I think the manufacturer uses distilled water for sake of better stability
and ultimate consistency of the *stock* solution.

I dilute my PVAc glue with simple tap water w/o adverse effects. I even use
the same water for diluting my stock Pyrocat-MC film developer, again w/o
any ill effects. (But I use the developer one shot.)

Regards,
Loris.

What exactly is it about non-distilled water that we want to avoid? I'm
trying to figure out if Icelandic tap water is just as good.
