That would be my thought. I don't buy it or test it, but by definition distilled is evaporated and pure of any dissolved solids, if the label is honest...
All this talk of 100+ ppm gives me the willies. (even though the government tells me its safe to drink water that is up to 500 ppm.)
I am still dirt based, and have an RO/DI system at home that really does pull out nearly all TDS, I see about 1-2 PPM with all new filters, starting with local river-fed reservoir municipal water that is 40- 50 ppm. I'm using the RODI for my make up water in my saltwater aquarium and my boat batteries...
I've been wondering if anyone making water on board has gone to the trouble of adding the RODI type system on the boat, or if its just too wasteful energywise...they are really like a second watermaker, generating 2-3 gallons (or more) of wastewater for every gallon of RODI made, but man its good stuff.
