Your still has two output lines, one for the distilled water, and the other for the
excess source water. Two lengths of silicone tubing feeding into a GAC post-filter
attached to a 2-holed silicone carboy bung have been provided. Once you have
your carboy situated, place the bung in the carboy, then cut and attach these two
lengths of tubing to the two stainless steel pipes on either side of the still. The
reason there are pipes on either side is to ensure good drainage from the still, in
cases where the still is not level. The lengths of the tubing should be such as to
allow for smooth downward fall of the distilled water from the still into the GAC
post-filter. The GAC post-filter should be as vertical as possible to provide even
filtration.
Similarly, there are two copper pipes on either side for the excess source water to
exit. Black EPDM tubing has been provided to attach to these copper pipes. There
is an additional wye in this line to allow for air flow in and out of the still,
necessary to avoid pressure differentials. Attach to this wye a short length of
EPDM tubing with a small piece of stocking on the end to keep bugs from entering
(see photos). This air hose should go up from the wye, but then the stocking end
should point down to prevent dust and rain from coming in. Also, attach the air
hose on the side of the still that is opposite where the water tends to exit (when you
turn on the water later, you’ll see which side the water exits).
There is a second wye for combining the two EPDM tubes together into a single
line. If you choose to collect the excess source water in a pail, then just attach
another short length of EPDM tubing and direct it to the pail. On the other hand, if
you choose to direct the water to a tree or mulch basin, then attach 1/4
″ drip
irrigation tubing using the tubing adapter that is provided.
