    Salty,
    Distilled water is factory recommended for temperate climates.

    Hooda, green and other auto antifreezes have a problem with "robbing" HF, making starts more difficult. RV or the stuff made for tig coolers is the only recommended product.

    Hey Salty,

    Not quite there yet, but here's what I think will work for me.
    Filtered condensate from the AC unit/dehumidifier in a 5 gal plastic container, and a pump.

    Unless someone knows otherwise, this is close enough to distilled water for me.
    When done welding, dump the water if need be. KISS principle.
