​An ion exchange filter removes minerals and replaces them with water, 
so they are a good part of preparing water for your distiller (it will stay a 
lot cleaner).  
But they also greatly reduce the conductivity (TDS) of tap water, 
if you can't find distilled water to make CS.​

We were just out shopping and my wife pointed out the "Water Store" next
to where we often shop.  Went in and distilled water is $0.70/gallon in
your own container.  We just bought three gallons of the Walmart water
at $1.07/gallon ($0.88 + California bottle charge).  Next time we go
shopping I'll take my TDS meter and a small cup and ask to test their
water.  Might check around your area for water stores.

Subject: CS>distilled water

Hi,
What happened with Great Value/Wal-Mart distilled water was, it worked great in 
the CS machine but then I got a whiff of overwhelmingly offensive odor.  I have 
no idea how long this had been going on but it was enough to make me stop in my 
tracks.  I decided to go ahead and make another batch of CS but it too stank to 
high heaven.  I have never used another gallon of Great Value distilled water.  
All the gallons of distilled water and the new batch of CS were tossed.  The 
odor was in the plastic jugs.  Out of curiosity, am I the only one who has 
noticed this?
I think you all are right, when you find a good source of distilled water, stay 
with it.  In this case it will be Walgreens even if I have to pay triple.
Interesting thought that if distilled water was unavailable, rain water would 
probably work fine.  
Thank you,
Jean


 I agree. I have a TT distiller and find that I am much better off
 buying the DW.


 As I recall Jean got a bad batch from Walmart. I get "Great Value"
 distilled water there - steam D, microfil & ozonation with never
 a bad gallon. I have had a bad Arrowhead brand from Groc. store.

Might be worth trying Walmart again.

 Distillers require maintenance and you will run into the

 Source water counts.
 Minerals build up  
Boil over contaminates coils.
Volatiles come through first.

Rain water is natures purest as it is distilled by
 nature..but comes out of a dirty container that should be well
 rinsed before using. [Let it rain a while before collecting]

I'm happy with mine, a countertop steam distiller but it takes about 3 hours 
time and when I'm busy I find it simpler to purchase Walgreens Nice brand.PT
