We have tested several brands of distilled water for purity, and the two best we have found are Crystal Springs and Kroger (Which I believe is relabeled Crystal Springs). If the glass you use has any impurity in it, say a little diswashing detergent film on it, or if you stick a sweatly finger into the water, or handle the silver and get some body salt on it, the trace of salt can make a tremendous difference. If you leave the water exposed to air for a length of time it can absorb carbon dioxide, which forms carbonic acid, and also will drop the resistance tremendously.
