Default Distilled water

I live out of the city and for the last year and a half of my saltwater endeavor, I've been hauling water from work in 5 gal pails. I have well water and there is a tds of 2700ppm. I recently purchased a distiller and I find that even with a carbon filter on the output of the distiller I still end up with a tds of approx 40. I've been thinking that maybe I'll try running a di cartridge in place of the carbon filter. I wonder if these final 40ppm of tds is something to be concerned with? Should I do some extra water parameter testing of some sort?
