Default Distill Water?

Can I use Aquafina <ehehe they claim themselves to be additive free. So I'm guess that's distill or am I wrong ehe. What about water you buy from those water store... not the vending machine type. the one that's already been filtered and stuff.

no, distilled water is more pure than filtered water. you can buy distilled water from Wal-Mart / K-Mart for like 50 cents a gallon. i got mine from Wal-Mart.

really ppl, you can use any kind of water you want. use tap if you want, it wont kill your system lol. you just gotta use something to prevent corrosion and biological growth, and you'll be fine.
id just use distilled because of its high purity (no minerals or other deposits in it, etc). its also cheap, and easy to get. i dunno, its your system
