Hi Ernie. Are you sure you dont mean deionized water? Distilled water is only water that has been boiled, and then the vapor has been condensed. This leaves all the goo and minerals and stuff behind, and leaves it pure. Deionized water is very corrosive, and that would wreck any cooling system unless everything was stainless steel.

Im just trying to clarify, not saying anything one way or the other... ~Bug
