I use a CPAP machine and I can only use distilled water. I am hearing it’s hard to find distilled water jn Cuenca. Is this the case or not, please let me know if there are any places I can find it in Cuenca. Thanks.

I tried both they look at me as if I was crazy. I am going to try mall del rio. I’ll keep trying the pharmacies. Supremacy has it in the auto isle and I don’t think it’s the same one. I appreciate your response. Thank you

While not marketed as "distilled water," the PURE brand available with others in the water aisle down at Superman, and every little tienda, seems to ME to be just that. It has NO added ingredients, and is derived from reverse-osmosis, so I do believe it meets the definition.

Correction: the spell corrector changed it when I wrote SUPERMAXI. The thing is that PURE is sold wherever other drinking waters are offered, meaning everywhere. It is a major brand. And unless someone corrects me, the legally required ingredients label shows NOTHING in it except for pure H2O, making it distilled.

Thanks buddy. I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find it. I was disappointed that they didn’t have any distilled water. Am ok now am back in the states and next time I’ll bring plenty of distilled water to last me for a few months.

I have been using a cpap machine for years. Here in Ecuador and also back home in the U.S. I take my RO water and boil it and it works fine. This is what I have always done .

@Kimac
I'm fairly sure PURE water sold in shops is not DISTILLED. Water can be just water and not distilled.

For actually distilled check the car section in the bigger supermarkets as distilled water is often found there as it's needed for motors
