Chemist will have it, garages used to have it for batteries, not sure if they have nowadays, collect rainwater and filter, also I think most bottled water is pure enough to use for this tbh.

I thought as much, im sure its just to avoid limescale water and particals?

Would boiling the water not purify it as a matter of interest?

Boiling purifies it as regards bacteria, and removes some limescale but not all of it. There is very little limescale in bottled water, I am a coffee addict and have to be careful with an expresso machine I use as regards this

Rainwater collected in a glass or suitable plastic coatiner and filtered has exactly the same purity levels as bottled water and zero limescale. If you boiled it as well then it is 100% pure.

Funny old country, we have pure water falling on us all the time and disregard it

If you have a condenser tumble drier the water that collects is pretty limescale free and just needs a bit of a filter to take out any particles. I use it for the iron

Jasus I do, I think I have some coffee filters lying around and could run it through those

Think the ice buildup in a fridge or freezer is pretty pure distilled water too

I got deionised water in Tesco the other day for topping up my car battery.
That's the same thing as you're looking for as far as I know.
It says its for steam irons and all that as well...
