You may have wondered if it's cheaper to distill your own water. In this article, we will explain why you should buy yourself a home water distiller.
Learn more about distilled water!
Distilled water is water that has been purified by evaporation and condensation. Many of the contaminants in the source water never reach the gas phase, so the resulting water is much cleaner.
Some water distillation methods involve boiling water and collecting the steam. As the steam cools, it is collected as distilled water.
Other methods rely on the evaporation of water. The water does not boil, but changes in temperature or pressure create water vapor. The vapor is cooled to form distilled water.
What benefits can you get from using a home water distiller?
Unless you go out into the wilderness and work hard to collect rain or snow, it costs money to buy a water distiller because it uses fuel or electricity to heat the water. But don't worry, buying a home water distiller is much cheaper than boiling your own water on a stove or buying bottled water.
A home water distiller can cost anywhere from about $100 to a few hundred dollars, so if you are making distilled water for drinking, then a less expensive kit will do, and you don't need more expensive machines or accessories.
Why water distillers can make safe and hygienic water available to everyone?
Distilled water is a form of pure water, and getting it through bottled water can be very expensive and inefficient. So let's see how a water distiller can be used to make safe and hygienic water available to everyone at home!
The distillation process involves boiling the water (for example from a tap) to leave behind all dissolved solids and inactive microorganisms. This includes inactivating viruses, such as the one we are recently suffering from, for example the COVID-19 coronavirus. Immediately after the water source boils, all the evaporated water condenses into a separate clean container as liquid water. If you decide to purchase a home water distiller, then I can tell you that you will be safe from many viruses now because the water contains volatile organic contaminants. During the distillation process, any contaminants in the water that exceed the boiling point and are present in vapor form are eventually transferred to the final water product. There is a large group of contaminants that evaporate easily at low temperatures because of their low boiling points. We call them volatile organic pollutants, or VOCs for short.
In the United States, chlorine is added to water treatment plants to disinfect the water. The reaction of chlorine with organic matter in water produces many unwanted VOC byproducts. One very large VOC category is "total trihalomethanes" which have been shown to be carcinogenic.
For example, one of the EPA-regulated THMs is chloroform, and swimming pools are where you will find the most chloroform, so let's imagine! Chlorine is used in large quantities to disinfect pool water, and when people swim in pool water, the water is exposed to large amounts of organic material. Making chlorine react with organic materials like our hair, skin, sweat and even urine, leaving these contaminants in the water, you will notice the odor and smell of these gases, so of course they pose a health risk. The fact that there are so many viruses in water that hasn't been purified just reminds us that distillation systems need to replace activated carbon filters.
The EPA states that one of the best available technologies for VOC removal, and the process that seems to have the greatest impact on pesticide removal is granular activated carbon (GAC). Activated carbon filters fluids by trapping contaminants within the pore structure of each carbon particle. This is the process of adsorption. Distillation systems pass water through activated carbon filters with the aim of reducing these contaminants and thus improving the taste and odor of the water.
Distillation systems and activated carbon filters produce the best you can drink, and our machines are just what you need for a clean, delicious glass of pure water! So for the sake of your health, stop making your own distilled water and buy a good value water distiller that can save you time and effort!
Is it cheaper to distill your own water?
Many people want to know if a water distiller is worth the money, so we thought we'd break down the pros and cons of having a distiller versus other options, from tap water to pitcher filters, bottled water, and reverse osmosis systems. By the end of this article, we think you'll agree that a water distiller is the right solution if you want the cleanest, safest, most natural and healthiest drinking water on the planet.
We know you're interested in water distillation, so we'll start with that and compare it with other options below. Pure water distillers boast of being made in the USA and are available in both manual and automatic versions. And, pure water distillers produce 99.9% pure steam distilled water in a natural process that mimics the hydrological cycle. The cost of running a water distiller depends on how often you use it. On average, it costs about 2 cents per cup to produce pure water from our distillers, including the cost of running water and electricity.
The initial cost of a pure water distiller can range from $635 to approximately $5,000, depending on the model you choose. (Financing options are available). The advantage of purchasing a pure water distiller over a cheaper, smaller plastic model is that our pure water distillers last for many years and our larger units can make many gallons of distilled water per day. In fact, some of them have equipment that is 40 years old! On top of that, we sell all the parts you may need for your water distiller to make minor repairs to your machine. Pure Water brand distillers are not like cheap distillers that will be thrown away within a few years.
If you are considering using a distiller because you care about your water quality, you are an educated consumer. The truth is that no one really knows what's in their local tap water. The government tests for specific amounts of contaminants, but not all of them. There are pharmaceuticals, microplastics and other toxins that can be in our water and we don't even know about it. If water does become contaminated from broken pipes, pesticide runoff or chemical dumping, a pure water distiller can give you peace of mind. Take a look at the contaminants we tested and how our well water distillers remove them.

Distilled water is less than 2 cents per cup!
Distilled water costs much less than most people think. It's much cheaper than bottled water or delivery services. This is exactly why many people choose to rely on pure steam distilled drinking water. Distillation offers the highest removal rate (99.9%) for the widest range of contaminants. The result is some of the purest drinking water on the planet! When you consider the value of your health and peace of mind, this is a priceless commodity.
What is the actual cost of distilled water? The answer varies, depending on whether you buy bottled water, pay someone to deliver it, or produce it at home with your own home distilled water system. Recent studies have shown that using a water distiller to purify water may cost less than 2 cents a glass!
Quit Buying Bottled Water or make unhealthy water yourself and Save Money! At less than 2 cents per glass, the Co-Z water distiller proves to be a money-saver and health-improver!
