The distilled water at my local grocers reads at 170ppm...

I noticed some of my plants weren't growing well so I got a TDS meter to test my water.
The "distilled" water from my local grocery store reads as 170ppm.
My tap water came up as about 67ppm.
Water from my fridges water dispenser (and the filter inside) has read from between 51 and 56ppm.
I'm a little frustrated since I did lose some sundews and couldn't figure out why, but on the other hand it does make me feel better about some of my plants not doing great since I have someone else to blame . Seeing my tap water that clean is nice too. I would have liked for it to be just a little tiny bit lower, but the water from my fridge isn't so bad...
Those of us who still purchase distilled water might want to consider investing in a TDS meter. Apparently not every business can be trusted to actually give you what they're claiming to sell you...
