exactly, they are very different fluids. distilled water will not deposit harmful minerals in your system, nor will it cause algal blooms because there are no living organisms present. it will not, however, corrode your water blocks because it is not de-ionized.
de-ionized water is an excellent solvent, and so if de-ionized water is put into a water cooling system, it will corrode the water blocks,radiator (copper/aluminum)to get its ions back. therefore, de-ionized water is not something recommended. so... back to the question, anyone know where you can buy distilled water? not de-ionized
