| How does a home water distiller work? |
| A fully automatic home water distiller is usually installed in a furnace or utility room. It uses the normal household current to automatically draw water into its boiling chamber. When the water boils in this chamber, water vapor or steam rises, leaving the contaminants behind. The water vapor then passes into a baffle system, where any volatile gases are released through a built-in release vent, before being fan-cooled with condensing coils and converted back into a liquid form. In the final stage, this distilled water passes through a charcoal filter and is ultimately stored in the holding tank of the home water distiller. A pump, which is attached to the holding tank of the home water distiller, channels the distilled water through an outlet to a water line that dispenses the pure, distilled water from a separate tap at your kitchen sink. A home water distiller can also be connected to your refrigerator’s ice cube maker and/or water dispenser, as well as a humidifier on your furnace. An automatic pump shut-off control protects the pump connected to your home water distiller from burning out should the holding tank ever run out of water, and a built-in safety system automatically shuts off the unit should it overheat. In addition a regulated start/stop float system extends the life of the heating element used within the home water distiller. Home Page | FAQs | Glossary | Contact Us |
