Sounds like a place where the Hanna TDS meter just might shine :). THe Cullysprings (and Safeway - I suspect it is Cullysprings bottled under the Safeway brand name) has a reading of one (1) fresh out of the bottle - consistantly so far. I'll have to correlate that against the 1cm probe values to see what happens.
