Distilled Water

In the main 69 had been fine for all my sticks, bar a couple Aging Rooms. I have had some advice that 65 may fix the issues I had so I think the best thing would be to try those sticks again 1 at 69 again and a couple at 65 to do a direct comparison.

Anywhere between 65 and 70 is perfectly fine, in fact in would always have it a point or two below 70 just to be on the safe side with regard to beetles and mold, just in case your hydrometer is a point or two +\-

Humidity seems like a dark and mysterious art to me. I'm at 69 now but have been meaning to play around with 65 and even 72 just to see what effect it has. I can't find definitive info, just that different people prefer different figures for different reasons.

67 is probably the most perfect figure!

Good to know cheers mate always trying to get it up more now i can relax

I'm stuck on 70% and cannot get it down to 65%. I have an hydrometer next to my humidors and there is a lot of moisture in the air. I'm going to have to dig out the dehumidifier.

I cant get mine upto 70rh mines constantly at 67rh

Any motor factor should stock it. I went to eurocarparts or something.

I have the opposite problem with my humidor now though - I cant keep the levels down for some reason?!! Wants to stick around 75 for some reason.

Loads on amazon guys, if you can't be bothered to go to Halfords!

[PeeJay]

Isn't the stuff produced by tumble drier condensers the same, mine produces pints of it and it says not to drink it but okay for irons etc

[panda23]

Anyone know any nationwide retailers (supermarkets, chemists that sort of thing) that sell distilled water so I don't have to pay ridiculous postage charges on the web?

I get my distilled from regaent.co.uk which unfortunately has the high postage charges you mention but until supermarkets etc start selling the stuff its either ionised water or paying over the odds

[GFK1]

It contains some Propylene Glycol which is good for some humidifiers but terrible for beads.

Can we add the Pro Glycol to the Halfords De-Ionised water? What percentage and is it easily available? Anti-freeze?

Luckily I sell 25L drums of de-mineralised water at work, so taking home half a litre when needed is not a problem, they cost me ?4, if anybody's ever after any I am in Surrey and you can help yourself!
