Distilled water shortage...

[lostchild]

I lived on the gulf coast for many many years. I was in the Coast Guard there then got out and went to work for a Ford Dealer. Ford certified master tech and also ASE. Never heard of anyone using distilled water in cooling systems in fact, we were told not too. We were told it causes damage to the system.

Many people have "heard" that distilled water is the best water to use in a cooling system. This is wrong! Let us tell you why.

Well, crap. Another old-wives tale debunked.
‘Course, been using premixed coolant for about 50 years, so no straight water’s been involved anyway.

We ran 41 footers in the Coast Guard when I was in we ran tap water and straight antifreeze mixed 50-50.

Now I use distilled water for mixing antifreeze but I also spent 20 years filling up radiators from a garden hose. Never had any problems either way.

I got tired of it being out of stock so we bought our own 6 liter distiller. Beats hauling the water home from the store too.

I’m sure it’s a temporary shortage if anything- lot of folks bought water because the temps were low. Just like any time there is a hint of snow. Bread milk eggs and toilet paper are all sold out. It’s what Georgians do best!

Speaking of eggs…I never buy groceries but wife has Covid…when did eggs get to $5 a dozen…dang

Ditto….I am an ASE certified Master Tech…always have used tap water to mix antifreeze. This is the first I have ever heard of someone using distilled water in a radiator ! Lol.

Don't forget to check the baby section at Walmart. They had 10 gallons at Griffin this afternoon.
