TDS meter calibration

What can I use if any, besides the manufacture's solution to calibrate my TDS meter?

Hi, I have heard that some chemists can make solutions up to test digital pH meters, perhaps they could do the same for a TDS Meter? Ask for a solution with a certain TDS content and then set the meter up accordingly. Its a long shot but it might work.

I use bottled distilled water from the pharmacy, it has always read 0 TDS
