How much is distilled water in your area?

Here it's 69¢~89¢ depending on where you go.

I have a question about the container that SR99 posted about, USplastics has another 2 1/2 gallon container with a spigot that costs like $12. It doesn't look as nice, but why and the s**t is that one $200? I'm about to get some 5 liter containers with spigots just so my OCD can be satisified with all my bulk chemicals being in matching containers.

Speaking of CRAZY prices.

Those Duragloss microfiber towels that are so nice, as well as crazy expensive, (which is why I only have one of each). Also nobody seems to have them in stock. Well I was looking at them a couple weeks back, and the little one was all over the place for around $50 and the big one.... HOLY DODO BATMAN........ it was $120 literally everywhere you looked! I thought about putting mine up for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laughing:

A detailing shop a town over from me has a DI water dispenser and they charge 5 cents a gallon. Dunno how they make any money, but that's a hellova deal.

I thought it was a good deal, but is it that good? Looking on Yelp I see another semi local detailing store that advertises an outdoor serve yourself DI water machine where it's a nickle a gallon. Will probably shoot way up with the water restrictions set in place now though.

I'd want to test the water and make sure it really is mineral free.
 
81 to 89 cents a gallon here in Los Angeles. Walmart, Target, and K-mart are the same.

Sometimes it's cheaper at the 99 cent store. Best price there was 62 cents a gallon.

As best I could figure, that's the going rate for the autoclavable polypropylene 2.5 gallon bottles with spigots. $200 may be a little high, but all the others I found were well over $100 per bottle. No idea whether there is really some expensive process involved in making them, or just a monopoly on the bottle manufacturing, or whether the people who buy these all work in labs with deep pockets and no one complains about the price.

PS I saw those other/cheaper 2.5 gallon containers and might pick some up myself.

I think it's the process combined with the graduations. Put a couple lines and numbers on something and you get to charge 10 times as much. I can't imagine that the spigot and seals are that expensive.
