FAQs

Can I drink Silverhook De-Ionised Water?

No, de-ionised water is not intended for consumption. It lacks essential minerals and can be harmful if ingested in significant quantities.

What is the difference between de-ionised and distilled water?

Both de-ionised and distilled water are low in impurities. Distilled water has impurities removed by boiling and condensing steam, while de-ionised water has ions removed through an ion-exchange process. For most automotive and household applications, they are interchangeable.

How often should I use de-ionised water in my steam iron?

It is recommended to use de-ionised water every time you refill your steam iron to prevent limescale buildup and ensure optimal performance.

Can I use de-ionised water in my car's radiator without antifreeze?

While de-ionised water itself won't harm the radiator, it offers no freeze or boil-over protection. It should only be used as a diluent for appropriate antifreeze or coolant mixtures.

Will using de-ionised water improve my car's performance?

Using de-ionised water in the cooling system or battery helps maintain optimal performance by preventing scale and mineral buildup, rather than directly boosting performance.

Where is Silverhook De-Ionised Water manufactured?

Silverhook De-Ionised Water is manufactured in the UK.

What is the shelf life of de-ionised water?

When stored correctly in a sealed container, de-ionised water has a very long shelf life. However, it's best to use it within a reasonable timeframe after opening to ensure purity.

Troubleshooting

White residue in steam iron after use

Ensure you are exclusively using the Silverhook De-Ionised Water and not a mixture with tap water. Clean the steam iron according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Cloudy screen wash mixture

The de-ionised water should not cause cloudiness. Check the screen wash concentrate for any potential issues or ensure the de-ionised water container was properly sealed and uncontaminated.

Battery not holding charge well after topping up

While de-ionised water prevents mineral issues, ensure the battery is otherwise healthy. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure the charging system is functioning correctly. If using for the first time on an old battery, other factors may be contributing to poor performance.
