THE WATER WE DRINK…

Product Resources: Water Distillers

This section offers information on water distillation and reverse osmosis (consumer and light commercial grade) products that are available for family purchase and use. It’s purpose is to inform and provide links to products that are available for purchase only after searching for and deciding those products fall within the guidelines of what we scrutinize to be a dependable and high quality product that delivers a water purity level of not less than 98%. This level cannot be achieved through any other purification process other than distillation (and some systems of reverse osmosis). We do not recommend any other systems of water purification.

What defines a good water purification system for your family. How much should you spend, and what you should expect for your purchase price.

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.
