you is 9 out of 10 times thats the same thing your city does to your tap water. Only difference I've seen between drinking water plants and city plants is chlorine vs UV sterilization.  And thats just because of the volume of water they treat.  Oh did i mention i do water treatment for a living? :P

Personally I use distilled water aswell the ozoneated u see on the bottle basicly means that they have stripped the water of all the particles in the water. Its basicly like an ionizer for the air but insead of air its water. I just boil the water for 10 min then use that. Most distilled water has 0.00ppm which is always a plus but from friends and research you should boil the water because the plastic bottles sit for hours in a hot truck for days or weeks and to the plastic bottle there in is made of chemicals so its only a matter of time before they seep into the water. Also the plastic caps on them don't act like a filter so if they arnt sealed properly that's an easy way contams can get in.




This is not true. Ozone when it dissociates in water becomes a really strong oxidizing agent that works as a anti-microbial, this includes bacteria, protoazoa, fungi and other organisms. Ozone is not used to remove the ions.
