I have bought a Megahome water distiller exactly like this one (glass jug) on line few months ago and I`m very happy with it. To clean the inside of it I use a table spoon of vinegar in about half centimetre of water to clean the bottom of the heating chamber. Leave the vinegar for about 15 min then gently scrub. I repeat this few times if there is too much crap at bottom. It cleans it ok.
It's easier if you clean it out each time you use it - simply add some water and rinse out with a dish sponge. For the tougher bits near where the heating elemet is situated, just use a little lemon juice or vinegar - leave for a while then rinse out.
So if you're cleaning the container and you say to turn it on for 15 minutes, how does one turn the unit off? Unplug? Also do you have to wait 20 minutes before you take off lid after soaking cleaning solution?
I have a smilar distiller but what I want to know is that; at what degree cantigrade should I work it?It works but I only get very low little alcohol.Do you reccomend me to limit its heat degree using thermostat. 90 degree is ok? Thank you
I have a question when I should get a new charcoal patch and can I use baking soda to clean it it I run out of the cleaner powder 🥺 and when I should clean ?
So just to be clear you have to run the machine with cleaner inside of it between every distillation which takes hours. So you're not going to be processing more than a gallon or two per day?
No, just rinse and use a non stick scouring sponge after every distillation. Use the cleaning crystals once a month or when you notice a build up of lime scale but don't put the lid on.
Help! I've had my megahome water distiller for a few months now and I really don't like the taste. It has this foul taste and smell to it? It doesn't taste or smell clean? Is this normal? The water taste and smell like the leftovers at the bottom of the tank after a run. I clean my distiller regularly there is no buildup what so ever in the tank. I do not add minerals as I believe we get minerals from what we eat anyways, but would adding minerals mask the foul taste?
Plastic collection jug is a joke. It make the water taste like piss. Use a glass one instead. Use Cheap supermarket water, not tap water, no black residue from the supermarket water. Fill to within an inch of the full line, don't fill to the line itself. Use 2 carbon filters, not 1. If the clean is too expensive, use a mix of citric acid, and baking soda. Clean about once a week. Don't let it boil until it turns itself off. You'll end up with a filthy residue on the bottom of the distilling pot. Use a timer socket if possible. Enjoy
Get yourself a glass kettle .. filter your water - fill the kettle - boil it & let it cool - if the result is NOT perfectly clear with NO residue on the surface of the water or the heating element of the kettle, then your filter is not doing its job. I've spent 2 years researching this using various types of filter and so far the ONLY filtration system that works and works at least 99% is 'distillation' where you end up with pure water and an unbelievably spotless kettle every time. Some sellers also supply an electronic water tester with the kit. My tap water read 0486 parts per million of crap.. Distilled...? wait for it..... 0000 !
Violet Blye it’s not, that cable connects the cooling fan to the base. The main power cable from the base to the plug socket is actually quite long. Plug one end into the base and the other end into the plug socket on the wall. The one you see here is fixed to the cooling fan. Once the top is on just connect the end into the base next to the main cable.
megahome are the very best
I have 2 distillers I am in Ireland water is very bad here we can never be without distillers now
Thanks for the advice about air space around the device 👍🏻

Salute Harry! Well done for the explanation. I'm going for glass one to purchase right now!

Why do you need a carbon filter for distilled water?
I have a question when I should get a new charcoal patch and can I use baking soda to clean it it I run out of the cleaner powder 🥺 and when I should clean ?
Hi, great video, could you please tell me if the one in the below link is good to buy? thanks

What is the purpose of the filter? Doesn't distilling eliminate any need for a filter?
Prince William has his fingers in a lot of pies these days!
I was just getting ready to say how much he resembles him!!!!

Put some sea salt or himalayan !
Your water is too dirry. You need to filter the water. Get a cheap sediment water filter.
do you change the charcoal filter every month?
Thank you for the excellent instruction video!
Where to purchase the one with the glass jug?
what PH level do you end up with from this machine.
Plastic collection jug is a joke.

Use a glass one instead.
Use Cheap supermarket water, not tap water, no black residue from the supermarket water.
Fill to within an inch of the full line, don't fill to the line itself.
Use 2 carbon filters, not 1.

Clean about once a week.
Don't let it boil until it turns itself off.

Why is the power cable so short?

Somebody in here know how to make essential oil on the megahome alcoholdistiller .Thx
Hey I ordered one of these from you guys today :)
how was it?
@@Mr2Badboybrown Hey man,that was 5 years ago but I've use it 3-4 times a week and it's still going strong. I highly recommend it.
Why would you need to use AC on a distiller?
plastic collection jar, YUCK! use glass.
