Wow distilled water is super dangerous.

[natto fire]

Only anecdotal thing I can say about distilled water is it always felt "colder" than tap water at room temperature for some reason.

I experienced this when I would make potable water with chlorine tabs. I was in the Sierras, so maybe the water was a bit colder than tap, but I could never shake that colder mouth feel and only resorted to the tabs when I was too lazy to pump with my Katadyn.

Under the current OSHA regs an MSDS is not required if there's no identifiable hazard associated with something so throw that MSDS away. MSDSs are part of the hazard communication system and not required if there's no hazard to communicate about.

Don't go talking common sense, everyone knows the world is run by corporate policies.

From my understanding it needs to be in your chemical inventory if you have it, but you don't have to have hazcom signage.

I knew a guy who drank water every day. Needless to say, he's dead now. Idiot.

Seriously. Who wants to drink something that fish fornicate in?

 

[Iron Woode]

there exists distilled water so pure that if your drank it you will die.

true story.

Water can kill you.

It can. Heard of a mother who killed herself drinking water trying to win her kids a Nintendo Wii.

MSDSs are out. After seventeen years of conferences and workshops held in really nice hotels, OSHA and the regulated community reached an agreement to get rid of the M. SDSs are where it's at.

I always use distilled water in the coffee maker.

You're supposed to use tap water for better flavor

If you wanted better flavor you wouldn't be drinking coffee.

 

[WelshBloke]

you can actually kill yourself if you are out doing some intense exercise or dehydrated and then drink a ton of distilled water. It contains zero minerals and will cause hyponatremic shock

Wouldnt you also have to eat... well basically nothing at all as well?

The dissolved solids in normal water are there in really small amounts and it takes ages for that to leach into the water. I cant see how the type of water you would drink would make any difference given that most of your minerals come from food.

Yeah Not just distilled water, any fresh water can cause dilutional hyponatremia in those conditions

Now you made me wonder if there are "fish" furries.

So basically distilled water is, on a practical level, no worse for you that regular water?

Distilled water will dilute you faster. Magnified even more if you perspirated a significant amount. If i had a choice i would rather have drink something even just little minerals added

Before you know it, you will need a license to buy vinegar.

The minerals aren't good for the machine. eventually causes build up and failure.

If anything, the coffee tastes better with distilled water.

I've seen a dog pee in water to improve the flavor.

Recommended extinguishing methods.
Extinguisher powder or CO2. In case of more serious fires, also alcohol-resistant foam and water spray. Do not use a
direct stream of water to extinguish.

Dafuq?

Well, to be fair, if a fire is so hot that it's burning water (splitting the hydrogen and oxygen), then throwing more water on it probably is a bad idea.

It could be possible, vinegar is basically highly concentrated distilled water so it's still fairly dangerous. To transport it you should dilute it with more acetic acid so that it's only 40% water, then when you get it to the destination you can re-distill it to desired concentration. Need a special license for all that.

We have a fire sprinkler system here and while it does use city water they took precautions and painted the pipes all red to indicate them as being a danger. Yellow is for gas lines and is considered a minor danger while red is for a critical danger.

Interesting. I wonder what color the citric acid pipes are.
