Why our water distillers ROCK! (part 5)
I’m going to end up this week-long series on “Why our water distillers ROCK!” with the most important point of all; purity! It’s a simple fact; premium water distillers produce the purest water of any single water treatment method. Our competitors know this too, that’s why they try to compete by saying that they purify the water, but not too much. They say they leave the good stuff in and take the bad stuff out; which is of course impossible and if they had any shame they’d be embarrassed to make such a ridiculous statement.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to consume water that is free from toxins. There is no treatment method that can 100% guarantee pure water, simply because there is no such thing as 100% pure water. There are fundamental differences in the core technologies however.
The most popular treatment method is filtration, which includes reverse osmosis. The problems with this technology are obvious, a) filters only remove contaminants that are larger than the pore size on the filter, b) filters deteriorate and their effectiveness decreases over time, c) filters do nothing to kill biological contaminants, and d) if there is any failure of the filter there is direct contamination of the “purified” water. Now understand that these are not minor weaknesses that companies can overcome over time by investing more money into R&D, but rather these are fundamental problems that are inherent in the technology!
Distillation is not perfect either, but it’s the absolute best water purification system on the market today. Here’s why; a) distillation boils the water which is an extremely effective method for killing biological contaminants, b) distillation collects only the pure water vapor and cools it down into pure distilled water in a separate container. This is important for two reasons; first, there is an air gap between the incoming water and the purified water which is an added layer of protection. Second, this process doesn’t rely upon a filter but rather a physical law of nature, meaning that the process of evaporating water is a process that has stayed the same since the beginning of time. As a result, c) distillation produces high purity water on a consistent basis for as long as the water distiller operates.
So, back to this 40 year old water distiller that has produced over 43,800 gallons of distilled water. This 40 year old distiller today is producing the same high-purity water as it did 40 years ago! It will continue to do so because this is the nature of distillation. This is why our water distillers ROCK!

Dear Author,
You stated toward the end of this article: “Distillation is not perfect either, but it’s a heck of a lot better.”
I would appreciate you providing me with 10(ten) reasons, based on science why Distilled Water made in my Pure Water Distiller is not perfect.

Thanks for the reply Art. First of all, this is the second comment that I received on this article about how I could have worded things better (I received a message on Facebook). Instead of saying “it’s a heck of a lot better”, I should have clearly stated that “it’s the absolute best water purification system on the market”, because this is an accurate statement. Thanks for pointing this out and i have made the change in the article.
The second point, when I said that distillation is not perfect, is an accurate statement. There is no such thing as a perfect machine, just as there is no such thing as 100% pure water. A Rolls Royce car is not a perfect machine, nor is a Lamborgini – simply because “perfect” is impossible. The purpose of this blog is to educate. We try to be as precise in our wording as possible. To answer this point further I will make a blog post about this point soon.

This whole series on why our distillers ROCK has been well-thought-out because there is just too much science to teach in one lesson. A distinction needs to be made between the product and the process. The hydrologic cycle is a perfect process and always has been. Evaporation is removing the water from the contamination, but when we try to replicate this original design inside a manufactured box, we introduce some variables, not unlike the re-contamination possibilities that occur in condensation, precipitation, and distribution in nature. But of course, we continue to learn how to enhance protection from new environmental toxins with post-distillation science.

Thanks for the comment Kevin. In fact, the hydrologic cycle in a well-designed distiller could now be better than nature’s hydrologic cycle, simply because we have a controlled environment. Nature’s hydrologic cycle is under assault from all sides. Rain water for example is still pure water, but it picks up air pollution on the way down.
