First and best choice: RO/DI Water (Reverse Osmosis/Deionized Water) Mix w/ your own salt. You can buy your own RO/DI unit and make your own or most lfs have it available. If you like some of the other members at RB have some suggestions where to buy one of the units for a good price. Just ask away. Im sure someone will give you a direction to look.

Second choice: Distilled water. Mixed with your own salt. Walmart has it for 65 cents gal

Third choice: There are no more. IMHO
