You can get DeIonized water all over. But its useless for computer cooling.

The second you put it in your system it becomes contaminated and just normal tap water for all intents and purposes.

The stuff I used in DH3 has been in the ProMini cooling system for over a year, and there is NO sign of any corrosion anywhere. Redline works well in tests I did also. But it seems to react with silicone hoses. I think it actually gets absolrbed into the silicone. In the WB testing rig I noticed after a few months all the water wetter was out of the coolant and I just had pink hoses.
