Whatcha interested in over there in Trinidad my friend? DI water? 
Yeah... the basis of DI water NEEDING to "bond" is what spurs the "to drink or not to drink" debate over DI water consumption. Some felt that if you drink this water, it could cause problems, to include the chance of ulceration of the stomach etc. I think it's bunk. As a matter of fact, using that same phillosophy, one could say that DI water is a "cleanser" and can strip you of the IMPURITIES within....whatever... I think it just tastes nasty (No offense Roberto)  When dissolved solids are removed from water, the resulting water is "hungry". In the case of DI, you can literally use it for cleaning purposes. It will help lift grease, wax etc. because it WANTS To stick to something. DI water is used in "manufacturing rinses" all the time; from the production of computer chips, to the treatment of automobiles chassis before painting. It's amazing!
Did you know that DI water can not "conduct" electricity either? DO NOT EXPERIMENT WITH THIS!!! I'd not want you to find out the "hard way" that your water is not as pure as you think But, in any case, this is true. It's often used as an insulation medium! For what it's worth, WATER is NOT capable of conducting, it is the impurities in the water that actually "conduct".
As a matter of fact, for those of you who use Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) meters, that technology is based upon the surveying of electrical current in the water...the more pure the water, the lower the conductivity. 0 PPM= Good water and no chance of electroconductivity 350 PPM = sludge and the ability of transfer.
