Bacteriostatic water vs sterile water

[CheapPinz]

What's the difference you ask?

Basically they're the same with one exception, the bact water has benzyl alcohol as a preservative. This means the liquid will have a longer shelf life.

The downside?...If you have a product that gets damaged by ba, you'll want to stick with the sterile water.

Conclusion: in a pinch they both accomplish the same. If you plan on using the liquid up fairly quickly, it won't matter which one you use. If you think its going to be a while and you're certain the ba won't harm the active ingredient, go with the bact water.

Good info, thanks!

What are some general timelines around 'fairly quickly' and 'a while'?

lets talk about sodium chloride.. I use it with IGFLR3 instead of aa/bw

what are your thoughts on that?

Is the BA content of bac water to high for use in removing excess BA from gear?
