Re: Distilled water

In Belgium too, so shop around.  You could find it under the name
"gedestilleerd water" or also "gedemineraliseerd water".  (WJ ?)

I think there's too much dust in that water.  It is easy to make
distilled water yourself.  You only need a boiler and some kind of heat
exchanger (a simple long copper tube will do for small quantities).  See
my "drawing" below.

       /-----------------------------------  distilled
       |  steam           tube               water out
      /     /------------------------------
     /      \          air or water cooling
    |        |

  some kind of
  water boiler (e.g. electric)

You only need to keep the tube below 100 degrees Celcius.  Distilling
takes a _lot_ of time.
