Can't find distilled H20, try here
Can't find distilled H20, try here
So I'm not going to describe the product like most people do because I don't want this to come up via google. However if you are in need of some distilled H2O for your CPAP, I found a good supply at Home Depot. The one I work for is small and it's in a wierd place so perhaps that's why we had some but worth a look. Ours was located at the end of a random plumbing aisle.
Yes, I know you can make distilled H20 yourself and if you clean your humidifier religiously you won't have an issue with tap water but some of us are still recovering from sleep debt so motivation may not be the best.

Which is easier? driving to every store in town desperately searching for a gallon, or using tap water and rinsing out the tank every morning?Jerseyguy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 12:04 amSo I'm not going to describe the product like most people do because I don't want this to come up via google.

Apparently we have a difference in opinion on this. How bout I do it my way you do it yours? AND for those who agree with me they can consider my advice...I think that seems reasonable

Re: Can't find distilled H20, try here
If you have a grocery store in town with water dispensers that use reverse osmosis and dispense on demand, that's a good alternative and you don't ever have to worry about if it's in stock. Just bring your own container. I know most, if not all, Whole Foods locations have them. I'm not sure about other chains.Jerseyguy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 12:04 amSo I'm not going to describe the product like most people do because I don't want this to come up via google.

Re: Can't find distilled H20, try here
I would use tap water in my cpap if the countertop distiller died.
I already switched to drinking tap water from bottled water, (months ago)
mostly because dealing with the empties was such a pain.
The bullfrog refills the big jugs for making coffee, at the store,
because our tap water clogs up coffee makers.
No clogs in the frogs, though.

We have good tap water where I live but I use a Pur Water Filter on the faucet for the coffee maker. If I couldn't find distilled I'd use faucet water.

Re: Can't find distilled H20, try here
The *POINT* is that distilled water *is not necessary*. CPAP manuals in many other countries *DO NOT MENTION* distilled water.
If you can't find distilled water, just use tap water

Buy a bidet. There aren't any panic buying of TP in France, according to friends over there.

We have been looking at the add-on bidet seats.
Because of the panic, we most likely will wait until the frenzy dies down.
(Or those beset by frenzy die)

Re: Can't find distilled H20, try here
I have found bottled water labeled as "purified" leaves little sediment either. I use it when traveling when I don’t have distilled water with me.
