Distillers

The Distillation Process

Distillation has been an essential part of nature since the earth began. The heat of the sun evaporates water from the earth's surface into the atmosphere, leaving impurities behind. As the vapor cools, it condenses and falls back to earth as rain, snow or other forms of precipitation.

Water distillation is the process of boiling water in a chamber creating steam. As the vapor rises, it passes through cooling coils and collects as pure water. All of the contaminants are left behind in the boiling tank and gases that vaporize at temperatures lower than the boiling point of water are released through volatile gas vents. In essence, distillation duplicate's mother nature's cycle of evaporation and precipitation and is highly effective in removing all inorganic, organic and radionucleotide contaminants. These include heavy metals, ammonia, nitrate, chloride, fluoride, radium 226, industrial organic contaminants, and pollutants.

Distillation is also highly effective in removing commonly used insecticides, herbicides, and lead as well as all bacteria and viruses.

History

Distillation has been the source of pure water for centuries. Over two thousand years ago, Julius Caesar used solar distillation to produce drinking water for his soldiers. Parts of our world today continue to produce fresh water from sea water, simply by using the sun's heat.

Until the late 1960's, water distillation systems were mainly commercial, used on ships to convert sea water to drinking water and used in laboratories, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic firms. However, as environmental pollution increased, health-conscious people saw a future for residential water distillers.

Effectiveness

The first residential water distillers were designed primarily to remove dissolved solids and inorganic salts. As more 'sophisticated' chemicals were created in our society, the need evolved for 'volatile gas release vents' and 'pre' or 'post' filtration.

Charcoal filters provide double assurance that 'volatile' contaminants, which may escape being vented, do not end up in the distilled water storage tank. These filters do not breed bacteria, as only pure water passes through. Distillers may also have a self-sterilizing feature for more protection.

Distillation systems offer their users consistently high quality water and, when used according to the manufacturer's instructions, offer rejection rates exceeding 95% of contaminants. Our systems have a proven rejection rate of over 99%!
