After having difficulty sourcing distilled water I decided to grab one of these units for home use.
It has been simple to use once set up correctly, set up was a little trickier than indicated in the manual.
Previous reviewers have noted an issue with the outlet angle, I had this too. After my partner noticed and pushed the outlet in further the angle was corrected and there was no more need to “prop” the glass collection jug to achieve a good angle for the water collection.
So far I have produced around 40L of water and always have a lot of sediment in the stainless steel pot afterwards, this cleans up very quickly with a 50/50 warm water and vinegar solution and a quick scrub with a nylon bristle brush.
Always run the unit in a well ventilated space. This prevents the water condensation issues others have reported on cables. We have our unit in a pantry with an extraction fan turned on while it is running. It usually takes 2-3hrs to produce 4L of distilled water.
Overall very happy and it is absolutely paying itself off with being able to collect distilled water on demand.
Highly recommend for anyone with needs such as a CPAP or for general cleaning.
