From what you are suggesting here, one should not use
distilled water in their cooling system. But I dont
get what you are talking about because it is jsut pure
water right? Why the hell would it ahve any charge or
draw ions or corrode copper and where did you find
this anecdote?

distilled water knocks holes in copper pipe... in one
anecdote copper
pipe
had to be replace by Plastic pipe at a military base
in New England
because
we could not keep the copper pipe from corroding... it
would leak again
within six months of replacement... distilled water at
ambient
temperature.was all that there was going through that piping...

"Fruitlands" is name given to the region around Harvard Mass by early settlers. We dont live there any more, but I did when I chose fruitlands as a user name.
