Distilled or filtered water (non-koi related)
sorry guys, a bit of a random one.
I have an automatic candy floss vending machine & it uses water to clean & humidify at high temps.
Being in a hard water area the venue doesn't have a filter and the nozzles are lasting about 10 days before getting scaled up (think of it like a constant kettle going) at times
It uses approximately 25-40 litres a week (filling a 25litre bottle), we thought we found a solution of using deionised water at 3.5p a litre, but have now been told by the company that it can be aggressive on certain metals.
So back to the drawing board, is there anywhere that sells "cheap" distilled/filtered water or would spring water be better, guessing it all depends on calcium content?
Can get 2 litre bottles of spring water for like 20p from some supermarkets.
the water supply is West Croydon Lower and i'm assuming the main item i should be looking at is the calcium levels which states 292ppm (this is 292 mg/l converted i THINK!)
just looking at some cheap spring water, it says it has these values:
Mineral Analysis Typical Values mg/L Calcium 19 Magnesium 7 Sodium 11 Potassium 3 Bicarbonate 55 Sulphate 14 Chloride 15 Nitrate 20 Dry Residue at 180°C 110 pH at Source 6.4
I can't get a filter installed at the venue, so looking at those numbers would spring water be the better option?
or do you have any other suggestions for pre-purchased suitable water?
