Man, this is one of the best water distiller videos I’ve watched on CZcams so far. Thank you for going to the trouble of dismantling the unit and showing us what’s involved and some of the nuances of this distiller. All of that is very helpful. Great job on the video!
One of the best distiller videos on youtube. Great job. Glad you touched on the inorganic minerals. One of the objections to drinking distilled water by the uninformed is that we need the minerals in the water. They propagate the myth that the distilled water will leach minerals from your bones. Our body needs organic minerals from food. We can't just lick rocks to get our minerals. And like you said it has to get rid of the inorganic minerals somehow. For the skeptics out there ask yourself why Aircraft carriers and USA embassies all around the world use distilled water? And of course in a water disaster like happened in michigan or even if your ground water got contaminated like in the train derailment this year, how are you going to get safe water? This is the most reliable as long as you still have power.
Thanks for making the need of drinking distilled water so useful...
I drink distilled water everyday. I would love to bathe in it everyday. It's a shame that these inorganic minerals are in our running water. It should be against the law. Also we cannot put regular tap water in our cars or what we iron our clothes with, as tap water would corrode them. Why is this ok with being bathed in? It's not ok. Excellent video and thank you for sharing!
Thanks for that good video. I think I have bad and good news. I sitting here drinking San Pellegrini sparkling natural mineral water at 1,000 ppm and never had any problems for years. The well water you have at 200 ppm is unbelievably pure already.
The good news is that, with a little adaption, you have yourself a semi-automatic moonshine still.
How are replacing minerals you need from. Water. There are no minerals in distilled water
@@sheilabrennan5543 My point was that at 200ppm his well water was more than pure enough to drink comparing it with your average store-bought drinking water which ranges from 400ppm to about 1500ppm.
Distilled water is close to but never at 0 minerals due to splash-over.
@@jeffharmed1616 This is a classic argument, some say you gotta have the minerals in the water and others say you get all your minerals from food and don't need minerals in water. Some say the minerals in water eventually cause kidney stones and can calcify arteries in the body, I've used a reverse osmosis system in my house for many years but am tired of buying expensive filters every year so I recently bought a distillery, my tap water is horrible from the county and its extremely hard. You can't get any cleaner water than distilled, if you feel you gotta have the minerals in your water you can buy bottles of minerals to add back to your water after distilling and have the best of both worlds.
I use a distiller to make CPAP water, so I do have a chuckle at people who think that limestone-filtered well water is bad for their health. Calcium, magnesium, and iron are good for the body. I would only go to this much trouble for my well water if I lived in the desert near a mine where the water contained arsenic, lead, mercury, thallium, and so on.
Really a nice distiller, I've only seen the table top units for sale. I'm guessing this unit was over a grand?
$2,000
Worth it if you are using it alot or have a big family.
I've got 2 countertop ones and if I clothier afford to, I'd buy a big one.
Nice! the only difference is that rain water is not pure but also... rain water is magnetized too. Maybe a magnetic stir would help with that
I use citric acid to clean the scale get it at Walmart canning section. Leave it in for few hours and use a silicone bbq brush to scrub the inside. Get it shining shine.
Is the model you have similar? Do you need to remove the inner container to clean it? Seems like a lot of work to do regularly
Where did you get the whole house carbon filter?
thank you for this video,. I have been looking at this unit for awhile and I am glad you did a review. Is it hard to get to the storage tank to clean it as well? thank you
Nice video 👍 Thank YOU SIR!!! 🙂
Where can you buy a system distiller like this? I can only seem to find countertop models.
I see it's in the notes there. However, it looks like the units they currently offer are countertop. Is this a commercial model?
@@chickenmuffin No. This is a household unit.
This meter measures only substances that ionizing water. All other are undetected !
Magnesium and potassium minerals should be added to distilled water.
Sodium is also important, but you get that from the ever-salty food anyway.
I'm not sure about calcium.
Such a great video thank you so much.
But how do you clean out the boiling box?
So you feed the distilled water to your kitchen by piping from somewhere else?
Good Afternoon! I saw your earlier question about which distiller I have at my place. We have a unit made by Aquanui. It's made in the USA, we've had it for a number of years and it works great. You can learn more about it at the link below. I also found a discount code for Aquanui purchases and included it in this article: baileylineroad.com/water-distiller-tour/
As for how I get water to the kitchen, we have two ways. I have a line running from the distiller to the water dispenser on our fridge. I could also have installed a dedicated tap on the counter next to the sink, but I find the fridge water dispenser is fine. Aquanui sells a small pressure-activated electric pump that's mean to mount underneath the reservoir, delivering water upstairs.
I also go down to the basement often enough to get things from the freezer that it's no extra trouble for me to bring down empty one gallon jugs I use for bulk distilled water on the counter. I have four of these jugs that I keep in rotation, so we've got a lot of water fast for the kettle or other purposes. All in all, the Aquanui unit is excellent based on my extensive experience.
I hope this helps. Please let me know.
Bye for now,
Steve
can this distiller be attached to your water source in the kitchen like the icemaker and pot filler?
yes it can. they offer a pump for that
My well water is over 1000 tds. Even with water softener and ro unit I'm getting 300 tds. Would a distiller be a better option?
Hello Josh! Thanks for watching. A distiller will give you 0 total dissolved solids (that's what comes out of my distiller and every other one I've looked at), but there are a couple of things you need to know. First, the harder the water, the more often you'll need to clean the boiling pot and heating element. This involves taking the boiling tank out, pulling out all the mineral deposits you can by hand, then filling the tank with hot vinegar to dissolve the stuck-on minerals. The second drawback with a distiller is that it can only produce small quantities of water. My unit, for instance, produces about 1 quart per hour. There are no residential units that produce more that I'm aware of. For this reason distillers are only practical for drinking water.
Does this help? I hope so. Please let me know.
how much power is being used
Will it work with sea water?
The YT channel @waterdistillers has a portable model that does work for salt water and can be used with wood stoves so in case you don't have electricity, it works! czcams.com/video/eWbWiMBExWo/video.htmlsi=4wF2Yg2pVQi0V9q6
But the most common miss consuption about the distrilled water, it Leach minerals from your body, I am big believer in distrilled water but want answer to educate other people..
Interesting. Why not use a reverse osmosis system?
It takes allot of power, makes water with 250 to 300 ppm of salt if you used it with sea water, any particular smaller than water will pass, doesn’t filter chemicals. And you need too keep changing the filter. Ps i use to operate a reverse osmosis plant on a ship and it was a pain in the ass.
@@ChronoSphinx An RO system does not use salt. The water softener uses the salt and medium to break the mineral bond of the water. I have an Ecowater 3500 I paid $4000 for. Using salt is not a problem. 40 lbs of salt as needed. The softer your water is, the less you will have ro use Lumen, a cleaner and descaler. It is extremely cost effective. I have 40 yrs of experience. I drink distilled water for the taste and of course the safety. Pellegrini is still cleansed from parasites before it is bottled. Take care.
Looked like the element was blown open
I am a huge fan of distillation. This video made me appreciate my Durastill even more. The design of this machine is terrible in comparison. Plastic tubing after the boiling chamber, so much work to clean the boiling chamber, ect. The carbon pre filter is totally pointless. Normally the pre filter is for particulates. The carbon post filter is also unnecessary. I have never used any filters on my machine. It's a money grab. The VOC's escape through a pin hole right before the condenser tube. I won't go into detail on that.
I firmly believe every home should have a distiller, even if it's a cheap one like this. Why we trust our government to clean our family's water is beyond me. Less than $2000 and your family is protected for life.
**edit
I looked this one up and called it cheap. Despite having a terrible design, it actually cost more than the Durastill. I have been distilling water for almost 20 years.
It looks like you have iron in your water too. Thanks!
What I don't understand is why people like Mercola who seems very tustworthy say to never drink distilled water for more than a few weeks as it can be really bad for you, why would he say this? He is obviously a clever guy, but cannot work out why he would have an agenda to say something that wasn't true. Its a genuine question I am open minded and like the concept of distilled water.
There is way more to water than we're led to believe.
Associated are frequencies, minerals, structure and a memory and possibly much much more which Im not going to even attempt to explain but there are many experiments and alternative books on water and its brilliance.
Mercola is on the right track as long term drinking of "dead" or "distilled"water doesnt mimic what we see in nature.
One farmer here in Australia documented how his livestock lived twice as long drinking spring water than the neighboring livestock that drank from farm dams (man made holes dug out to hold water.)
My understanding is that water is energy but as one scientist put it, "brave be a man that try's to explain water" or words to that effect.
@@groovyme1234 Hi Groovyme, Yes its hard to know what to drink TBH. I am in Northwest England and I am not sure where to buy good spring water avoiding the use of plastic bottles. I am still unsure on Distilled as there are so many opinions, looking at these comments though there are people that say they have been drinking just distilled for 30-40 years and have no health problems and one that says here parents are 100 years old and still healthy, so its hard to know what to believe. Yes I know what you mean about frequencies etc, there was a video on CZcams were a guy wrote 'LOVE' on bottles of water and claimed it changed their frequency meaning :) There are so many disinformation people its hard to know what to believe and I am not entiry sure about Mercola, he seems a good guy but some things he does makes me wonder if he is actually genuine.
How are you replacing the minerals your body needs because the distilled water no longer provides. Your well if tested regularly should be pure
During WWIII (coming right up) this worthless because there will be no electricity.
We need organic minerals otherwise our kidneys suffer :) Good video btw and nice distiller!
Sure but did you actually watch the video? He explains that the minerals in the water aren't bioavailable, and also that tap water is accompanied by all kinds of other shit including chlorine, and even drugs (gross).
@@chickenmuffin I get words matter... bio-available/ organic - whatever the body can assimilate.
