hi guys I'm new here so be gentle on me
i am in the mists o building a smack gen11
i have done a lot of reading and studying of pictures
but am interested in the electrolyte at the moment
i have ordered Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) for the active ingredient of the electrolyte solution
what I'm interested in is what do people use as a base to mix with ?
would you prefer
Distilled water !!
or
deionised water!!
looking forward to some interesting reads
thanks
cully
I would you prefer Distilled water over these two choices because it is easily available(DI water is not).
Out of all types of water, I would still prefer tap water because of its cost and availability.
the reason i ask the question is
i have a good source of deionised water, i use it to top up lead acid batterys ;) as part of my job
looking for the reasons for and against in using it really
thanks for the reply
cully
I use deionized currently, and like the results I am getting. Actually I feel the results are better than I was getting from distilled. If you have a good source, use it, but don't let jeopardize your job. Like you I have a source for it, I think though if I had to purchase it, I wouldn't.
Anyone for reverse osmosis?
Come on over and I will fill your cell.
