Distillers are difficult to maintain

Our units are designed for little maintenance in normal situations.  The boiling tank should periodically be drained to dispose of the contaminants which have been removed from your drinking water (the automatic drain units do this automatically).  The boiling tank should be cleaned every few months, although this may vary depending on water conditions in your area. Depending on your water conditions, each unit also incorporates an activated carbon post-filter which requires changing every three to six months.

Distillation systems are expensive to operate

Distillation systems use about 3 kWh of electricity for each gallon of water that is distilled.  The national average cost of electricity per kWh in the US is 6¢ which means each gallon of distilled water costs about 18¢, a fraction of the cost of buying bottled water!  You can find your personal cost per gallon by multiplying 3 times the kWh rate in your area.

Distillation cannot remove volatile organics

Some articles have been written about distillation systems being unable to remove volatile organics (organic chemicals that have a boiling point lower than water).  They claim these gases carry over with the steam.  To ensure this does not happen, our units are equipped with patented twin volatile gas vents on the condensing coil, which remove virtually all of these contaminants.  For even further protection, each unit is equipped with an activated carbon post-filter to provide you with high quality distilled water with a 99% removal rate of virtually all contaminants.

Distilled water leach minerals from my body

Absolutely, not...in fact just the opposite has been found to occur in cellular research studies.  It is a mistaken belief that drinking pure distilled water reduces valuable minerals from living human tissues.

There are two types of minerals, organic and inorganic.  Human physiology has a biological affinity for organic minerals.  Most organic minerals for our body functions come from dietary plant foods.  A growing plant converts the inorganic minerals from the soils to a useful organic mineral. 

Tap water presents a variety of inorganic minerals which our body has difficulty absorbing.  Their presence is suspect in a wide array of degenerative diseases, such as hardening of the arteries, arthritis, kidney stones, gall stones, glaucoma, cataracts, hearing loss, emphysema, diabetes, and obesity.  What minerals are available, especially in "hard" tap water, are poorly absorbed, or rejected by cellular tissue sites, and, if not evacuated, their presence may cause arterial obstruction, and internal damage.  Even if the human tissue suddenly developed the ability to absorb inorganic minerals from tap water, it would take an enormous amount of tap water to supply the bare minimal mineral quantities for human life functions.  If (for example) the rich inorganic mineral content of the tap water in Reno, Nevada were modified so that it would convert the daily Calcium requirement (RDA) from its inorganic calcium solutes, you would have to drink 7.4 gallons of their tap water!

When  inorganic minerals are "removed" from tap water, by converting it into pure distilled water, the result is a remarkable biological mineral absorption for both health and maximal metabolic activity (click HERE for more information).
