Why BiDest water is important for Ultraclean

For Disco-Antistat Ultraclean, you should use BiDest water.

Why?
Because normal tap water can contain minerals and residues that remain on the record after drying. This can worsen the cleaning result and cause visible deposits. Knosti therefore explicitly advises against using tap water.

In short:
The purer the water, the better the result.
