Darnell, most of that goop in the bottom is minerals. You can save some money and clean that with plain distilled white vinegar. Just soak it overnight (I don't think heat is necessary, but probbly won't hurt), then scrub gently, dump out and rinse. Give it a try and see if it's worth it. (Might even try with-heat vs without-heat to see what is the difference, if any.) Basically the acid in the cleaner dissolves those minerals, making it easy to remove. Vinegar has acetic acid, which is the acid found in apples (Granny Smith apples are higher in acetic acid than others. Makes sense?), which is why the apple-juice liver cleanse works so well. You could also use mild hydrochloric acid... but plain white vinegar is cheaper than dirt.
I've tried 1 cup white vinegar + hot water to the fill line. Then let it run with the top off to boil for 30 minutes. It works OK for deep cleaning. There was some film on the bottom afterwards, but I was able to wipe it right off easy for the most part. The stuff the OEM includes works a little better, but isn't necessary. The vinegar + water works well enough if someone wants to go that route.
@@WaveOvenRecipes Generally they're providing you with citric acid. If your "cleaner" is white granules then that's it. You can buy the same stuff for less than $20 for five pounds and it's food grade. Thats the stuff on the outside of really sour candy. I have used the citric acid and that's exactly what it is that came with my distiller. It is able to dissolve the deposits because of it's acidity, I'm not sure of the chemical mechanism, which is simple, but that's what you've almost certainly been using. I don't use vinegar because I don't like the smell anyway all that much and boiling it in a big cauldron like that is going to fill the air where you live with the smell of vinegar. The citric acid has no smell. By the way, I can't find the link to buy it through amazon so you get credit. I'm about to buy one of these so I'm puzzled about where your link is.
I use a timer to cut the power off to the machine a few minutes early. This helps in a couple of ways - the machine doesn't need its temp. shutoff, so that doesn't wear out. And, it leaves some water in the vessel, so the impurities aren't baked on.
@@stefanallard3084 I do the same as John. I have the same model as shown in this video. I bought an electronic timer (BN-LINK) and run the distiller for 4 hours between 1 and 5 AM, in the basement. You connect the timer in the outlet, and plug the distiller in the timer (you can plug 2 devices on the model I mention). This 4 hour window leaves a couple cm of water at the bottom of the pot and it doesn't get caked hard. Dissolves with white vinegar... The distiller is already turned on when you plug it in, so the timer basically shuts off electricity all day except 1-5AM :)
Darnell, you have done a great job on your videos regarding this water distiller. You are thorough and your articulation is simple and easy to understand. Thank you, sir!
I just add vinegar and water in my Megahome. I always have one soaking and always one distilling. I have very large breed cats that need to drink a lot of water. They have a large ceramic drinking fountain. I also use distilled water for everything else. Kind of like you mentioned for drinks, and when I am need water for cooking and things too.
Hey Darnell. I just joined the channel. I had to laugh because your TDS was 58 before the distillation. My TDS is over 400 after I spent a lot of money for a whole home water system. I am going to purchase this and I will be happy if I can get my water down to 58 😊
I have several water distillers, and this is one of them. A couple of things to note, I also try to turn my distillers off before they are totally empty since this reduces the build up on the bottom. Also, if you don't have any citric acid, there is a quick way to clean a distiller using vinegar. Fill the boiling pot with vinegar as high as the scale build up, then, with the lid off, plug it in and give it about 10 minutes to heat the vinegar. Now unplug the distiller and let it sit for about 30 minutes. At this point, take a paper towel and soak it in the hot vinegar and wipe the bottom and sides, once that is done, dump out the vinegar and rinse out the pot before distilling the next gallon.
Do you know how much electricity it uses in one setting of 5 hours? I can buy 1 gallon distilled water for $ 1.25 a gallon. It would be good to know for comparison.
@@evelynshaw3932 Hello :) I bought one of these filters and it does make a noticeable difference to your power bill. Imagine using one of your stove elements on low for six hours. I regret getting this distiller. The on/off button has broken after only six months. I'm going to buy a gravity filter.
Gravity filter does not clean water nearly as well. Get a TDS meter, and you will see the difference. I can say, I also felt it, in a bad way. Which is why I stopped using gravity filters. There are many water distiller options. And any of them beats a gravity filter. Yes, pure water has a price. Your health is worth it.
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing🙏🏽🙏🏽 I have 2 questions. I bought the mega home distiller and I absolutely love it. My acupuncturist wants me to only drink warm water. Now here are my 2 questions: 1. Once I have made my distilled water, can I heat it up in the microwave? I enjoy drinking warm water as I always feel cold. 2. My mother asked if she can boiled the distilled water to make her tea? Thank you In advance❤❤
I personally recommend you stop using microwave ovens. czcams.com/video/Y-hW0Z6hPWA/video.html You can use distilled water as you would any water, it's just cleaner.
Stop using a microwave...we got rid of ours a few years ago. Reheating food is much better in a pan/pot...and you can boil (the distilled) water in a kettle, for ex!
I have tried vinegar and I have tried citric acid. And found citric acid works better. But use what you prefer. Some people feel vinegar is all they need, good for them. I stick with citric acid.
I use rainwater from my greenhouse it saves a lot of cleaning you don’t get any deposits at all. Reading on the TDS is zero Rainwater is basically almost 0 as it is distilled water in itself Also boil the rainwater on the gas stove as this saves a lot of electricity and time The water is absolutely excellent I do this every three days.
Depends where someone lives. Chemtrails are real. Myself and others I know have rain water that does not test well. The method to heat things is also dependent on location. For some of us, natural gas is 💰💰💰.
I am on my 6th Megahome Water Distiller. They claim to be Stainless Steel, but the Stainless Steel must be very thin, because it does not hold up, for me, any longer than about 8 mos, before the bottom of the tank becomes very tarnished, using it for one gallon a day. The inside of the top of the distiller has formed rust spots. We have very hard water here in Tempe, AZ, so I do NOT use Tap Water in it. I walk to the store and buy 6 one gallon bottles of "drinking water" at a time, $1.39 each and walk home, and distill one at a time. There is always sediment in the bottom after each gallon of so-called store bought "drinking water." Don't drink it!! My point is, I have been babying this current Megahome Distiller, since I have already gone through 5 of them, but, it is still tarnished and there are rust spots. I have only had this one about 16 to 18 months, one gallon a day. I have been thinking about getting another distiller, as I don't like the idea of drinking water from tarnished or rusted components, since I cannot see what is going on inside the tubes of the housing in the top compartment. I change the post charcoal filter often and clean the crap from the bottom of the tank when I can feel the sediment with my finger, but I just don't like the idea of rusted metal in the water. Hopefully the charcoal filter in the spout removes the unseen heavy metal nano-particulates, but how would I know. At this point, I only know what I can see. I have stainless steel cookware that is not rusted or tarnish on the bottom, so why can't they make the stainless steel of better quality in these distillers?
I have had mine for over 6 months now. Zero issues. And used literally twice yesterday. Still using it daily, sometimes 3x in a day When I am using a lot for cooking and other needs. Starting a gallon on timer to be ready in the AM and others during the day.
You misunderstand, the monthly cleaning is the deep cleaning you saw me describe in the initial review. General cleaning after each use is a given. You came to part 2 first 🙂 If you don't have one yet, it will make sense for you in time after you have one.
I read a lot of reviews. One guy had the best idea he’s been doing it for years. He put in a quarter of citric acid before he turns the machine on with each use and his machine is like brand new all he has to do is wipe it out.
After monthly cleaning, mine looks pretty nice too. And that only involves using citric acid once a month. I use mine 1-2 times a day. So, if I used citric acid daily, that would be wasteful. Also, I don't think they recommend using citric acid in water you distill for drinking. I would not recommend that.
@@-_----- I wouldn't trust that no acid whatsover goes into the distilled water...dummy! But hey, use acid if you like it! I use vinegar, it's safe and effective!
All distillers have some noise. The good thing about this one, is that although it has a sound. It is consistent. Some others have sound that changes in parts of their processing. I don't think there is one without sound. I personally got used to it. But, as showed you can have a timer to run it at times best for you. But, like basket air fryers, noise comes with a water distiller.
wait so the first time it came up 0058 that was when u put tap water in the distiller, after when it showed 0000 was that when u re distilled the water again?
I don't buy it, so no. I have made so much over time, it saves mich money to make my own. Not to mention, availability of stuff in stores is suspect. Also, there's an issue of microplastics with anything from stores. 2 or 3 gallons a day x 365 = 730 to 1095 gallons in a year. The unit easily pays for itself, and brings savings in the first year. Since the electric cost is not much.
Not much, but you do as you find best for your needs. For me, the health benefits have been more than worth any expense. I am at a point of savings,. And micro plastics cost way more, in health deficits. But this does not seem to be for you. I am sure there are some plastic bottled water videos you can enjoy. Have a nice day.
Question when I go look to buy one they don’t have the glass insert for the carbon filter anymore. It looks plastic is there an option to buy a glass insert for the charcoal filter
Thank you for your review. Have you been able to learn why a some seemingly very similar distillers (Vevo, CoZ) are only about $100? What am I missing?
As I said, you want no aluminum touching your water. You need to research carefully. Study water for a while, to be well versed on the topic. Before buying. Then you will know what is better and why. This is worth learning, not rushing.
I bought this distiller, but I got it from their website. It worked well for about 6 months and then it quit. It would not turn on any longer. I contacted customer support and we had several emails back and forth, but in the end, they blew me off. So I have a $289. 00 distiller that does not work and they obviously don't want to make it right. I had been using waterwise distiller for 3 years with no problems and it's still going strong, but not megahome. Another problem, beside the fact that it won't run is the quality of the stainless steel in the chamber. It has corroded. Not my waterwise distiller. The stainless steel is great. I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews. I want people to know how bad their customer service is and think twice before purchasing from them. They don't allow reviews on their website, and I understand why, so I posted on here for those interested in a distiller to be careful with megahome.
I have had mine for 18 months now. Using it literally 2 or 3 times a day. Often that includes overnight. Never a problem, zero hull corrosion. If they are not providing good customer service. Try sending a note to the attorney general of their state in incorporation. Enough of you doing that, may get more action than online comments. I am totally good with people sharing, but I am just feeling it is time to press bad customer service issues further. Also, Megahome makes various models. I would like to know your exact model number? Since some are of lesser quality than others.

@@WaveOvenRecipes I purchased the deluxe model with 316SS, Megahome MH943SBS Water Distiller. The SS in the chamber should not have corroded, but it did.

Random but have you ever made a chuck roast in the air fryer?? Lol
Not sure why it changed my name on here..
@@sarahmiller4824 have you recently lost a phone or had it stolen? You might want to change your password.
@@OhPervyOne no I haven't. I think it was when I changed my name on my Google app come to think of it.
Never did that one.
@@WaveOvenRecipes I'm gonna experiment lol. Have a blessed week my friend! 💜
Isn’t the condenser coil made of aluminum?
The water never touches it.
I use this distiller and the water aftertaste is not good. It’s a new unit
I think I gave advice for that directly from the manual in the initial review:

@WaveOvenRecipes okay thanks!
Use distilled vinegar to clean the interior of the unit. This will also save you a buck or two. 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
Do you add minerals back into your drinking water? If I'm not mistaken, people shouldn't drink distilled water as it is missing those needed minerals.
I did speak about that in the video.
Dead water is better than poison water. Nothing from a tap is better than distilled, even minus minerals.
Hamiliyan salt, pill minerals and other ways to get your minerals exist
Hi megahome sell a bottle of minerals to put in the jug before you distill
There is a lot of hype made about minerals. Get your minerals from good natural food, and you will be fine.
@@WaveOvenRecipes I don't use the bottle of minerals I get my minerals from food a Dr said you would have to drink about a swimming pool amount to get the minerals needed he said carry on
Whats the PH level ????
Distilled water is neutral, so it is always 7.
That fruit of life symbol is demonic.
Please explain
And where are you seeing that in this video?
Is he talking about tho distiller company logo ?
I doubt it, the so-called *fruit of life* symbol is a six pointed symbol of VERY ungodly origins.
