    Smile Distilled Water You Buy In Stores.

    I have read some where that distilled water is made using copper pipes. Anyone heard of this?

    Haven't heard of it, but I hope you don't plan to use distilled water for your frogs.

    I'm sure that there are non metal specific ways that they make distilled water.

    No, distilled water is pure H2O and is mostly devoid of ions to include CU .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Distilled water is made by boiling the water and then condensing the steam. Distilled water needs to be supplemented with proper minerals to be effective for frogs. It is important to know that distilled water can be too pure to support life! I have used regular tap water treated with a good water conditioner, like Stress-Coat, for many years with great success. If you feel that your tap water is out of tolerance, try bottled spring water. Bottled drinking water comes directly from the tap or reverse osmosis!
