Hi Ernie. Are you sure you dont mean deionized water? Distilled water is only water that has been boiled, and then the vapor has been condensed. This leaves all the goo and minerals and stuff behind, and leaves it pure. Deionized water is very corrosive, and that would wreck any cooling system unless everything was stainless steel. You are right that softened water is used in boilers, and its not overly corrosive. (It doesnt destroy the water heater and the pipes in your house, right?) But you are still taking a calcium (or magnesium, or iron) ion out of the water and swapping it with the sodium ion. The distilled water wont have either one... Also, if you are talking about a steam boiler, those also "blow down" on a fairly regular basis to remove all of the concentrated ions and minerals that are left behind from boiling the water away. Im just trying to clarify, not saying anything one way or the other... ~Bug
