How do you get food or essential living items if you never leave your house?

 

Forget that; ask whoever "delivers" your food and essential living items - to pick you up a bottle of distilled water from wal-mart or wherever the magic food person goes.

To answer your question, my father. He does all the shopping since he does all the cooking. Also, my family and I have a genetic hatred for walmart. We will probably never shop for a corporation as evil as they are.

You can get distilled water from basically anywhere that sells gallon bottles of water. Costco has them, Target has them, Aldi has them, you name it, they got it.

Bottled water contains minerals and Brita filters are shams, they don't filter minerals and add bacteria!

If its from a glacier you can boil and use it in the loop, In theory. Don't quote me on that.

Brita filters don't completely remove contaminates and they also leave particulates (the activated charcoal) in the water. It's also not designed to remove added fluoride.

 

In other words, you're still going to put gunk in the line.

I swear to the holy spirits that I don't believe in that Brita water tastes better than tap, at least the tap at my home, and if nothing else the Brita is good cold water pitcher.

roight, gotcha

 

i like the way you think, but special water costs $20 from amazon, so I'll hit up newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9AB3T28099

A gallon of distilled water costs like a dollar at any grocery store or pharmacy dude.  Have your dad grab a gallon of water with a red cap next time he buys thing.  Or if you're really lazy, go into your parent's garage and find a bottle of antifreeze.  I used to just run 25% green antifreeze/75% distilled water.  After I made some changes to my loop, I now run 15% propylene glycol/85% distilled water with a killcoil in my res.  The PG switch was because I wasn't comfortable with a bunch of ethylene glycol in something on the floor within reach of a small child.

 

Another option is actually doing something yourself.

You asked if it would work. And we told you no. You want distilled h2o. Yes all others have some biological in them, yes it will hurt your system. Either get distilled, order a premix or deal with consequences. Happy cooling
