Martin,
You obviously used pure enough water based on your results. Deionization
is a means of purifying water that is less costly than distillation and is
frequently used in both laboratory and industrial applications.
If you have a choice at your local store, pick distilled and carbon
filtered. This is commonly available, at least in Ohio, and what I use
for all of my chemistry. The reason is that the distillation process can
still allow volatile organic compounds to pass which the carbon filtration
removes providing very pure water.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely, Art
