Good question Jack but I don't have an answer. I'm in the same boat as the rest of you folks. We usually distill our own with a Barnstead still that makes a gallon an hour. It usually come out at 1.6 uS maximum and that's pretty repeatable. Even if I de-scale the unit it seems to always come out the same. So apparently there's always a little bit of mineralization entrained in the water that comes over the helm.
My feeling is that many folks are picking fly sh** out of the pepper flakes. It just isn't worth the effort. Triple nine silver and well distilled water should be plenty good enough for everyone except the absolute purists.
