Distilled Water (in Singapore)
Hello everyone, I know this has been discussed several times. Strangely in Singapore, I seem to have found it more of a challenge to find this than I would have thought. I imagined waltzing in to a pharmacy or store...but they seem no where to be found.
I did now find a chemical company that is selling distilled water and they have sent me the specifications. There is no mention of part per million but they do have a very detailed account of their tests.
I really would appreciate if someone here could kindly take a look at this and share if these specs are "okay" to use for the steam engines.
Thanks very much

Gavin, your DVD went in the post 2 days ago and yesterday I sent you a water tester and 50ml of the distilled water (zero ppm) that I've used for several years with no problems.
I sent them separately because the post office said there could be problems/delays sending liquids and I didn't want the DVD held up.
I did a search for distilled water on Amazon Singapore and found this
https://www.amazon.sg/s?k=H2Doze+Distilled+Water&ref=nb_sb_noss
and a user that reviewed it said it was 3ppm so this could be your answer
This is proper distilled water

The tds was 3 ppm. At first it showed up as 19-20 ppm, but then I put it in a container that has never touched tap water and it showed 3 ppm. I did this with 2 containers and both showed 3 ppm.

In my experience (with Chemistry A Level) a simple test and a good guide is to put a drop of various 'waters' onto a mirrored surface and let them evaporate. Try distilled water, de-ionised water, tap water and mineral water. My recent experience of doing this resulted in absolutely no residue for the zero PPM distilled and varying degrees of residue for the others with the mineral drinking water leaving the most.
