There are many quality counter top steam distillers available for around $300.00, and perhaps your needs justify spending 200 to 300.00. Keep in mind however, the building up of residue and the effect on the lifetime of your investment. (See the average per ca-pita water consumption in the US in the recent past). You will see that if you are one of the many Americans purchasing bottled distilled or even less economical, bottled spring water, most of which are simply filtered city water, still containing many unwanted chemicals, (see FDA standards on bottled water) you are spending anywhere from $360.00 to well over $500.00 per year per person. In either case we urge everyone to purchase for consumption, only bottled water labeled “distilled” if you decide it not to be an affordable investment at this rough economic time.
How much water should you expect to generate from a quality home kitchen counter top water distillation appliance and how long should it take?
Typically, you should expect at least 1 liter per hour of complete water decontamination. This will easily provide enough pure drinking water void of soluble salts and other harmful chemicals that filtration and chemically treated water cannot and do not remove.

In 2006, in the U.S. alone, Americans consumed about 26 gallons per person or 7.8 billion gallons of bottled water. That number does not include the sparkling or fortified water categories. source: “Food & Water Watch”
Bottled Water Consumption According to “National Beverage Industry”:
About 26 gallons per person or 7.8 billion gallons in non-sparkling water in US for 2006 source: “Beverage Marketing Corporation” About 28 gallons per person or 8.4 billion gallons including sparkling and fortified water categories in US for 2006 source: “Beverage Marketing Corporation” (see chart below)
Beverage World Magazine, April 2006
“A continuing success story for the bottled water category has been the steady rise in per capita consumption, which sat at 23.8 gallons per capita in 2004. ‘Bottled water is about 26 gallons per capita now and if you add in enhanced and fortified waters, it’s closer to 27 or 28 gallons,’ [Michael] Bellas asserts. Per cap consumption of bottled water has risen steadily since 1976 and the bottled water category has managed to more than double its per cap consumption level since 1995, when consumers drank an average of 11.7 gallons.”
Additional bottled water facts:
- The Food and Drug Administration regulates only the 30 to 40 percent of bottled water sold across state lines.
- Nearly 40 percent of bottled water is simply filtered or treated tap water.
- U.S. plastic bottle production requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel 100,000 cars.
- About 86 percent of the empty plastic water bottles in the United States land in the garbage instead of being recycled.

Environmental group take on the beverage industry and threaten one of the most lop-sided, profit for money making $$ margin products of all time. The Group, “Take Back The Tap” urges for a move back toward tap water habits in order to stop, or reduce, hills of (hard-to-break-down, non bio-degradable) plastic waste generated by the disposal of plastic bottles. The so-called “purified, fortified, and spring water beverages have seen a phenominal increase in bottled water sales and risk the threat of damaging their huge profit margin making child, through the exposure of truth, regarding weak FDA regulations, on what is allowed to wear the label “Purified and/or Spring Water” on a public that is really the only looser. Consumption: (the one statistic on which both sides agree)
