Understanding How Pure Water is Produced
Your water distiller operates the same as Nature’s hydrological cycle. See
the Hydrological Cycle Diagram below. Nature uses the heat of the sun to
vaporize surface water and draw it into the atmosphere leaving the impurities
behind. As the vapour cools it condenses and returns back to the earth as rain
or snow. When rain or snow falls it passes through smog, dust and many other
types of contaminants. These contaminants can be picked up by the falling rain
or snow. Additional contamination of water can occur when it moves through the
ground.

Hydrological Cycle Diagram
Water Distillers complete their own hydrological cycle. The advantage of
a water distiller over Nature is that the water is produced in a closed environment
free of pollution and contaminants.
Your water distiller uses the boiling tank to heat the feed water to create
steam. The steam rises from the boiling tank leaving almost all of the impurities
behind. The steam enters the condensing coil and is cooled by the fan. As the
steam cools it condenses into pure distilled water and is stored in a water bottle
or optional stainless steel storage tank. The charcoal filter (between the
condensing coil and storage container) and the volatile gas vent remove any
contaminants that boil at lower temperatures than the boiling point of water. The
impurities from the process remain in the boiling tank and are drained to a
suitable drain.
