Going to attempt a full flush on my bike Monday, may as well get extra so I can finally have no excuses left for not getting my watercooling loop set up again as well.

Saw some at a shop I can't remember for $25 2L, surely this shit isn't that expensive. Mitre 10?

Been meaning to get one but no. I'm aware it's not magical water.

If you have alot of time its a really easy process if you have the right stuff.. mind you I guess it depends on the amount you need haha.

But most supermarkets sell it,
Read the labels most bottled stuff is distilled.

Looks like whichever one is closest to me!
In regards to distilling my own water via say a pot and pan, I'd assume the energy and subsequent electric bill to produce a measly 3-4L to be quite counter-intuitive :corn:
Now for the glycol, anti corrosive and PTNuke...

I'd be willing to save my dehimidifier water if you're willing to pick it up. Good for battery top ups also.

i wouldn't be drinking the dehumidifier water. just go to the supermarket and find water - read the labels - much of the bottled water is just distilled off town supply.

it never was.
It was only ever the very dedicated that captured the steam from a boiling jug to re-use as a battery top up.

Yup, supermarket usually has distilled water; IIRC, it's about $12 for 10 litres.
Rainwater (esp. in UnZud) is far from clean: it's full of salt, dust, pollen, etc. The reason people have made such a big deal of it being 'clean' in the past is that it was cleaner than pond water, puddle water, etc.

SuperCheap Auto is where I got mine. $5 or close for a 5L pack - that was heaps to flush a motorcycle system. They also sell preximed coolant packs for bikes as do all bike shops. Poor it in (slowly) and burp the system - easy.

Tried two stores and they didn't have any.
So, like a normal guy would, you know what I fucking did?

I stormed the fuck out of there and went ice-skating
You could say I was... Ice cold... :shutup:

Edit:
Or cooler than the body of a cucumber consumer.

Went to Countdown for beer last night. Saw the water bottles so thought I'd check them and read the labels. 10 litres of distilled & ozonated water was $6.23.
