UPDATE - What's Up With DISTILLED WATER ??

[Jeff.64]

Weis Markets in my area has gallon distilled H2O for $0.99. But with the price of gas, it might be cheaper to cobble your own still together.

We went through the same shortage locally about a month or so ago. Walmart had nothing. Nor the local Giant etc. I did find some a Target in the next town. I was a little worried as I use distilled H2O in my CPAP machine. I also need it for a thirsty car and a bunch for ‘lectric golf cart batteries.

There has been plenty of stock over the last 2 weeks. I think these shortages roll around the country? IDK

The other big issue is water softener salt! There’s been a shortage in that as well.

Pepsi products are on sell here (Montana) for $3.22 a 12 pack, limit of 6. Plenty available.

1.29 to 1.69 at shop rite, stop and shop, walmart. Told my wife about it and she's been keeping an eye out.
But if you order online and have it delivered, it gets real expensive.

Time to make a still. It can be used for other projects other than water

why? it's cheap enough.

So you can make denatured alcohol that isn't denatured? It's really a great solvent. And a little nip from the can never hurt nobody...

 

[WobblyHand]

Denatured alcohol is designed to be hard to separate the ethanol from the denaturants. Often there is methanol in it, at least in some countries. Don't drink it or try to distill it, please. Methanol is poisonous, it kills. If it doesn't kill you, it can make you blind. I know @pontiac428 was joking, but methanol poisoning is no joke.

If you have to distill something, ferment your own mash and distill that.

and remember... denatured alcohol is illegal in CA... why ??? because, don't ask..

 

[WobblyHand]

Probably illegal because they want to control volatile emissions? Otherwise, beats me.
