obtaining CPAP distilled water in Costa Rica

I am exploring means to purchase distilled water for our trip to Costa Rica.  Need about 80oz(=2400ml).  Radisson Hotel manager has no knowledge of such. Was not planning on taking via checked baggage, since it may not arrive in time to intercept.  Am told that local pharmacies may carry.  Called Farmacia Saba San Jose today; attempted conversation with staff in broken Spanish/English.  Not sure if they have it; couldn't determine the price or container size and he didn't seemed inclined to offer delivery to the hotel. I may need to go via cab to the pharmacy, if they indeed have the distilled water. I would appreciate any advise re this issue.  Thanks, Mike Sammer, 479-295-6279.  Email: msammer911@gmail.com.

    How costly would it be to ship a case to hotel?  Or ask if the Group Leader may purchase for you.  I saw this done on my last trip but that was domestic.  You can reimburse them when you arrive. 

    I have shipped items to hotel from Amazon and pick up at front desk.  Check this article https://www.yoreoyster.com/shipping/amazon-costa-rica/  You can take a few 20 ounce bottles to tide you over just in case.

    I have also heard about TSA approved bottled water for CPAP (although an unexperienced TSA agent may not allow)  https://www.amazon.com/Resway-Respironics-Humidifier-Demineralized-Antibacterial/dp/B07PLM98Y7/ref=asc_df_B07PLM98Y7/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343161321564&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12984877740344513049&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014832&hvtargid=pla-731118648395&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=71833457274&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=343161321564&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12984877740344513049&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014832&hvtargid=pla-731118648395
