What kind of distilled water did you use? What was the source of the water? The reason why I ask is because of one very important factor that many fail to even consider and that is fluoride content. It's extremely reactive even in the smallest of amounts and distilling does not get rid of it. Only reverse Osmosis does. That's why you have some people on here from different parts of the world that have no problems and others do. It goes by territory as some do add fluoride to water and others do not. Things to take into consideration as well is that many people will list fluoride in 'ppm'. Some will list it as 0ppm but still may actually contain it as they are just not giving you the full information as it could actually be 0.9ppm and they simply drop the .9 part which apparently is legal to do. The smallest amount of Fluoride is very reactive as the fluoride used by municipalities to dump in the water in the name of health actually comes from aluminum smelt plants. Basically a toxic waste that is 20 times stronger then natural fluorine. I wrote this somewhere in the forums before but I don't think people take it serious enough. You have expensive parts...Protect them!
Here is the MSDS sheet for the stuff they put in the water in the US, Europe and Ireland from the very company that makes it. http://www.pelchem.com/pdf/H2SiF6-MSDS.pdf
If you take a look it shows this...
