Distilled water with salt?

[Hi-Ho Silver]

I got distilled water yesterday from Walmart and it's the Great Value with purple top. and now today I watched a video on "you tube" and a guy is saying that distilled water from walmart has salt in it and it will kill your batteries. On the water bottle I got it reads steam distillation, did I buy the right kind? I got my first golf cart (2001 TXT) 2 weeks ago and I'm learning as I go.

if it is in fact distilled water....all that's in the bottle is H2O......


and you believe everything you see/hear on the internet....right? LOL

sorry.....couldn't help it.

No salt and it's the most reliable distilled water source I have found. I've tested it for purity and never had a single gallon that read higher than 1.0 (pure distilled) on my tests. On the other hand, avoid Albertsons distilled water, it was marked "same as distilled", but it is not. Filtered city water! I've had to help people replace their electrolyte in expensive solar power battery banks due to using the wrong water.

Charge your cart batteries after each use
Batteries will last longer if kept fully charged.

Fully Charge before adding water if the plates are covered

Keep the plates covered only to a level of 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the plates material above the "plate stuff" you see down the hole. Then you will not have a nasty mess. This program will require you to check them regularly, but your corrosion mess will be very low.
