Been gone a while.
Question: How pure is distilled just water with a reflux column??
I recently obtained a cooling system for my 'tig' welder, & it requires distilled water (+ coolant). Concentrated tig coolant is $30+ a gallon (+ water @ 2-1)
I figure I can put my still to use for water, huh?

Re: Distilled Water
Its normally cheaper to buy distilled water than to make it. Auto parts stores normally have it for not much as its used to dilute coolant for a car.

Re: Distilled Water
If you really want to distill water it makes no sense using a reflux column. You have nothing to reflux, no different alcohols to separate. Just use a plain old potstill.
