QUOTE(MR_alien @ Sep 22 2017, 07:11 PM) battery water are SUPPOSED to be distilled water(last time) now its kinda added with some chemical to prolong the battery im not sure what chemical, u can refer to the back of the bottle for the chemical content because if it is PURE distilled water thn u can drink it...try drinking and tell u if u end up in hosp or not  he means dnt put 100% water into the radiator I read mine is just deionized water. It show manganese contents but water also have it. I taste it before. Just plain water. I'm sure |

I'm sure many who work at those battery water factory did say they did added some stuff into it not sure but i think u can use it, no harm..just watch for rust for the 1st few week if no rust thn no issue but the best is still 50% water 50% coolant for long lasting peace of mind effect This post has been edited by MR_alien: Sep 22 2017, 09:32 PM |

Lol Distilled water had been tested as 'slightly' acidic .......... It's a myth that we shouldn't be in contact with it, as we do with oranges, lime etc. |

For radiator should not use water because water cause rusting. Coolant sold in concentrate or diluted ready to use. Read instruction. Dilution is still using water but coolant has rust prohibition substance. I can say battery water mostly deionized water. Adding some substance in process is possible to purify water |
