Systems

Types of Water Distillers: There are two basic types of distiller systems either Manual or Automatic.
Manual: Manual water distillers usually produce 1 gallon of water at a time. After the first gallon of water is produced, you will have to manually refill the system to produce the next gallon of water.
Automatic: Automatic water distillers are attached to a water line to continually produce pure water. Systems are monitored by electronics or float valves to stop production once the holding tanks are at a certain level.

Water Production Rates of Distiller Systems: Manual and automatic systems differ in their production rate specifications based on the size of the boiling tank and the size of the storage tank. The capacity of a manual system is based on how many gallons of water they will produce per hour. The capacity of an automatic system is rated based on the production capacity per day.

Total Holding Capacity: This is the amount of water that can be stored after distillation. Manual distillation systems generally use either a plastic or glass jar with a capacity of 1 gallon. Automatic distillation systems can store 3-25 gallons of water in a stainless steel reservoir.

Construction Materials: An 18/8 304 food grade stainless steel is utilized on all of our automatic water distillers. A 316 stainless steel is used on the condensation coil. Some countertops distillers are made with a plastic exterior and a stainless steel boiler tank.

Dispenser Type and Distiller Post Filters: Manual Dispensers are constructed of a non-leaching polypropylene #5, as well as stainless steel. Distiller carbon post filters are designed to reduce any residual tastes or odors that might have been pushed over in the distillation process. The most effective placement of a carbon post filter is after the distillation process before it enters reservoir.
