Re: CS>Ph of Distilled water?>A couple of questions JOH

[sol]

Marshall,
 If Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (baking soda) is added to DW before making 
CS/EIS, what compound is made? Didn't it used to be fairly common to use it, 
and don't some people still use it? 
  Yesterday I made a batch adding a pinch of baking soda, a very, very minute 
amount, not enough to begin to affect the pH of the distilled water and it 
raised the uS to 48 (the DW started at .3) I ran the batch until the uS went to 
73.8 and it is still water clear 24 hrs later, but what have I got really?
TIA, paula
