Mega-Classic Owners Manual
How Your Distiller Works
The Mega-Classic is designed to produce approximately one gallon of high-quality, pure
distilled water every two hours, or up to twelve gallons in a 24-hour period.
The Mega-Classic is a fully automatic unit. The water level in the boiling tank and
storage tank are controlled by individual floats and a set of microswitches.
The boiling tank operates on a
modified batch
approach. Feedwater is automatically
added until a high level is reached and this triggers the heating element and fan to
operate. This begins the distillation cycle.
As the unit distills, the water level in the boiling tank falls. When the water level gets
close to the heating element, the low-level microswitch is triggered, causing feedwater to
be added until the high level is reached. If, for some reason, no water enters the boiling
tank when needed, the fan and heating element will remain off until the condition is
corrected.
Once the storage tank is full of distilled water, the unit will automatically shut down and
the contents of the boiling tank are drained by the automatic drain valve, thereby
flushing out most of the contaminants from the boiling tank. If a drain is not available
for automatic draining, the unit can be set to drain manually.
The Mega-Classic will begin distilling again once the water level in the storage tank
drops to approximately 3/4 full. It continues to operate until the storage tank is full
again.
The built-in demand pump allows distilled water to be delivered to a faucet, chilled/hot
water dispenser, refrigerator, icemaker or other locations as desired.
Safety Feature
An overflow sensor is
installed in the drip
tray of your distiller in
the unlikely event that
a leak or an overflow
situation occurs in
your distiller. Your unit
will automatically shut
down when the switch
senses a certain level
of water in the drip
tray.
Special Feature
An Hour Meter is
installed on your
Mega-Classic. This will
allow you to track the
operation and assist
with scheduling
maintenance.
