Deionized Water for pH Meter - Seeking Advice

[Jiffster]

Can I just use Kroger distilled water or do I need to find deionized water?

If so, where?

I'm using a Hach Pocket Pro+ meter.

Hi Jiffster. I'm using distilled water I buy at Walmart on my new Pro+ meter like yours. I am going to follow your thread to see if I am making a mistake, but I haven't seen Deionized water in stores that I am aware of. Maybe I just overlooked it. From what I have read, distilled water can be substituted for deionized water for most practical purposes. I hope our use is one of those acceptable substitutions.

I bought some 4.01 and 7.01 cal solutions along with a bottle of protein specific cleaner from Hanna Labs. I have read that using this cleaner will extend the life of our probes.

The distilled water sold at grocery stores and pharmacies is, if not completely, sufficiently deionized for rinsing pH electrodes and preparing buffers.

Thank you AJ.
