That presents an interesting problem. You can look in the store, or in
the pharmacy, for water suitable for laboratory use, that has zero
minerals in it. Maybe they can order some for you. There was a
conversation some while ago about getting water in the uk, and that it
is called differently there- I think de-ionized water is it. I don't
know about Norway. I would want a meter, to see just how close I could
get (to zero). I think in the Sierras, the snow melt is very nearly
pure water.
Out of all the distilled water brands I tried, the worst one was 25
ppm, I think. And that company starts with highly mineralized water and
then distills it. The company I use starts with the river water, which
is much less mineralized to start with, and it comes out fine all the
time (nearly).
If you could not order distilled or de-ionized water, you could look
into buying a steam distiller of your own. If you did decide to do
that, then the next step would be to get the most pure water to start
with, I would think.
If you are that far out, you must be able to get very pure seawater. My
parents use seawater as a mineral supplement, and as long as my mother
takes that, she has no arthritis. They take about an ounce or 2 a day,
and have for years. They have picked out a good spot to get it, away
from homes, etc.

Yes, I would think so. Even in very delicious water, even as pure as
yours is, it is unlikely to be pure enough to use for CS- you really
want steam distilled water suitable for laboratory use. If you have
bought a meter, like a conducitivity meter or TDS (total dissolved
solids) tester, you can test your water and see what it reads. It
should read under 2uS or under 2 ppm. Out of the5 brands available
here, only one of them was good enough to
use for this.

Thank you so much for these sites. I have another question. The water
we drink is pure glacial water that's been filtered several years
through
a granite mountain before it reaches me. It's untreated in any way.
Do I
still need to buy water?
