HOW
IT
WORKS
This Distiller produces purifi ed water by using the oldest, most effective
method of water treatment–steam distillation. When the Distiller is operat-
ing, the water temperature rises to 212° F (100° C), killing bacteria, cysts,
and viruses that may be present. As boiling water (1) converts to steam
(2), it rises and leaves behind dead microbes, dissolved solids, salts, heavy
metals, and other substances. Low boiling light gases that may be present
are discharged through the gaseous vent (3). Steam is then cooled in the
stainless steel condenser (4), turning it into purifi ed water. Distilled
water percolates through a fi nal polishing coconut shell carbon fi lter (5) to
enhance quality by adsorption of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), then
is collected in a GE Lexan
®
polycarbonate collection/storage bottle (6).
