Hi,
Does anyone know if distilled water is easily available on the island?
Thanks.

It is as Scubaman pointed out, but did you actually mean filtered water? Although distilled water is technically safe to drink, it is stripped of any minerals and electrolytes that we still exist in most filtered waters. This can make the taste pretty bland, and for some people supplemental electrolytes are recommended. There's filtered water (and distilled water) just about everywhere on SXM.

And should you happen to be using ShopnDrop/Jeannie Gee for grocery prestocking, she offers it on her website.

Respectfully,

I always use tap water in the humidifier of my CPAP. If there is any buldup of residue, I just clean it out with a water/ vinegar mixture. I have been on a CPAP since 1991, and this works well for me.
