Hi Dorothy, Maybe your Brita filter is adding contamination to your water or your distiller tank is "shedding" a little crud after having been run twice and getting heated up for the first and second time. If the SS tank was treated with anything in its manufacturing process this might be getting into the DW, though most people don't test their finished product as you have been doing, and would never know what you may have just discovered. Probably, a couple more runs with the distiller might be enough to clean it out and provide you with purer water.
Just a thought or two.

This was just water boiled in the kettle and then put in the distiller. The second lot went through a Brita filter first before boiling and then steam distilling. after the first time, it read 002 on the TDS so I distilled it again. Then it came out at 003! I just can't understand it at all. The tyndall was in water from the first batch *before* I put the electrodes in, so I don't understand that at all either. dee On 16 Nov 2009, at 13:09, Neville Munn wrote: I get the impression you're concerned about this, why would that be? Some DW shows TE some don't, some end product shows TE and some don't have as much, it all depends on which way one parted their hair on the day they brewed it <g>.
