Types of Water to flush cartridges

[capricorn12]

I just want to say thank you for sharing with us the different types of water to flush cartridges. This is my first time to know that we can also use filtered water if we use reverse osmosis filter system. And we must use distilled water for last phase of cleaning.

I never thought there's a required type of water for cleaning cartridges. Silly me!

But it makes sense.

In Australia the supermarkets carry 4lt bottles of demineralised water for use in steam irons, costs about $4 AU.
I use tap water for the first rinse then a couple syringes of demineralised water, then suck out the water with a vacuum pump.

Thanks for sharing your insights on which types of water will work to flush out the cartridges. My local printing guy told me he recommended distilled or ro water for cleaning the cartridges. You can buy gallons of distilled water at the grocery store and it is working great for me. I am guaranteed with distilled water to have no hardness, scale, or ph issues.

Wow $4 for little more than a gallon of distilled water? Here stateside it's the same cost as drinking water $1 a gallon.

I like all the suggestions on what type of water to use to flush out cartridges. I must be spoiled in this part of the world where the tap water is PH natural and very low in calcium (soft water) it works just fine for cartridges. The best place to get distilled water is the ice in your freezer. It would make you Green with envy
