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.

I hope they have that here, I've never checked for it. I'm about 500 miles from the closest big city. Right now we're on an island up on the Arctic Circle off the coast of Norway. We're Americans and sometimes have a hard
time finding different things we need to have.

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?
