    I had a labmate who insisted on ph testing distilled water. Not because he was concerned about contamination, but because it was part of the ritual.

      Is lab grade distilled water more guaranteed to be neutral pH? Because I tested some random distilled water from walmart and it was like 5.5. I then went down a rabbit hole and learned that distilled water is so pure that it just sucks up carbon from the air.
