The answer is simple. Neither your tap water nor your distilled water is
pure. Mains filtration plants are very good at removing particles, hence
you will often see no laser line. On the other hand it probably still
contains plenty of dissolved salts (invisible to a laser) so if you used
a meter in the mains water you would get a significant reading.
If your distilled water is displaying a laser line it contains fine
particles, so its either not distilled in the first place or its being
contaminated after distilling. Unless your glass jar is obviously
unclean its not likely to add significant particles to the water.

I shone a laser through my distilled water and I got a distinct Tyndall
effect, just the same as I get through my finished CS. Can anyone
explain this? If I shine it through tap water there is nothing...dee
