Are you using the charcoal filter which comes with it? If so, then this is the reason for your problems. I use a similar product but don't use the filter which came with the machine. When I used to filter mine through a Brita before distilling, I got a reading of 2. Now I only distill once using cold tap water then boiling it. I tip off the very first bit of water and then carry on. I get a reading of 000 every time using this method and my CS is always clear. dee
