Thank you for your reply Malcolm, I do leave the distilled water for days and sometimes weeks before making the CS as I don't make much, only the odd 500ml which lasts me a fair time. Sorry to be a pain...dee Sent from my iPad On 19 Oct 2014, at 21:51, Malcolm s...@asis.com wrote: Hi Dee,

I make the distilled water myself and it has a 0 reading with my TDS meter. The tap water has a reading of over 300. The only thing might be, that I poured the distilled water into the jar which I make the CS in, without cleaning it out first as I thought this unnecessary. I wouldn't have

Oops! Left out one little part, changes in the water temp often bring on this cloudiness effect. On Sun, 2014-10-19 at 11:02 +0100, Dee wrote: I make the distilled water myself and it has a 0 reading with my TDS meter. The tap water has a reading of over 300. The only thing might be, that I

Hi Dee, Sorry; I didn't do a very good job of generalizing the whole idea. Here's what I suspect just might be happening in this particular case; when you make your distilled water perhaps some air becomes entrained - not hard to do when you boil water. As this water cools, there may be a

The answer is simple. Neither your tap water nor your distilled water is pure. Mains filtration plants are very good at removing particles, hence you will often see no laser line. On the other hand it probably still contains plenty of dissolved salts (invisible to a laser) so if you used a
