Try this with your tabletop distiller.
To use your own distiller do the following.
1. Remove the carbon discharge filter. It makes the water conductive.
2. Fill the boiling chamber no more than 3/4 full.
3. Distill only 1/2 gallon into the receiver.
4. Discard the remainder in the boiling chamber.
5. Repeat steps 2,3 and 4. You now have one gallon in the receiver.
6. Put 3/4 gallon of this water in the boiling chamber.
7. Distill only 1/2 gallon into the receiver.
Allow to cool and try to use it.
I hope this helps.

will it be good enough?
what about you and pure water?
Distillers can be a gamble. I have heard of the cheap ones not distilling
water to sufficient purity to make good CS, and I have also heard of $400
distillers that also did not do a good enough job and had to be sent back.
My distiller (the cheapest one available) did a very good job for around 6
years, but just died. We are going to go with purchased DW for a while and
see if it is better than it was back when I bought the still. I can do
that, because I own a Hanna PWT water test meter............I think that
is a good first step if you can afford a good meter such as the Hanna PWT
or the COM-100, because if you have never made your own CS before you
can't know how pure you need the distilled water to be. Where I live, it
needs to be .2uS to .3 uS (considerably lower than a TDS meter can read)
for reliably clear CS making. However, most places people can use
distilled water up to 3.0 uS and still get clear CS.
