What is Distillation Unit / Water Distillation Unit?
It's a process that works a little like a still. Instead of removing contaminants from your water, a distiller reverses the equation and removes the water from your contaminants. Specifically, this countertop machine — which resembles what you'd expect to see if a hot-air popcorn popper and a pressure cooker ever mated and produced offspring — heats water to the boiling point, traps the rising steam, and uses an electric fan or other cooling device to condense the vapor into liquid again, minus the contaminants. You end up with one receptacle full of clean water and another lined with grit. The water you drink. The grit you throw out.
Who is it best for?
Distillation Unit, Water Distillation Unit is a good choice if you drink a lot of water and insist on the complete removal of a wide variety of contaminants. It's also preferable if you want to be spared the chore of buying and replacing filters.
What does it remove?
Distillation Unit, Water Distillation Unit tackles a wide assortment of contaminants, including pesticides, nitrates, sediment, and heavy metals (lead, copper, arsenic, cadmium). Unless a distiller includes an activated carbon filter, it won't be effective against volatile organic compounds — a family of contaminants that includes benzene and chloroform, which can sometimes show up in groundwater. The jury is still out on whether distillers can be trusted to kill Cryptosporidium, bacteria, and viruses.
