That is definitely the problem. This is what I did the first time I distilled water--I put it through a filter. The finished water read 2. Then I distilled it again--and the reading actually went up to 3! Just use cold tap water...boil it in a kettle and tip it into the distiller still boiling. When the first tiny bit goes into the holding vessel...tip it off. Then just let it distill until the end. Apparently, boiling the water causes the volatile gas to 'burn' off because it only takes gas or whatever...to make impurities. You then make sure by tipping off the very first amount that comes out of the distiller. dee
