Re: lab grade water needed

For all intents and purposes lab grade water is utterly pointless
for a hobbyist's purposes, I have some clean room experience with a former clients ISO 9000 super duper ultra clean room.

They required Ultra pure water which made themselves starting with RO (Reverse Osmosis) filtration then it went through a series of Ion Exchangers, so for my Don Quixotic DIY exercise in futility type Record Cleaning solvent development.

The client had no problem giving me a gallon or 3 whenever I required some as they had at least 200 gallons on hand at any given time, I never noticed the least improvement between that H20 and the output from my own Culligan Home R/O system as the basis of Solvent or as a rinse medium I asked a colleague at the UW who was a Molecular Biology Researcher heavy wt. he told me that once I'd opened the Lab Grade Ultra pure water to the atmosphere it's aggressive nature pulled enough from the Atmosphere that in short order it was very little different from my R/O.

Don't waste your time or money, good quality Distilled is more than good enough.
