Distilled water, by definition, will always be 0 TDS. Distillation involves taking a liquid (water) and converting it to a gas (water vapor) then condensing it back to liquid (water again). You can't dissolve a solid in a gas, so there are no dissolved solids remaining after distillation.

There are no carbon or sediment filters or DI resin involved in distilled water. If you really mean to ask about RO/DI water, then you may very well read some TDS for the first few minutes of operation or the first hour or so after replacing the membranes.
