    Good morning sister Jill. We are so happy your ohana invested a distiller. We all have to invest in ourselves to create our own infrastructure and supply chain to become self-reliant as possible. The distiller is one of three sources we use to collect water. If you use hot water to start with, distiller will process in fast time. We have used ours for over 10 years and still going. to add minerals back we add a pinch of (Himalayan salt or sea salt). We keep 6 gallons on a metro-rack in dinning room, rotating the 1 gallon jugs as we use them. I also canned a case of the distilled H2o, to keep sterilized water on hand for rinsing wounds as part of our medical supplies. We were able to cruise the "Alaskan Vortex" and onward to the present. We had peace of mind when all the towns around were issued "boil water" notices from there authorities because they lost power to the treatment plants and pipe breakage. We were good to go in Bedford.
    To many times the authorities have waited to long to issue warnings. Invest in yourself friends. Sorry Jill, didn't mean to type out a paragraph.

    Just unboxed my distiller. It is the vevor. I read the strangely translated😊 booklet but was so happy to find your youtube video. I have been using a cpap for 3 month now. My sleep clinic gal said tap water is fine but like you my sinuses get irritated easily. When I realized how much air was being pushed into me with cpap I thought I should be careful. I have been using water that has been boiled for a minimum of five minutes But I like the purity of distilled water and I am happy not to be boiling water or adding more plastic into recycling. I am a retired Canadian living in Queensland Australia. Thank you

    Before using the first time, you're instructed to clean the distiller with the citric acid. What is the silver trivet-like piece for? In my opinion, it we're eating as good as we can, we get minerals from the REAL foods we eat. I feel that distilled water is most certainly great to drink and safe. We got it because I'm in the middle of a 12 week gut healing protocol and our tap water is full of fluoride and chlorine. I wonder if ANY tap water has anything beneficial in it. Going forward, I have no desire to put much of anything toxic, that I can best avoid, into my system. It was amazing to finally discover what's been wrong with me. Through usage of pharmaceutical antibiotics throughout my life, I developed leaky gut. My practitioner was able to determine that I'm without the two most vital bacteria needed in our guts through testing available to all in the US. Thankfully I'm on the road to recovery and don't want to go back to poor habits/eating. Everyone is unique and different. We all must find what works best for us.

    I just made my purchase. Buying distilled water is getting expensive (and that's if you can find it). I use it for my humidifier (1 gallon per day), iron, coffee maker, steam mop and watering orchids and other sensitive plants. This will pay for itself in a couple of months. Can't believe I hadn't thought to do this sooner. I'm not clear on how you leave some water to keep it from having deposits in the bottom. Program it to stop sooner? Thanks for the video.

    I have the same model, and it works very well. Probably 200 gallons of water run through it to date and I just use vinigar and a blue scotchbrite pad to clean the lime scale out after about 5 gallons or so. Takes about 3 hours per gallon. It also works well for distilling Alcohol. I used to make home made wine, and when you make it, once in a while you get a batch that doesn't taste good, so you distill it into whisky! But, if you buy the cheepest rotgut from the store and run it through and redistill it, you get out all the bad flavors and increase the proof in the process. I got to 190 proof in some mof my batches and WOOO WHOOO, powerful stuff. All good things to know how to do and make incase the wporld does take the big turd someday. Bartering is better than cash, and clean water and alcohol are worth there weight in gold during the end of the world! 😉😇🍸

    When using for the first time with the citric acid. Make sure to fully mix the granules in the water and do not leave any on the bottom. Any left on the bottom will permanently pit the bottom and soon after that you may see rust in this pitting. I didn't know stainless steel rusts, but apparently so!

    You should test the ppm of the water, PH alone isnt a good indicator. You could add a little citric acid to the hard water and it will be PH7, but it wont be pure :). If you retest the PH after a few hours it will likely have changed. Pure water is sometimes called "hungry water" , it will absorb gasses like carbon dioxide (CO2) which will affect the PH.

    I was disappointed because I thought you were going to go into some detail about how to set time and temperature as that's the thing that is NOT covered in the instructions that come with the unit. What does come in the instructions is to wash the unit properly and to do a 20 minute run with 1 liter of water and 2 tbsp of the citric acid crystals (dissolved) then rinse with clean water to make sure your unit is clean before distilling your first batch.
    As an aside: You should be drinking distilled water because practically all water (in the US anyway) has chlorine and fluoride added. Fluoride is a NEUROTOXIN (brain poison) and you should not be putting it into your body! Stop using fluoride toothpaste! If you brush your teeth with xylitol toothpaste, use xylitol gum and xylitol pastiches you will not have cavities. There are natural bacteria in your mouth that kill the bacteria (fed by sugar among other things) that create cavities - that natural bacteria defense is killed by fluoride - that's why dentists recommend it! More clients for them....

    • @taitnt6065
      @taitnt6065 Місяць тому

      Not sure how much electricity costs in Canada but in my area it’s 14 cents per kwh.
      This machine is 750w so for me to run it for 3.5 hours would cost roughly 37 cents.
      At my local grocery store, 1 gallon of distilled water costs $1.37 plus 6% tax = $1.45, and I would also need to factor in the cost in gas (I don’t have an electric vehicle)to get to the store and back.
      Let’s assume the grocery store is 5 miles 1 way and I get 20mpg ( I actually get less but this makes the math easier). With the average gas price this month at $2.94/g, that would cost me roughly $1.47 in gas. So I would pay a total of $2.92 to drive to the store, buy the 1 gallon of distilled water, and then drive home.
      The distiller I bought was $90, so I would need to make roughly 30 gallons to break even. Also, there’s a time savings, probably 20-30 minutes per trip, which can easily add up over the year.
      With all that said, for this product to make sense, it depends on how much you will use it. Personally saving that much per gallon is a win, and I don’t have to bother with picking up gallons from the store!

      But you're going to the store anyway, most likely so I think not factoring the gas/ trip is best for other people. Thanks for the math.

      ​@@stevegyee232How about not having to accumulate the plastic bottles which, just because they might get recycled, doesn't mean they don't incur effort and energy to do so?

    Is it absolutely necessary to use the charcoal filter? Just wondering in case you ran out of replacements.

      I think so. I will reorder the charcoal for the long term

    I sterilize my water and it's silly thing called a teapot 🤕🫖

      It may sterilize but that doesn’t remove calcium deposits that stop our coffee makers, irons and can’t use in teapot. North Texas has the hardest water of any place we have ever lived and that’s saying something as we are retired military and have lived all over the world.
