- A water distiller is a water treatment process
that mimics mother nature's natural filtration process,
the hydrologic cycle.
The sun evaporates water, turns it into clouds,
and it returns to the earth in the form of precipitation.
A water distiller does the same thing.
It boils water into steam
and cools and condenses that steam back
into liquid and in the process,
anything that won't turn to steam is left behind.
A water distiller works by boiling water
and turning it into steam.
The steam is then condensed and cooled,
returning it back to liquid.
In the process, anything that will not turn
into steam like minerals, micro-biologic things,
are left behind.
The uses for distilled water are many.
They're used in a laboratory or medical field
where water has to be relatively mineral free.
It's used for cooking.
It's used for making baby formulas,
and it's used for drinking.
Distilled water has lots of uses.
Water distillers eliminate anything that
is inorganic in mineral,
things like lead, things like arsenic,
and things like fluoride.
It also removes micro-biologic, living organisms.
They cannot survive the boiling and steaming process.
If you've ever heard of a boil order,
that's because it kills bacteria.
Well that happens in a water distiller.
Water distillers are important
because they can produce a very high quality water
that's mineral free, it's living organism free
and depending upon their application,
it could be very useful for medical applications,
for pharmaceutical applications.
It's also good for consumption
because it doesn't have things like chemicals,
like inorganic minerals or living organisms
that your body's just gonna have to deal with.
There's a variety of water distillers available.
The question of which one's best starts
with the one that can make enough water
to meet your demand.
If you're in an office and you have 20 people
that'll be using this water,
than you're gonna need something that's capable
of generating enough water and storing enough water
that your office staff has plenty of water to drink.
Something like this unit here
has a three gallon storage container on the bottom.
This can also go all the way to 12 gallons,
and it'd be considered a residential water softener.
A homeowner with just a few people
at the house using the water,
something like this countertop would work very well.
Besides that the decisions are what
is the distiller made out of.
Sometimes stainless and glass are probably
a preferential choice over plastic.
A water distiller can be used to distill alcohol,
but be careful it's still illegal,
unless you're permitted to distill alcohol.
Distilled water is very healthy to drink.
It removes the inorganic mineral.
It removes micro-biologic organisms
and it removes most chemicals
and that provides a very high quality water
to drink or to cook with.
There is a controversy surrounding whether
or not water of that quality leeches minerals
from your body or doesn't provide you enough
of the essential minerals.
Well providing essential minerals,
we don't get minerals from our water supply.
We get our minerals from the foods
and vegetables that we eat.
Water is a lubricant, it's for hydration.
Bodies are made up of 70% to 80% water,
so the water that we intake should
be very high quality so that our kidneys
don't have to filter things out.
There's also a belief that water
of this quality will leech minerals from your body,
stripping you of minerals you've already ingested.
Well if you're working or if you are
on a nutritious diet where you're getting adequate minerals,
the little tiny microscopic amount
of minerals that could be pulled out
from the water aren't gonna really make a difference.
Distilled water has removed a lot
of the things that could be harmful,
that may potentially be present in untreated water.
Municipality treated water is supposed
to meet certain guidelines.
So they do a good job at making sure the water's safe,
but there are times when things happen
that are out of their control,
so protecting our drinking water
by using a distiller is actually keeping us
from having an issue that we didn't see coming.
