TDS in store bought distilled water.
I have no way currently to check TDS. I was wondering has anybody ran a test on store bought distilled water. Since my tank is only 29 gal I only have to keep a 2 gal jug around. I have never had any problems I was just curious if anybody has checked this out. The last thing I want is another hair algae outbreak.

TDS wouldn't be a good measure of things that might be wrong with it, such as copper dissolved from exposure to metal pipes. Many people use distilled water OK, but that doesn't guarantee that it is always OK.
