Hi this is a new post looking here in Nicaragua to see if anyone knows where to buy this water.

I can't remember seeing distilled water in Nicaland, but I haven't looked either. If I were looking for it, I would try the farmacias. Most of them are very helpful. Our farmacist speaks English and has helped us find many things. There are several Nica facebook sites, you might try asking there.

If I needed it for medicinal reasons, I would be prepared to distill it myself until I could find some.

The solar electric places have it but it's expensive.

There are any number of plans available for building a solar still, and if taste is not a factor, can be done cheaply.

I don't know what your need is, but I use a lot for my batteries. I've been using a Brita filter for my needs, not perfect but removes a lot of mineral.

That Zero Water filter might work even better, and would be affordable given the relatively small amount of water needed for batteries (in comparison to drinking).

I use the Brita for all my drinking needs, Condega clorinates the water and the Brita removes that.

You might try a big autoparts store. I somehow doubt distilled water is used in Nica batteries, but give it a try.

OT a little:
Are you sure you need distilled water? My buddy used 2 different cpap machines and one even had a heated humidifier chamber. He use tap water that was fairly low mineral but a vinegar treatment as part of the normal cleaning took care of that.
He claimed some water had amoebas in it that would completely eat your brain out so he boiled up a supply in a big stew pan first.
If that is true how does anybody still have a brain? Whatever.

Boiling some of the water in a pan until it's gone will give you a good idea of the disolved mineral content in the water.

The water in Condega is hard as a a rock, the water from my spring. The water from my spring on the farm is very soft.
