Uh...no. [well, better than no water at all.]

If that were the end result, sure.

Even when a TDS meter read zero, assuming it reads properly, the water can be marginal. But water that reads 2 or even 3 can generally be used, depending on *what* makes it a 2 or 3.

..subtract that from the end result and double that number for silver content.


Distiller tips:

1] Carbon Pre-filter source water , remove any post filters.
2] Don't fill up the boiling chamber all the way..to prevent boil over into the condenser...if there is any way to slow it down, slow it down...ideally, the water shouldn't boil, just vaporize. 3] Discard the first bit that comes out to get rid of any volatiles the carbon pre-filter may have missed

If it doesn't measure up, return it to the distiller and re-start at #2

..and don't let the distiller run dry as that will encrust it with minerals that can be tough to remove...discard that last bit and rinse. Periodically apply acid to clean the camber and condenser of mineral deposits. CLR, white vinegar, Muriatic [concrete cleaner from the home despot aka Hydrochloric acid..use that stuff outside. ]

I bought a water distiller and TDS meter.  After distilling the water
it reads 5 PPM.  Is this good enough to make CS?

Thanks,
