Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner

A 6-year long discussion about water.  Would that our politicians were nearly as obsessed with clean water as are audiophiles.  Distilled water ought to be fine, might even be overkill.  Filtered tap water, to remove macro sized particulates, would probably also be as good.  Another factor in the outcome is how you dry the LPs.  Vacuum suction would seem to go a long way to removing any "dirt" in the water used to clean, but air drying would leave such stuff on the surface of the LP.  Probably most of that would be too large to sit down in the grooves.  Thom made a good point about once-used water.

There's some truth and some BS in this thread.  For a treatise that is worth reading, go here:

Recordgenius, Thank you for correcting me, above. I apologize for using the term "BS"; I only meant that there was good information and perhaps less relevant information and some other information with a commercial tint.  However, I apologize also for quoting an old posting that I thought was especially erudite on this subject, when it had already been quoted by someone else.  Even if one doesn't want to know THAT much about water and levels of its purity, could it hurt? Anyway, I am or have been lucky enough to be able to get extremely pure deionized and distilled water from my lab, for the past many years, which I use to clean LPs.  (Distilled water from an outside local source passes through a built-in deionizer that sits over each of two of the sinks in my laboratory, at work. I am a biologist/virologist.)  I can get it at no cost, so I use it, but do I believe it's vital to cleaning LPs? No. I think the other ingredients of a record cleaner are more important to getting a good job done.  I don't think deionized, distilled water is sufficient by itself, unless perhaps if one also uses ultrasonics.  I think a small amount of ionic or nonionic detergent plus a little alcohol (usually isopropanol) added to the water are very important to doing a good job.
