Is distilled water safe to mix

Distilled will still have TDS readings. Much lower then tap but still there. Ro/Di is the way to go

I have no doubt that this has been true for some, but my experience with distilled is different. Several gallons tested 0 TDS, I have never tested one that had any measurable TDS.

If for no other reason, an RO/DI unit is an investment that will pay for itself over time.

Your probably right.It probably depends on the quality of the product honestly but distilled will by far be better then tap.
