Nice I've been distilling my water for around 10 years now I don't even bother adding the trace minerals I figure we should be getting those though diet from plants as there's a difference between organic and inorganic minerals the plants make them bioavailable for us it's like thinking you can suck on a rusty nail and get your iron they aren't bioavailable
Isn't it true that distilled water actually pulls minerals from your body? I remember I tried drinking distilled water for a few months, and I noticed I was getting heart palpitations. Seemed like some sort of electrolyte deficiency
@@LukeSly91 pure water cleans the body of all the garbage that would otherwise cause all kinds of disease. We need organic minerals from plants.
@@LukeSly91It does leach minerals, but only inorganic minerals that the body can’t use or assimilate. It’s impossible for distilled (pure) water to leach organic minerals due to the magnetic charge. It’s an on purpose half truth
Which brand of distiller do you use?
I use H2O labs they have lots to choose from
I'm also a big fan of distilled water, I have 5 different models of water distillers, including this one. I'll tell you another great way to clean distillers using vinegar. Fill the boiling pot with vinegar, enough to cover the bottom or however high the scale build up is. Now, with the top off, plug in the distiller so it heats the vinegar, you don't need to bring it to a boil but allow the vinegar to heat to the point where the vinegar is too hot to touch, similar to the temperature of hot water from the faucet. Now cover the distiller and let it sit for about 30 minutes. At this point, use a paper towel if necessary to remove any remaining mineral build up. When you heat the vinegar it speeds up the chemical reaction and will allow the vinegar to remove the build up much faster.
This is a GREAT machine at its price point. I bought this same model about 10yrs ago and have had ZERO problems. I typically unplug it so the temp switch doesn't trip when it has about 2 cups left in the chamber so all the water doesn't evaporate which prevents calcium and heavy deposit build up which makes for pretty much zero cleanup other than a quick rinse.
That's a great tip. Thanks.
This is smart. I'm gonna buy 1 and put a shut off timer on it.
Are distilling the water with vinegar in it????
@@cece3194 no vinegar just water
How do you know when there is only two cups left in it ? Is it rough guess work ?
We’ve had ours for about three years now and run it three times a day. We store the water in half gallon mason jars in the refrigerator. We do get a build up on the coils in the head because the fan pulls dust particles to it. My husband takes the head apart and blows the coils with a compressor. Thanks for the info on the trace mineral drops.
No problem! My coils and fan are dusty on the outside as well. So far there hasn't been any issues other than appearance if you look closely. I may decide to give it a cleaning now that you mention it. Cheers!
U can get more than 3 gallons a day.
@@plantabundanceHow do you clean the inside of the coil heads so I’m not drinking residual factory rust?
how do i remove th filter from the spout
@@nathanmoore7115you can take it apart! There’s only 3 screws- pull the fan off and the coils off and clean :)
We have used a water distiller for over 20 years,stainless one, always use trace mineral drops too. We have watched all the other purifiers that come on the market, including Berkey’s which it seems everyone was using. Now a number of smart folks we know are going right back to their home distillers. We agree with you - glad this company is a good one like the one we use! Honesty and customer service and USA made with a company that has been around for a long time means so much!! PS. I criticize nobody who chooses a Berkey. I have many friends who absolutely love theirs and I know they do a good job. ❤️
What is the difference between a distiller and a Berkey? Thanks!
YOu dont need to add minerals. You get minerals from food. You want pure h2o as water. Been on distilled since 2011 and all I do is filter it before it heads to the distiller to get any VOC's out. Healthier than ever
I found this video after listening to Modern Wisdom, subject plastic phthalates. Really happy about the glass insert for the out pour. Will get one. Very nice video, no BS, no hype, just straightforward information. Thank you.
Perfect timing! I have been trying to figure out if I should get a Berkey, now I can distill my water instead. 🥰
ThankYou ❤
My understanding, one doesn't need to add minerals 🙏👏👏👏🤷♀️
That's right
Yes you need to add minerals
Do you need to add minerals back in
@@garytallent3145 I drink only distilled water. I sometimes add minerals, especially to my water bottle that I use as I exercise. I do a mixture of salt, magnesium and potassium. But adding a few grains of a good salt, like Redmond real salt, to your glass would do the trick.
Some of the most common trace contaminants and chemicals in tap water include PCBs, pharmaceuticals, lead, aluminum, bromate, rust, fluoride, chlorine, chloramines, and many many more. This water distiller get's rid of them all! : amzn.to/3woRn6T (Makes A Great Gift!)
I bought this distiller after watching your video about it awhile back. And the clean with the citric acid was a godsend - I'm sometimes use ascorbic acid as well. Love that I can also find the charcoal filters to reorder here in Canada. I appreciate this detailed video and your kind willingness to share such great products with us, Dan. Cheers. #trustandthrive
Thank you kindly! I'm glad it's working out for you.
I just placed an order. Thank you for your video .
Regular white vinegar works. I use it all the time. Just pour enough to cover the gunk at the bottom and let it shit for an hour or two.
Well put together video you detailed very well. I will see if I can purchase in the UK.
We just invested in a distiller! I found your video through searching for water distillation. I am very pleased to hear you have had this machine for many years with little wear and tear. Helps me to know we made a good choice and will get a lot of use out of it. 🤩 Take care snd thanks for sharing this video. 💋
This is a very good review.
I have ordered a water distiller for my humidifiers mostly. And mainly because I'm tired of buying it.
Seven years is certainly a testament to the longevity of a distiller. Thanks!!!
I collect and save 2,300 gallons of rain water for use on my ranch. I use a "first-flush" system to sequester particulate matter. I add a pinch of Redmond Real Salt to each batch of distilled rain water, to refortify minerals and there is little to no boiler residue. My electric plan has free electricity at night. I use a cheap knock-off distiller ($70) and replace it when it quits (hasn't yet) so my distilled water is virtually free.
Had the same distiller for a long time! It’s a champ!
Does your water come out cool like mine does? My old one came out hot.
My water distiller got a huge buildup of minerals and I didn’t clean it out well enough so it bore a hole in the container over time!
I am going to be diligent cleaning my new container now! Great tips.
Excellent review! I was wondering about the cost per gallon, but you nailed it!! I bought one right after I watched your video. I haven’t been able to find distilled water in any of the stores here in AZ for the past 2 months! I was in New Mexico for work a month ago, and no distilled water there either. Looking forward to watching your other videos on planting, greenhouses, etc. Thanks again and God Bless you and your family.
I'm mostly bummed out about all the plastic jugs I go through buying distilled water from the grocery store. Great info, thank you!
Much easier to not allow scale to form on the bottom. Stop distilling when 3/4 of water distilled, leaving a cup or 2 on the bottom.
I like how you measured the total energy consumption.
A really good product excellently presented. All the best to you and your family.
Even with the already bountiful pros, even in the DIY automotive people, who need to flush their coolant or use the concentrate, this saves so much money!
I've started using a timer plug set at 5 hours (from cold water), this leaves about an inch of water at the bottom and prevents the calcium/ dirt from baking on. Also, it prevents any aftertaste that may occur if the distiller is left to run its full cycle. Lastly, it prevents wear on the thermostat.
Thanks Buddy. Very timely for me, also.
We have been using our MH for over 1 year and it works GREAT!
But kinda small for a family of 6.
It uses a standard power connector so it should be easy to get a replacement cord, like at a computer shop. Just get the same or heavier wire gauge.
Thank you for your review! I found it very useful! I am looking to buy a distiller and this seems like a good choice.
An average 500ml bottle of water is £1 / £1.50 in the UK. So that is a huge saving 🤔
You can buy a 2-litre bottle for 35p from a large supermarket. Is the water distilled? Probably not, but neither is the water in your 500-ml bottle.
@@chesshooligan1282 2 litre Spring water in PTE for 35p used to be 17p a few month back from Aldi. Joke the price of it now 35p, doubled almost overnight. Maybe not as cheap to distill right now but no plastic leeching into it and it's much purer to distill then add minerals.
Thank you for sharing.
Be well and be safe.
Peace
Thanks, you too!
Good video. I have this unit but a different brand name.
Thank you! Have a great weekend!
1 put water already filtered in.
2 used to buy distlled water plastic bottles. Easier, but prefer less plastic contaminants.
Bought the one w the glass jug.
Understand cost is close, electricity plus amortised cost of the distiller.
thank you so very much dear Sir, i'm very grateful never knew this information...with the way the world is today too...thank you for the trace mineral product too. VERY grateful God bless you.
Thanks for calculating the numbers and dollar values.
$0.35 for a gallon? That makes it about equivalent for me to buy RO water from a vending machine, although having a distiller at home is more convenient and gives the feeling that the water I get is no additional cost since I wouldn't normally think of the electricity involved to run it.
Or I guess another way to look at this, distilled water and RO water are still different, so this is a good option for distilled water. But if someone needs purified water and doesn't care which way to get it, then RO water vending machines could still be viable.
Btw, don't put too much faith in the auto shutoff. When I first bought mine people were reporting that some units were still heating long after all the water was gone, burning the bottom. Just about every phone has a timer app; set it for about 4-1/2 hours.
My only 'complaint' about this unit is the lid on the glass container. I would like to see a lid that seals the container after filling so you can just stick it in the fridge without absorbing any odors (it will). I have to pour it into another container that seals for storage. I suppose their marketing dept. thinks everyone will do this anyway, so people can start making another batch of water right away, (but you can't because you need to let the unit cool down.)
Mine take 6 hours to finish.
Thanks for the advice. I wonder if that's what the stuff on the bottom of the distiller after using it is. I already use filtered tap water. "burned" water
I have the bigger one and never looked back and apart from the money man the bottles of water not going in the landfill is a good thing to and I never let it run dry as well you don’t get all the gunk in the bottom that way. I just found out mine is the salt water one
Nice! I’m going to get one of those. It’s next on the list.
They need a model that mates with a dehumidifier for long run times, and potentially an awesome heater
Thank you so much for this video it was tremendously helpful and I am excited to get mine and put it to use!
Yes, my unit provides I with great water too!
Awesome review, thank you!
Excellent video, thank you so much.
I've had this same machine for about 4 or 5 years. I LOVE it! Mind didn't come with a glass piece for the carbon filter. My gasket makes it a bit challenging to take the top off. I didn't realize that you can order replacement parts! So thank you! Also, I always wonder about how much it costs to make a gallon of distilled water; you answered that question! Thanks so much. I highly recommend this machine!
Where did you order the replacement gasket? Likely directly from the manufacturer. I'll check.
Mine didn’t come
with the glass piece either.
Can you order the glass piece?
I found the glass piece. It’s actually ceramic.
I found the ceramic part inside.
Excellent video and super informative. Thanks!
Love the video man. Happy new healty year whit a new unit 💪🏼
I'm sure I'll get tired of buying distilled water for my humidifiers. May have to get one of those water distillers. It takes time but I'll do it.
You really cannot take away the fact that you’re not drinking that sludge that stays at the bottom. Healthy healthy, healthy water is distilled.
Thank you!
Dear, I love the idea and the gadget you have presented & it's going to be a very good source of good quality pure/germs, bacteria and parasites free water. However when the costs are to be accurately considered are cleaning chemicals, trace metals drops and charcoal bags, replacement parts etc costs all need to be added on average monthly or annually basis! Would highly appreciate if you can help everyone with this approximate cost as per your grand experience in this area! Thanks again.
Thank you
Thanks my Dude. Im gonna get this one.
I’d like to have one. Not for drinking water necessarily but I use an iron and a steamer at home quite frequently. The minerals in tap water will destroy those after awhile.
I just learned that the hard way. I received a steamer for Christmas and I just went to use it and the plastic literally fell apart in my hands.
Important tip: Use only distilled water in appliances such as steamers, irons, humidifiers. ‼️
WIll destroy your body too. Inorganic minerals are in water which is dirt. Organic minerals are from foods
Great review! Life saver
Sour salt should work to clean it, too. Salt & lemon juice.
Thanks! This was helpful!
hi...using hot water add more impurity to the water so only use cold water...better water in gets better water out!....I only distill filtered water for a more quality water!
Can you store your distilled water in an empty gallon jug that was purchased with distilled water already in it?
I didn't know there was such a thing. I wonder how much power it consumes if used with solar power. and the added benefit of heating the inside.
It runs at between 500 and 580 watts. Solar power or a generator will keep you brewing during a power outage. Cheers!
Shane C., exactly the same amount of power. The heating element does not know if the electricity is solar or e.g. nuclear generated.
It is recommended to add the minerals back to the water, otherwise it leaches them from your body. Same with reverse Osmosis water.
@@natalietom2299 not it doesn't, your body just needs trace elements. Those of us who live off pure rainwater look to get them from food anyway.
@@natalietom2299 I think this is nonsense. I haven't been able to find any empirical evidence or research papers to back up this claim.
I am in madison wisconsin. The tap water killed our machine. Vinager idea makes sense. Thankyou😅
Some models will do alcohol too!!!..Just tweak the distillation temperature!!
Thank you for the video
Thank you. Very timely and appreciated as the water coming out of the tap is disgusting.
Great review!
Cool, thanks
Great review. Thanks!
if you put wine in it will it put out purified
I read stainless was contraindicated for distilled water? How about you??
I’m grateful for our (still) excellent water quality in GER, but we have extremely high energy costs. Destilling one gallon with this device would cost me approx. 1.25 $. On the other hand, I need just 1.3 gallons of demineralized water per year for ironing, which costs me about $ 4.50.
Good point. It's expensive in Australia though, and those of us who want it for radiators as well as for CPAP or pressurized air machines for sleeping or for humidifiers, appreciate the cost saving if electricity is cheap through solar.
This was an AWESOME video. Does your water come out cool like mine does? My last Megahome that stopped working, produced hot water. Thanks for your time. ❤
FYI, they say to plug into the unit, then plug into wall, if that matters.
Can you comment on the power usage of this model? Looks like it's rate just over 500 watts, and takes almost 6 hours to produce one gallon? Does that mean it consumes 3,000 Watts to produce one gallon of water?
thanks, is it safe to use without the charcoal packet? I don't like it, and it adds black spots to my water.
Thanks!
You bet!
What about reverse osmosis like bottled water services
Will using a coffee maker work just using just water no coffee ?
Likely not. A coffee maker doesn't steam water, it boils it and forces that water onto the coffee grounds along with everything dissolved in the water. You get the same result by boiling a kettle as using a coffee maker
Where i live we have very soft water. There is not a lot of minerals in it
Great content!! 😁Please can you let me know do you store the distilled water in the fridge straightaway? Thanks. Much appreciated!
I have had a R/O unit every place I've lived for years, would this still be necessary? Does it remove fluoride?
Is it even better at purifying and removing toxins than reverse omosis?
Switch to sea salt. Has all complete minerals.
Use a pm detector to see how clean the water is
Would this help with hard water?
For rving how many watts does it draw?
I live in FL. Our tap water is bad and often times smells even when we turn the faucet in. In that case, can we use the water straight from our tap? Or would we need to buy water and distill that?
Do you use citric acid to clean it?
Are carbon pods optional? I am tired of these companies trying to milk you for years. Distillation is good enough.
Exact same product as H2O labs model 300 SS, same price $279..
Do you know what size portable battery charger I would need to run this distiller for off grid use ??
Does anyone have experience distilling well water? I currently use an RO system, but have iron bacteria, which leaves sludge. Wondering if I can distill the RO water? I current buy distilled water and add a pinch of Redmonds Himalayan salt and a pinch of aluminum free baking soda for electrolytes and feel great!
Hi there are diffrent kinds of baking soda ?
You can distill the RO water yea. WOuld work good.
I currently have a reverse osmosis filter but had no idea that 3 gallons of water go down the sink for every gallon for drinking
How many watts does it use?
I bought one of these and the water smelled and tasted like chlorine after distilling. I'm returning it and bought a 3 filter undersink water filtration system for half the price.
is using this an effective method of desalinating water?
and would putting seawater into the machine damage it?
I have a Berkey already so would it be helpful to run it to the Berkey carbon filters first and then it would reduce the impact on the distiller?
No. I would just save the filter as a back-up source.
It would probably make the distiller easier to clean or you would have to clean it less often because you are reducing the buildup
Can you distille sea water (salt water) with this machine? Just curious
Is there any benefit to distilling the same water twice ?
Thanks, Dan. Very helpful❤️
Fan is noisy, so my friend recommends running it on a timer at midnight. Or does anyone run it outside on a covered patio?
What do you think about this vs the Berkey for purified water?
Garbage. I had one. Distiller all the way. Now if electric was off then the Berkely is cool
Will this make rainwater safe to drink?
I have a video talking about this. Just do a quick search.
I wish I didn’t throw the broken base away. Maybe it was repairable. It was stainless too.
If I live by a lake can I use lake water? Or beach water?
