Is using Seachem Prime removing toxic substances have similar effects as distilled water ?

Nope cos the water may have silicates and other stuff which may change the water parameters when you add salt. The tap water parameters is also not constant. The ions in the treated tap water may also react with your salt too. So best to use distilled water.

I just tested Meadows Distilled Water with a TDS meter ... think different batches may have some issues ...

Just be careful ... suppose should check before using ... FYI, only ...
