In theory, yes…in reality, no. Rainwater would be ok if pure but it isn’t. It collects stuff from the atmosphere as it forms and falls. Distilled water is what you want. It’s about $1/gal just about anywhere water is sold. I get it from Walmart for 67-cents/gal.

If you run a dehumidifier then you should use that. It's not only pure, it's de-ionised as well.<br />My mechanic gets me to save ours for his garage use!<br />Ross
