Bruce. >:D
I have used Florida rainwater for many years.  The Ph tests well with my ohm meter, the procedure for which I posted not long ago.

Up till now, I have never had to buy water, apart from what is piped to the house from the reticulation provider.

When something is called for Distilled Water, I simply turn on the tap, and fill the container.  When the contents stop moving, I say to myself, "dis water is still"  ;)  ;)

Demineralised Water lists at $9.99 for 5 Litres.

Never had a problem with it in any of my cars.

Bruce. >:D

PS.  But, there is Fluoride added for teeth health.  Must look into this. 

PPS.   I performed the ohm meter test, and obtained a good result in my '72 Eldo, and other cars.
