Distilled Water for CarsThere are a number of different uses of Distilled Water for cars. Firstly, Distilled Water is often used to top up lead acid batteries in the automotive industry. This is because Distilled Water is virtually free of contaminants which could seriously harm the battery and affect its life expectancy. Tap Water contains small amounts of metals, trace elements and minerals. These can seriously harm the delicate balance within a lead-acid battery. Vehicle batteries are therefore much more likely to have a long life expectancy if Distilled Water is used for car batteries.
We have been supplying Distilled Water for cars, Distilled Water for irons and Distilled Water for industry for over 30 years and in manufacturing Distilled Water is the preferred choice when the risks of contamination must be kept to an absolute minimum. Distilled Water is produced by a process of distillation in which water is heated until boiling. As the water boils, water vapour is produced as steam. This steam is then collected in a separate container, cooled and condensed. As it cools and condenses, it returns to a liquid state. This liquid is known as Distilled Water. All mineral elements, trace metals and contaminants are removed from the water and left behind in the heating vessel. Our Distilled Water is produced in-house using our own distillation apparatus and we are able to offer pack sizes of 5 litres and 25 litres, together with 1,000 litre Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). We would be pleased to quote for commercial Distilled Water and Distilled Water in bulk. We have a 30 year history of supplying Distilled Water for cars and Distilled Water for industry.

For this same reason of potential contaminants, it is better to use Distilled Water for cars cooling systems rather than Tap Water. Tap Water contains minerals and ions which can corrode the internal components of a car engine and can cause rapid depletion of anti-corrosive additives that most antifreeze mixtures contain. Using Tap Water for cooling systems may also lead to rust problems.
