I noticed that it appears in at least one place you use rubber for a seal. In other places, you appear to use silicone for gaskets and tubing. I have read quite a few reviews complaining about a "rubber hose" taste in the distilled water. Perhaps using only silicone material for all gaskets would eliminate this problem. I will continue to watch this item to see if changes were made to address this issue. As an example, my Instapot uses silicone for a pressure seal in the lid. This holds up to 15psi over ambient pressure without fail and no added foreign taste.
Thats a great point! Silicone is a safe, non toxic option for seals and things like that. I love that idea. I am absolutely in love in love with this distiller (havent bought it yet but it looks amazing). But you're right I think about the silicone!
