Yes I have a catch tank at the top of my tumble drier which I'm guessing does the same job as a dehumidifier but for a different application. Either way it seems I now ave an endless source of distilled water. I'm feeling all Col Hannibal Smith at the moment lol.

Or you can just go and buy some distilled water. It is actually cheaper than bottled drinking water.

Put some anti-freeze in there too, it contains corrosion inhibitants to stop the cooling system corroding! :)

Most likely as been noted years of being run on tap water without anti-freeze.

Just like the minerals clog up shower heads and kettles they do the same to the bike.

Good flush out with a hose pipe stuck in all ways to declog everything. You can get chemical treatments, I used a 2 part (acid / neutraliser combo) on my 24 that was really bad and it came up like new.

Anti-freeze / distilled water changed and the recommended intervals and no problems with it since, that was in 2008 I did that so coming upto 5 years.
