Assuming your still is new, or at least one component in it is, you don't want to drink the sacrificial run.
The idea is to remove any residue of machining and soldering chemicals left on the equipment. You are lucky that it's a turbo wash, as you mentioned not a big loss; throw that away when you are finished distilling it, or keep it as bbq starter, windows cleaner anything that doesn't involve it going into your body.
Your TPW will be your first real product and as Wellsy already mentioned, you have an opportunity to get to know your still and get familiar with the process.
Enjoy the experience and maybe start thinking about what to put to ferment next :)
