0 RyanH 14 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 DI or NI? Never heard of NI...doesn't mean it doesn't exist. DI water is water that has been "de-ionized." Deionization is the process of removing ions from the water. The ions can be sodium, calcium, fluorine, chlorine, magnesium, etc. Ions usually come in pairs, one being positively charged and the other negatively charged, and can only exist in an aqueous solution (like in water). Once the water dries up, the ions pair up (positive to negative) and form salts, like sodium chloride (table salt), calcium chloride (the filler in calcium hypochlorite), etc., and leaves the residue on a surface in the form of spots. All bottled water, tap water, well water, and other sources of water contain ions to some degree, and using de-ionized water is the only way to ensure the purity. That's why so many people here suggest using DI water when doing window washing and even car washing (especially on dark colored surfaces). Drinking only DI water is not suggested, and is DEFINITELY not a good idea while on the job for a long hot day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
