"To those who buy their distilled water and test it before brewing cs, how pure is it?"
Highly variable. The best I ever tried was "Arrowhead". That did not register any PPM or mS with my Sprite 6000, that reads to tenths. Depending on your process, there is an optimum conductivity above completely pure water. I adjust mine with tap water to be 1.5 mS or, about 0.8 PPM. Those who cannot acquire a reasonably precise meter---mine is just adequate, I would like to be able to read hundredths---may try calling a local bottle water service and asking them if you can bring by a sample ; they may test it for you with their meter. I have done that in the past and they seemed interested in doing it so they could see the quality of their competition's water.

If so, what brand distiller are you using and what are your test results? I just bought an Ecopure distiller and can't get better than 6 ppm according to the Hanna PWT even after taking out the carbon filter. I read somewhere that 3 ppm is the benchmark. To those who buy their distilled water and test it before brewing cs, how pure is it?
