We have a steam mop - a Sharpe. We use it for distilled water - we have hard water here.
So this distilled water, the most benign thing you would think. So what does the bottle say?
“Not considered harmful under normal laboratory conditions”
Under what conditions could it be harmful??
Probably under conditions where they believe someone could make a legal or financial claim against the company supplying / producing the distilled water. My guess is that it’s a disclaimer to protect their backsides, as with many things these days.
Do you mean you purchase distilled water for your steam mop?
Distilled water should be Ph neutral or in other words neither acidic or alkaline. It would probably do you no harm if it was drunk while sterile, but without any TDS (disolved solids) it could in theory partially demineralise parts of you on its way through your body, although unlikely.
Hi
I have my own system for making pure water, I needed it for my Marine Aquarium.
I can make 76000 litres for less than 2p a litre.
I needed to get the nitrates out.
An inline activated carbon filter does the job.
Possibly so. Even so…
I know what you mean but society today has become very litigious and there lies the problem.
Every little detail needs to be covered by these companies, just reading the Ts&Cs of any ‘contract’
for instance and that really is obvious in the amount of clauses and words they usually contain.
We have high humidity in the property and by using two de-humidifiers that solves some previous issues he had with mould.
Plus side is we use the water in our steam mop…
not sure if it is suitable for some car batteries though…
Run it through a filter medium (e.g. filter paper) to remove any airborne dust etc, and it’s ideal for lead-acid batteries and steam irons etc.
Yes, I know what it does - or rather what it doesn’t. It’s just water with the impurities taken out. Why on earth could that be harmful…
That’s about £1,500 for your fish…
No, not just impurities removed. Distillation removes all dissolved solids and therefore undesirable as a potable water. It’s not the same with ‘softened’ water, but that too should not be used as a source of drinking water; my ion-exchange water softener does not supply my kitchen’s cold water, that comes direct from the main supply pipe.
But why would it be harmful?
Our Delonghi de-humidfiers have small tanks but that is the only drawback, we purcased low running cost ones as they are kept runiing 24/7 and are quiet as they can be.
When the huminity is good they auto switch off.
…They have filters that we change every other week, also says they have efficient antibacterial action…the filters are treated with small particles of silver which are able to block the multiplication of and destroy any bacteria or spores coming into contact with them…(well that came from the brochure!)
so did below!
Anti-allergen filter…
Notably reduces the concentration of allergens transpoted by air in a quick and efficient way.
Chin Chin… 
This is about our Water Supplies in France if any wishes to know… 
p.s. we buy Bottled Water to drink, it is very cheap to purchase…comes in lots of flavours and of course you can choose fizz or no fizz …I cannot know at time of posting if it’s safe to drink though…
