Not sure about stores but we order it at work from Fisher Scientific.

I am just curious. What is lab grade? And what is the use?

I was thinking the same thing.

It's very high purity. We use it to analyze samples along with HPLC water but that's about $50 for a gallon.

What Sean said - very pure water. What I'm looking for is DI water filtered down to 0.05 micron and UV treated - about 12.95 plus shipping. Some of the electronic testers (i.e. Hanna) are very sensitive to the DI water used as part of the test (especially their phosphate & CA testers) and creates some skewing. That's what I'm using it for - testing. Getting some variances in back to back tests. Feedback I'm getting is the RODI water I'm using is causing it. For $13 + shipping, I'll find out.

$50 a gallon! Must be some seriously high grade stuff.

I only want $50 water to come in a mason jar, and have a KICK!!

I use distilled water with my Hanna checkers. How pure is that?
