Steam cleaning records 2

Thanks, Crem1! I really do appreciate your help.

About the Aquafina water, that IS an advantage--you can drink it! The Pep boys battery water (by Peak) does alarm me a little with its label saying "not for human consumption." It makes you wonder how pure it really is...

Peak battery water, distilled water, purified water, NERL water, and now Aquafina.

Doesn't this incessant fuss over water seem a little silly?

Tvad : As you of all readers know , water has been a topic in this thread and others.

Professionals in commerical water products & chemists amoung others have posted support to the view water puriety is important. Tvad, besides the type of hand-held steam cleaner one's choice of water supply is of concern. Michael Fremer has said he installed a OR water machine in his home for record cleaning purposes. Yes, Peak has been an option for years but times change & with the help of fellow steamer/record cleaning expert,Mr.Fremer, I passed his advice along in this thread.

You know what sounds a little silly ? Limiting options. Tvad, all the best.

Nope, spending one's time comparing Aquafina to Peak, or NERL, or any other purified water for the purpose of cleaning records is about as silly as I can imagine in this hobby.

Perhaps I should revisit freshman experiments spilling bong water on LPs. Some of those records sounded better after "treatment."
