How Does A Water Distiller Work? A water distiller is an appliance that uses the process of distillation to purify and desalinate water. The process involves boiling the water until it vaporizes and then condensing the vapour back into a liquid. During this process, all bacterial, chemical, or organic contaminants are left behind in separate containers, leaving you with pure distilled water.
Most tap water contains a mix of pollutants. Even bottled and filtered waters contain impurities. The only guaranteed way to get the absolute purest water is steam distillation using a water distiller. Distilled water is 99.9% pure water. By using a water distiller you get water that is purer than any bottled or tap water and purer than any other type of filtration or purification method.
How does the Megahome 943TWS Water Distiller work? With our water distiller, the water is first gently boiled. This kills off viruses and bacteria and leaves most of the pollutants behind. The steam is then captured in a stainless steel coil where it cools to form pure water. This water then passes through an activated charcoal filter to finally remove any trace impurities.
How does it compare to bottled water? You would be surprised at how many pollutants there are in bottled water AND it is expensive. Look at the picture below with the brown scum that gets left behind after distillation. We ran our water distiller for 7 days doing 4 litres of tap water a day. This is what was left behind.
A list of Common Water Impurities removed by water distillers: Organic Chemicals: Antibiotics, Fertilizers, Pesticides, Insecticides, Herbicides, Solvents, and Growth Hormones. Inorganic Chemicals: Hard Water Minerals, Phosphorus, Asbestos, Selenium, Sodium, Fluoride, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Barium, Nitrates, Copper, Lead, Chlorine, Arsenic.Biological Contaminants: Bacteria, Viruses, Cryptosporidium, Chlamydia, Giardia CystsRadioactive: Radium, Strontium 90, Plutonium.
It is incredibly easy to use! Your water distiller produces 4 litres of absolutely pure water in five to six hours. All you do is fill it up, switch it on and let it run.It drips the water into a BPA-free polypropylene container which is designed to fit easily into a fridge and also fits inside the water distiller for easy transportation. It turns itself off automatically - you do not have to worry about it overheating.
