It seems definitely the what here, as well as the concentration, Ode mentioned to me once that if I can get away with single distilling when the river is very high, whatever the contaminant is must be in lower concentration in the town water at those times. In my reply to Ole Bob, I should

Sol, when you run your still do you blow-off the first steam to the air for several minutes before you turn the steam into the condensing coils? If not many components that you don't want go over into your final product. I knew a doctor in New Orleans who could not use Mississippi

Zero..which can be as high as 2 [which isn't wonderful water] or even 3-4 microsiemens of conductivity [uS]..depending on how accurate your particular PPM meter is at such low ranges. Using a PWT or COM-100 .2 uS is the best I've seen. An average good is around .8 uS [or somewhere around

Crystal springs and Morning fresh farms seem to be fairly consistent. It all varies from jug to jug. One brand may be .2 uS one day and 2.5 uS, even 5 uS the next visit to the store. Ode At 11:42 PM 4/4/2006 -0400, you wrote: I'm wondering what brand of distilled water is the purest...

Most distilled water is produced *locally* to where it is sold. Therefore, it is necessary to try various brands in your area, and see which one works best for you, or is the least conductive when tested with a meter (PWT, TDS, COM-100). Commercially sold distilled water can also be quite

I actually use a PWT. A TDS is not sensitive enough for my needs. I need to have distilled water of no more than .4 uS, which is lower than a TDS can read, so I was lucky to have chosen a PWT 3 years ago. Commercial distilled water of all brands that are available where I am read .6 uS to well

You did help me with this a couple years or more ago. There is something in the water here that does not distill out easily. .4uS double distilled water makes perfect CS, .4uS single distilled does not, except when the river that is the source of the town water is very high. You helped
