Maybe, but what is the cost/benefit ratio of using the distilled water?
cost of 3 gallons of distilled water has to be very little.
I had never heard of using distilled water till someone mentioned it on
this lsit. Considering all the limestone we have in our water, it seems
like a really good idea.
Maybe giving bad advice is job security for your shop? Too cynical,
probably. But it's not as important to them as it is to you!
