Purple Death is purple degreaser concentrate. Works well in very small amounts. Use plenty of water to rinse. I use a Groovmaster and then follow up with vacuuming.

I have been told by a chemist that the reverse osmosis filter yields water as pure as distilled water.

That's quite far from truth. With good feed water a sinle stage RO will deliver a purity somewhere between 17 to 20 uSiemens. A two stage RO should bring that down around 8 to 10 uSiemens. Distilled water has a conductivity around 1 uSiemens.

Those results are with industrial RO systems, them 'under the sink' ROs will never get near theose figures.
