Hi,
I understand this might seem a bit odd, but I’m wondering if I should look for alternative sources for XSPC radiators. Since distilled water isn’t commonly available in the UK, I’m unsure if I can just use regular tap water that’s been treated only with basic purification. Would it be better to search for de-ionized or purified water options instead?

a 50/50 combination of water and vinegar proves effective.

Wow, I never considered looking in the car or automotive sections of stores. I've only been told to get it imported or from places that cost about 15 pounds for the same amount, thank you.

The recommended ratio is equal parts water and vinegar.
If distilled water isn't available, vinegar can be used instead.

Even when locating the distilled water, add a splash of vinegar during the first cleaning step.
Afterward, rinse it using warm distilled water.
