I would wait and get the fluid for your meter.

Some TDS meters are calibrated with fluid over 1000 TDS. Mine uses 1382.

Using distilled water wouldn't work.

i wouldnt trust distilled to be 0 tds, most of the time it isnt, post this to randy in the chemistry forum he has a formula you can make with baking soda? not sure, but it works..................
