Rinse it out with tap water, put some pure in it, leave it for a couple of days then check the TDS.  If it's still the same as it was when you put it in, just ignore what was in before and carry on.

If it increases then you've got probs :

Heavy degreasant and leave to soak. (not too long tho as can eat plastic) I also used a hot pressure washer to clean it out
