Re: Battery
On the topic of tap water... I grew up in a part of the country where our water came directly out of mountain streams and was probably the closest thing to distilled water one could get. My dad always scoffed at the need of distilled water in a battery.... So we never did. Fast forward to now. I live in a more rural setting and I am not even on city water. Mine comes from the ground. There is so much mineral content in that water that it eventually clogs shower heads and we cannot wash the car or windows with tap water. If any sprinkler water gets on our car, we are quickly running out to wipe it off. In fact I have some basement windows that we can hardly see through due to getting the over-spray from years of plant and lawn watering. I can only imagine what that would do to a battery!
These days, distilled water is pretty easy to find.
