Distilled.

Beats me, some i bough at my local hardware store. It was all they had ... and no reference to them either . It's clear, heavy (thick walls) , and very very resistant to kinking.

The Anti-freeze is green, and... well it keeps green.

Very light white deposits on the tubing, the block was clean of them thou.
