- Sometimes the top of a Megahome water distiller can get junked up with dust, here's how to clean it and improve the function of your distiller.
If your distiller top is looking a bit dusty try hoovering it out from the outside. If your distiller top is still dusty after hoovering follow these steps.
Step 1: Take off the distiller head outer casting. To do that, turn the top over and remove filter housing.
Step 2: Grab a Phillips screwdriver and remove three screws located by the seal.
Step 3: Once the screws are undone, turn the distiller head over and the head will come off.
Step 4: Now that you have full access to the distiller's head, hoover it.
Step 5: If you can still see dust under the fan blade you need to remove the blade (ask for someone to help you). This will give you access to the whole area beneath the fan blades.
Step 6: Hoover it again.
Step 7: Take the cooling ring off by gently pushing it off the base with your thumb and hover the area. You can run the cooling ring under the water, but keep the rest of the electrical components in the distiller's head absolutely dry. Ensure the cooling ring is completely dry before you attach it back to the distiller's head.
Step 8: Reassemble the head by putting the cooling ring back on first, then the fan blade and lastly the top.
Step 9: Put the screws back in.

I love products that not only make content like this, but design their product to be cleaned/repaired. Makes me super loyal!
Gotta love how solid the Megahome distillers are built. Excellent engineering and craftsmanship. Got two of them myself. They dont even require a f***ing APP and WiFi connectivity to run. 10/10
Thank you. I’ve been using Megahome product for three years and I’m grateful for your water distiller that gives me clean water. And when I contacted customer service via email, you responded within 24 hours. 🙏 Thank you for teaching me how to clean my water distiller.
Can't even express how much I appreciate this video, thank you so much! I also sometimes remove the rubber ring to clean underneath it as well, I hope that's ok, hasn't seemed to cause any trouble. I just examine closely first to make sure I get it back on the same way. I love my distiller!
Mine started making a screeching noise when I switched it on, which initially subsided, but then screeched for longer and longer. I assumed the fan spindle might need lubricating so I removed the case, cleaned up the dust, incl. around the fan spindle and sprayed a little WD40 into the tiny gap around the fan spindle, both above and below, which worked like a dream.
ty....my h20 labs distiller just started making noise and sure it is the fan. Yes, screeching noise describes perfectly as was tying to think of a word to describe issue.
Thanx!! :) this is helpful for cleaning .... but also i plan to attach a copper tube to the end of the coil to run out to avoid the water touching the plastic.
Now to investigate the inside, it looks like stainless steel tubing surrounded by heatsink fins for cooling.
Thanks for sharing on how to clean the distiller head. mine needed done badly but didn't know how to do it.
I took my lid apart and cleaned it earlier today. I wish I had watched this first! LOL. I did manage to clean everything really well but I could have saved myself a lot of trouble. Oh well. At least I know for next time. Thanks for the video!
Air compression with a blower tip too. GREAT video. Thank you.
Thank you for this easy to follow video. My distiller's lid is like new again!
such a cool guy and i love his kitchen area. i have city water and my distiller already has serious corrosion after a few weeks. this video was easy to watch and better than just reading the manual. thanks, i am off to clean mine!
Very nice job showing how to clean the top section. Excellent video!
100% Agree with Sojourner. Thank you so much!!!
2 words: compressed air
Can you descale the top?
Thank u!Do others video please. U are very good
My ring is all clogged with greasy dust. Sticky.. Oh Oh! Thank you. I will tackle the job tomorrow.
Might want to see the doctor for that!
Thank you! Love my distiller!
Best wear a visor when hoovering inside the top part of the distiller because I got a sty on the edge of my eye lid when I cleaned it. So I always wear a visor since that happened.
This was so helpful, thank you.
well done
Well, I think the tubes cleaning for girl like me without a screw it's a disaster. After one week of using the same distiller, water became like sewage smell after being distilled! What recommendations on cleaning the tubes in this case you can give me, I don't think 10 days usage made much dust inside
Not too confident about getting this back together 🤔
why not use compressed air? its what we use to clean out our PCs it does a much better job and its perfectly safe.
the hover will only suck up the primary layer and you need to go deeper its the stuff thats stuck on there that reduces the efficiency not the lose fluff.
exellent video by the way we need more stuff like this.
Phil you are a saint! My distiller head is disgusting and it's been driving me crazy wishing I could take the thing apart to clean it 🙏 I will definitely find a way to mess this up though so will get my dad to help
Hi you can see the dust in your top? Ours looks clean I don’t see anything? I am pretty sure no one cleaned it yet? The inside is the hard part. I scrub it and use vinegar to soak n scrub and it really doesn’t take much off? We have well water. But the clean water is clear and we love it. Definitely would recommend anyone to buy this machine 👍💕
@@bettymacallister3475 I put about 2-4 tablespoons of vinegar in the pot, then tilt and rotate it sideways to get it spread all over. Then let it sit about 15-20 minutes and come back with a scrubber sponge. There's a bit of discoloration, but otherwise that softens up the deposits and I get it pretty clean. I clean it about every 3-4 uses, though I know many people who wait much much longer than that to clean it haha.
Excellent video. i need to clean my distiller. Get it used again. But i need new glass jug. When will this be back in stock?
Amazon do generic glass jugs and they pour much easier
Back in stock now if you still need one.
Great stuff. Thanks 👍🏽
Good video
How to cleanthis
But I would rather use an air compressor
Or an 200ml? air duster spray
I think the vacuum cleaner is a bit of a risk
reason the cooling fins on the tube bend at the lightest impact
and the result is faster with air
but this is about how to clean it. further for everyone own choice my choice how I do it
Unbelievable, that a company Megahome whose products are so expensive, does not respond to requests from people who want to purchase directly from it its most expensive water purifier. I'm just thinking about what happens to those who have already bought from Megahome a distiller, and they need the company's service: do they answer inquiries? I'm in Doubt.
Thanks man.
Had my one for about 3 years yesterday it only made half of the water Lantern itself off when I put that back on it was making a funny noise do you think it is alright or should I contact the manufacturer I am registered blind so would not be able to do the full clean do you think just a hoover at the top might do the trick
The instructions are written for someone familiar with the ins and outs of the unit - not for the first time user. More details are needed - just a little more consideration as to the purpose of these steps, for example. Also - conflicting instructions in the manual and cleaner label. But able to put everything together with this video as well.
Is it okay to run that under some flowing water instead of having to take all those components apart?
No
Thanks so much for these very helpful videos (I subscribed!). In 2016 we bought a “Tinton” Water Distiller on amazon. When I linked from our purchase on amazon, it doesn’t appear that company exists anymore, but the unit looks almost exactly like yours. The silicone doesn’t appear to need replacing. Are the replacements on amazon ok? We haven’t used it much in the past couple of years, but now I’ve bought a steam cleaner and will use distilled water in it. The filter holder looks a bit different on yours, but thanks to your video, I figured out how to remove it and behold, there was an OLDE carbon filter in there (YUK). I could probably use our new steam cleaner on the fins of the fan unit although our fan unit doesn’t look dirty/dusty at all (yet). We don’t use the water for drinking anyway as we have an RO system. Would it be worthwhile (less sediment?) to use RO water instead of our Kinetico softened tap water for distilling? RO TDS are much lower. We use sodium chloride in our Kinetico in lieu of potassium chloride. Thanks for helping! We’re in mountainous central WA state forestland on a well water system. I do have the capability of fetching water that hasn’t run through the Kinetico if that, too, would make a difference? Sorry for blasting with so many questions! Happy Thursday!
How do you clean the inside of the coil? My unit appears to have metal inside the coil most likely from the manufacturing process. Thanks!
To clean the coils hold under a running tap or over a bowl of soapy water and use a sponge or brush. Don’t immerse in the water. Then rinse and dry.
SO, I came home to find the whole room and windows all steamed up and wet and the machine had stopped running after a short amount of time according to the small amount of water distilled. Is this due to the dust or what exactly please and why does the water come out hot? I haven't used it since 😞as need help asap. It's only 5 1/2 years old!
I take mine totally apart soak and wash it in the sink to get the grease off, let it dry completely and put it back together.
The fan doesn’t seem to want to come off my one! Will applying a bit of oil help? Mine seems to have some white mold inside and I want to take off the tubing and soak it in vinegar.
My Mophorn Pure Water Distiller 750W, Purifier Filter Fully Upgraded with Handle 1.1 Gal /4L, stopped working while plugged in. The unit had tripped the electrical outlet it was plugged into and two other electrical outlets. After watching your video, Teardown: Ebay 1-Gallon Water distiller. What's inside and how it works? , I want to replace the heat sensor. Do you agree? How do I find the part number for the heat sensor?
Even simpler use an air hose or compressed air?
Can a dirty top stop running prematurely before completing the full cycle?
How can I test and identify if I'll get a Megahome water distiller unit built-in 316 stainless steel, instead of 304 ss? Is there a printed mark in stainless steel or should I trust you? Thanks
Should there be a tiny pinhole in the upper part of the coil?
I have one on mine, on the pipe part.
did you find out if thats part of it?
@@VicsGarage71 Yes indeed it is supposed to be there.
I have a strange moldy/plastic taste in my distiller. Any way to clean the inner components without disassembling the whole unit?
My water comes out very warm is this correct?
Hi guys, is there any way to replace the fan with a less noisy one? Should be doable.. It is quite noisy. Otherwise excellent product.
Hi Victor. We will pass your feedback to the manufacturer and see what they can do.
@@MegahomeWaterDistillers Thank you! I would love for it to get less noisy! Otherwise I might be looking at a more quiet machine from a different producer. I have recommended your machine to most of my friends, and the common feedback is the loudness.
Same here...otherwise I love it.
What about the inside of this pipe where water goes? Can it be cleaned out also? Posibility of mold.?
It’s not possible to clean inside the condensing tube. Only steam goes in there so it shouldn’t get contaminated. You can try to run a distillation with a couple of tablespoons of cleaning crystals in the water. Don’t drink the distilled water. You will be left with an oily residue which you can rinse out.
@@MegahomeWaterDistillers my condenser pipe needs cleaning too just after 5 uses. I can see it coated with hard-water build up. Thanks, I’ll try the cleaning crystals and then rinse out any residue remaining.
As for mold: steam goes in there, but when the cycle is over, there’s lingering condensation in the tube. The air is not sterile, so that can and will lead to microbial build up. Cleaning of the metal condenser tube should be part of the manual
@@MegahomeWaterDistillersThank you! Is it possible to run hydrogen peroxide through it using a pipette or a syringe? My distilled water developed a pond odor and I clearly have some biology harboring inside of the condensation line, the end of which actually never gets sanitized with the steam because it gets somewhat lower than water boiling temperature I would imagine 🤔
Use the exhaust from the vacuum and just blow the dust away outside.
Got a good compressor?
If you were to distill a gallon a day, proximately how many times a year would you recommend doing this ?
When you start seeing a buildup of dust collection, so it could be once a year or even longer like I did.
The motor died on mind! Do you know where I buy replacement motor fan?
How long you used the destiller?
is the device worth it? I'm scared now
What if you dont have a vacuum like that?
❤
Why is it so dusty? Has it been running for years?
3:56 🤣
i took mine apart to clean it and now the fan doesn't spin. any ideas?
