Distilled water is not the same as the ultra purified water the article refers to. That shit is very expensive at $16 for a pint. It's used in some MIL spec tests. It should have under three parts per billion of ions. Lower was better for MIL spec testing. As soon as the bottle is opened it dissolves CO2. So, it's pretty much one bottle per test. You claim you took advance chemistry, but apparently learned little to nothing from the classes.
You are a dingbat. Buy a gallon of purified water for 89 cents. Boil it and run the steam through a copper or chem-lab glass tube. Save the condensate. $16 a pint? Please. $1 a quart, and that's about the time to do it.
As soon as that re-distilled water, that you say is more cost effective, touches the pipe, or is exposed to any gas, it no longer is absolutely pure. Water is the only universal solvent. Apparently you never really took college chemistry, like you claimed, or had access to sensitive equipment that can measure the resistance of the water to a far greater extent than a common multimeter.
LOL! Could you be more full of shit? "Measure the resistance of the water?" I never took chemistry? "Touches a pipe?" How do you think this magically pure water came to exist? In a perfect vacuum? And, since it dissolves metal, What's all that material in the photo.? And what is that platform those 3 guys are standing on made of? Why didn't this picture and the camera that took it just dissolve?
