Countertop Water Distiller Stainless, Glass Collection

LOVE, LOVE, LOVVVE this thing ! It’s incredible how dirty this gets after the distillation is finished. I NEVER want to drink tap water EVER AGAIN ! Highly recommend to all that care about what goes into your body.

This product is absolutely amazing !! It’s a expensive one but totally worth it, the water tastes so fresh it’s crazy ! I 100% recommend this and you can see what comes out of tapWater !

The photo shows the pollutants left after one distillation of my “high salt” water. Family members have already noticed a drop in their baseline blood pressures and may soon be able to stop their blood pressure medication.The residual toxin is easy to wipe out after each use. I run this distiller 2 times a day. The distillation takes about 5 hours each time. The machine automatically shuts off after the cycle is complete. Each full distillation yields 24 cups. What I don’t like is, the precise placement required for the distiller spout to be over the receiving pot. A flexible hose is required to avoid water dripping onto countertop and floor all night - manufacturerer please make this simple adaptation.

Exactly as described!

Fast shipping. Quality product. Australian cords and plugs. One thing I noticed was Mega home is called spring flow in Australia. I thought they looked identical and I was correct, they are the same brand. Made in Taiwan.

We all need water. Water is expensive, and I don't care where you live, faucet water is undrinkable. Everyone should have one of these in their kitchen, parents should be giving them to their kids when they move out...it's that important and makes that much of a life difference. It's pricey, but it works really well and is well constructed. At its core, this is nothing more than an electric kettle with a distilling pipe in the lid. The fan accelerates the process by cooling off the pipes so the condensation runs down the pipe, and voila, pure water! The fan isn't quiet, but it's not unpleasant either. Perfectly acceptable noise level, no buzzing or droning sound. Its simple construction is probably why it will likely last a long time. No snazzy electronics to break or fail, it's basically an analog appliance that is either on or off based on if it's plugged in or not, with a temperature based circuit breaker and a reset switch. As others have said, it's best to not let it turn off on its own since it will bake all the residue on to the bottom. It's better to leave about an inch of water, so that most of that residue is still floating in the water. It means less cleaning down the road, and longer time between cleaning. I clean it about once every 10 gallons of water, but you could probably stretch it more depending on how dirty your water is.It's simple to clean, you just put 2 tablespoons of the acid crystals into the pot, plug it in without the lid on, and let it boil for 20 minutes, then unplug it and let it sit for another 20 minutes. The water should look clear, and all the residue dissolved....it's like magic. If it isn't completely clean, I just plug it back in and let it boil some more, if that doesn't do the trick, then you just need more of those acid crystals (a bottle comes with the distiller).The water that comes out of it is as pure as can be. Previously, I was getting distilled water in plastic jugs from the store, and it always had a taste to it. You will never buy distilled water as clean as this distiller can make, because it will always get tainted by the plastic containers.Now, of course this will take a while to pay for itself. Between the electricity and water cost, you're only paying less than 15 to 25 cents a gallon to produce distilled water with zero chance of contamination from things like plastics, not to mention you don't have to lug around jugs of water anymore. So it might take a year or two to pay for itself, but everything after that means you start saving big. This is especially useful if you use a lot of water for cooking, as you can easily run through a gallon making a single stew.Being an engineer, there are some changes or additions I would make to make it even better, but overall this is a great item and I'm glad I got it. I only wish I had thought to get one sooner.

I bought this on 12/31/2013, and am writing this review on 10/18/2014. I've ran about 250 gallons water water though the distiller. It is easy to set up, very easy to use. When we first bought it, I washed the main stainless steel container, and the glass flask. We filled the distiller with about a gallon of distilled water I bought from Walmart and distilled the first gallon of water just to initially clean the internal parts that one cannot clean, and discarded the first gallon. After that we use it almost every day and store one gallon of distilled water in the fridge, and the other gallon we keep in a separate covered glass container on the counter (for cooking, coffee making, drinking when one does not want cold water, etc.). If we fill it with cold water, it takes about 6 hours to complete the distilling process (about a gallon); if we fill it with hot water, it takes about 4 1/2 to 5 hours to distill a gallon of water. At the completion of the distilling process, the unit shuts off automatically, and the glass container holding the distilled water will be warm, this is to be expected; this is one reason why we store a gallon in the fridge and have another gallon at room temp on the counter. How much noise does it make? It's not real noisy, similar to a bread making machine during the baking portion. The part that makes noise is the fan blowing air over the condensing coils. We run it either when we go to bed or when we leave the house for the day; the noise is then not an issue. It is supplied with charcoal filters that are meant to be placed in the discharge portion, but we never used them. We think the water tastes fine without using the filters; I think that would be a preference based on each individual. There may be a reason why they supplied the filters, but for us they aren't necessary. I wash out the distiller after every use just to get rid the the stuff left over from the distilling process. We throughly clean the distiller about every 7 to 10 gallons of use to get rid of the accumulated minerals that stick to the interior surface. At first we used the cleaning chemical they included (citric acid, in powder form) and followed the instructions. It worked very well. When we ran out of the cleaning chemical, we just used vinegar. We place about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of vinegar in the distiller, and leave it work on the bottom part first (about 20 minutes for our cleaning needs), then we have a setup where we turn the distiller on its side without letting the vinegar spill out (i.e., tilt it and rest it on a piece of wood or something so the vinegar doesn't spill out, I hope this is clear), then just rotate the distiller every 20 minutes or so. This way the vinegar will remove the minerals along the sides of the distiller too. It takes time, but it works. I usually set a timer and put the distiller out in the garage so the house doesn't smell of vinegar. I can imagine that some people will need to clean the distiller more often; it depends on your water source. We live remotely, and our water supply is a mountain stream, or water that we stored. The distiller will definitely kill anything in the water that may make you sick, without adding the chlorine taste. The distilled water is crystal clear. I hope my experience with the product is helpful to those reading this. I would highly recommend this product. It works well, is easy to use, easy to clean, and the price is very reasonable. I've had no problems what so ever so far.
