I think this is OK to make CS from. No ions = no silver compounds. You'd need someone like Marshall or Brooks to give a definitive answer. Dan

I buy my water to make my CS from the Pharmacy, it is the water that they use to prepare formulas. On the label it says "Agua destilada desionizada" / (distilled de-ionised water). Will that be de-ionised and then distilled or distilled and then de-ionised or do they do both things at the same time? I test the water with a PWT meter from Hanna and it gives me a reading of 0.2 .up to 0.5 the highest reading. I have tried several different brands from different sourses, all of them labelled Distilled De-ionised and the one from the pharmacy is the best I have found. Is that water OK to make CS? Thank you once again for your help. Ian >>>>>>>>In previous messages: "Could you tell me why de-ionised distilled water shoud not be used for making CS? It's all you can get here in Spain and my CS seems to be working just fine. Please enlighten me. Thank you Ian" http://van.physics.uiuc.edu/qa/listing.php?id=1743 I might use CS produced with de-ionized water externally for sunburn and so forth. But I would hesitate to drink it or snort it up into my sinuses, which is my main use. Small distillers are available here for less than $100. Are you sure that no one in the EU makes these things?. I would think that pharmacies would carry distilled water as it would be used in many preparations. Best Regards, Arnold Beland www.atlasnova.com <http://www.atlasnova.com/>
