List: I heartily endorse that comment. I bought three different "steam-distilled" waters at our local supermarket. Here are the resistivities of these waters as measured by my (amateur) ohmmeter.
Tap Water: 376,000 Ohms Reverse Osmosis Water: 690,000 Ohms "Janette Lee" Distilled Water: 903,000 Ohms "Ozarka" Distilled Water: 1,300,000 Ohms "Oasis" Distilled Water: 2,000,000 Ohms Now, I admit that my measurement techniques and equipment leave something to be desired. However, I tried to keep the test conditions the same for all tested samples. I am investigating acquiring a standard probe for measuring resistivity, and when I do I will report back to the group. In the meantime, use the very best distilled water you can find.

I used a Hanna TDS1 to check some Sure-Fine "Distilled Water', bottled in Little Rock, AR, and it tested at 23ppm. I switched brands bought at the same store, and got distilled water at 1ppm. So it ain't all the same folks!!! Jim Einert, N.D. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
