What to look for before buying distilled water?

  • TDS: If you’re going to use distilled water in the lead battery, then check its TDS ( Total Dissolved Solid). It shows how much solid is in your water. For battery recharge purposes, TDS must be under 5.
  • Preference: Distilled water isn’t made for drinking only. As it doesn’t have any minerals like calcium and magnesium, it won’t taste good. So keep that in mind before buying distilled water for drinking purposes.
  • Mineral deficiency: Drinking distilled water regularly can cause mineral deficiency. So athletes and physical workers mustn’t rely on distilled water.
