3rd Party Water Quality Lab Test Results for Pure Water Distillers

*See contaminant specific results below.

Here at Pure & Secure – maker of the Pure Water® and AquaNui™ brands – our mission is summed up in two words:

Perfecting Purity™

For decades, we have worked diligently to produce the best water distillers, and we constantly strive to improve quality of life by improving quality of water for our customers.

We’ve helped countless families around the world to get consistently safe water.

We’ve seen firsthand the life-changing effects of avoiding waterborne toxins and contaminants.

And we’re committed to ensuring you, your families, and your businesses have fresh distilled water for years to come.

Why 3rd Party Testing is Important

The first step in ensuring that we provide you with the best water is measuring the effectiveness of our systems, and we chose to work with 3rd party laboratories to ensure there is no bias in our measurements.

Over the years, as we got test results back, we have tweaked our designs to ensure ever better quality. Every detail is optimized. From using high-grade USA stainless steel to sourcing the best activated carbon for our sewn (never glued) filters for our Mini Classic, every component is carefully chosen because you deserve only the best.

We use third-party lab results to ensure that the best is exactly what you’re getting, and as you can see in the charts below, these results consistently show outstanding purification using Pure Water distillation systems.

Water Contaminants Removed by Distiller


Looking for a specific contaminant and removal rate? We’ve sorted the test results for Pure Water brand automatic distillers into categories below:

Removal of Biological Contaminants

Microbiological Contaminants are a group of living organisms which can be found in water supplies. Such contaminants can be the cause of illness in humans that consume drinking water containing these contaminants.

OrganismRaw Water
Concentration
Product Water
Concentration
Removal EfficiencyAction
Level
Test
Method
Bacillus subtilis1 x 108 CFU/MLNone Detected99.9%10 CFU/MLNSF Std 62, Annex C

Bacillus subtilis is used as a surrogate indicator. The removal of bacillus subtilis spores is generally recognized as an indicator of the removal of the following biological contaminants from water: K. terrigena (bacteria), the Polio and Rota viruses, Giardia Protozoa, and Cryptosporidia Protozoa.

Removal of Inorganic Contaminants

Inorganic contaminants are heavy metals, chemicals, and compounds which do not incorporate a carbon atom in their molecular structure. While relatively few in number, some inorganic contaminants have a high toxicity and can be found in many water supplies. The most toxic inorganic contaminants – such as lead – are regulated by the US EPA.

Removal of Radioactive Contaminants

Radioactive contaminants include impurities like plutonium, uranium, and strontium 90. Many people don’t realize that this contamination doesn’t just come from countries dumping radioactive waste; some radioactive contaminants, like uranium, often contaminate water naturally.

Removal of Organic Contaminants

Organic compounds contain a carbon atom in their chemicals structure. This group consists of thousands of different entities, many derived from the petrochemical industry. Common organic contaminants include cleaners, herbicides, pesticides, and industrial process wastes. 

Because herbicide and pesticide contamination is such a common concern, we’ve grouped those in a separate chart below this one of other organic contaminants:

Removal of Herbicides and Pesticides

Any chemical in a category that ends in the word “cide” – as in pestiCIDE, herbiCIDE, insectiCIDE, and fungiCIDE – are chemicals that are specifically designed to kill things and are intentionally designed to be toxic.

Herbicides are designed to kill weeds. Pesticides and insecticides are designed to kill insects, mites and other bugs. Fungicides are designed to kill fungus. Et cetera.

Many of these chemicals are heavily regulated because of the detrimental health effects they cause from extreme or sustained exposure.
