Distilled Water?
Posted by Boston_Jayhawk@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 19 comments
I will be in Budapest later this week, and I need to buy distilled water for my nebulizer. Where is the easiest place to buy it, and is it called “distilled water,” or should I be looking for another name (in Hungarian, of course)? We will be staying at the Courtyard Marriott in City Centre. Thanks so much in advance for any help!

It's called here Desztillált víz, ioncserélt víz

If going to Auchan, watch out for this product: https://auchan.hu/shop/ioncserelt-viz-5l.p-36325
The label is very misleading!

I literally fell for this. It is a scummy tactic because in some cases, having actual distilled water is essential.

Thanks for the clarification. I will look closely at the product to make sure it is distilled water.

Locals pointed out that both are not same. Look for Desztillált víz only.
I usually get from DM 2 or 5L

Oooh, great information to know. Thank you!

Ioncserélt víz nem ugyanaz mint a desztillált, orvosi célra nem ajánlott helyettesíteni vele, mert lehetnek benne nem ionos szennyeződések, amik pl. irritálhatják a nyálkahártyát.

Thanks for explaining the difference. I may not have caught this!

Thanks for clarifying

They are not the same, however.

When my father comes he gets it from the pharmacy.
The pharmacist said don't use what's at DM, it's different than what the cpap needs.

Good to know - thanks!

Dm, tesco, even gas stations, car parts stores will have it.
"Desztillált víz" is what you are looking for.
Some may give you "Ioncserélt víz", which is de-ionised water, not the same thing. That's fine for car use and ironing, but maybe not for medical use.

Thanks for the guidance. I appreciate it.
