What is distilled water in IndustrialCraft 2 experimental?

Distilled Water is a fluid from IndustrialCraft 2 Experimental. It can be created either in the Solar Distiller or the Condenser. The Solar Distiller only requires a direct path to the sky but is also very slow, generating only 1 mB of distilled water every few seconds.

How does a solar distiller work?

If you use a hopper/ejector upgrade/pulling upgrade, and you supply water via cells, the Solar Distiller will export both empty cells (from the left side, after draining the water) and distilled water cells. As its name implies, the Solar Distiller must have an open view to the sky directly above it during the daytime to operate.

Should I use distilled water instead of IC2 coolant?

Using 1 lapis dust (with distilled water) instead of 8 (with normal water) to make the coolant cells is definitely worth the effort IMO. IC2 Coolant is the only reason you'd be making distilled water, so basically they're one and the same thing. You're really not off base at all.
