Dear Dee, PT, Others will chime in on this as well, but I'll be the first... <grin>
Since your meter only measures ions in the water, things that dissolve without becoming ions are not measured. Try adding some sugar to distilled water. Does the reading go up? (Be sure to thoroughly rinse the end of your meter afterwards.) Sugar dissolves, but the molecules stay in one piece, rather than breaking up into ions. On the other hand, salt, sodium chloride, NaCl, breaks up into Na+ and Cl- ions, which your meter *will* detect. Silver ions, Ag+ are also detected, but neutral silver species, Ag(metal) and maybe certain oxides and other chemical forms, wont be. The other concern is that even ionic forms of extremely potent toxins could be present in dangerous amounts that are below the detection range of your meter, as well. How much plasticizer is too much, eh? I don't know. Got plutonium oxide? Nasty stuff, and dangerously toxic in amounts way smaller than a fraction of a ppm, totally apart from it's radiological properties. So, while none of this says that you *have* any contaminants in your water, your meter readings aren't conclusive evidence that you don't -- just that it's probably good enough, all other things being equal and with reasonable care being taken. Dave's point about plasticizers is a reasonable one. Distilled water is really one of the toughest storage problems you'll commonly come across. You just have to decide for yourself if the plasticizer issue is important enough to you to justify the additional expense and effort.
