Distilled water is water that has been heated to the boiling point so that impurities are separated from the water, which itself becomes vapor or steam. Steam is then condensed back into pure liquid form. The impurities remain as residue and are removed. Pure Water Distillation Systems remove waterborne biological contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, volatile gases, cysts and other contaminants.

Reverse Osmosis and Distillation processes do a very good job at removing contaminants from your water, but they start with dead tap water and do nothing to restore the vital properties of natural living water. Water that has had everything removed from it, is considered molecularly "aggressive" which means that it eagerly bonds with contaminants from the air and leaches substances from plastic containers.

There is absolutely no comparison! Today in America, bottled water is a multi-billion dollar industry. It is the fastest growing and most profitable segment of the entire beverage industry but there is no comparison in quality. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each week by water bottlers to create the perception that bottled water comes from some magical pristine mountain spring or pure underground aquifer.

Bottled water quality is determined under different standards than tap water and is, therefore, quite difficult to regulate. Many bottled water brands merely purify tap water with a reverse osmosis or other treatment system and then reintroduce minerals for enhanced taste. The AQ-4000 retains natural trace minerals for a great-tasting, cost-effective product with reliable quality. Yes, the AQ-4000 is certified to NSF standards 42 & 53 by Spectrum Labs.

I have heard all kinds of controversy about distilled water - most everyone I know who is against it also happens to sell some other type of water filtration device, oddly enough. I marketed all kinds of water products in the late 1980's; water softeners, filters, reverse-osmosis and distillers. I researched the products very well. See similar questions...

to start. It's not that critical, as the water evaporates eventually anyway - the proportions are constantly changing because of this. Don't forget to use distilled water to replenish is as needed. Eventually is a long time, and evaporate / dissipate the wrong words. in several years the PG will become less effective due to reactions with contaminants in the air (er, like tobacco smoke for instance )(G&D). I recommend changing it ever year or so because of this phenomena. See similar questions...

Bottled vs. tap water. Municipal water is used as a source for approximately 25% of the bottled water sold in the United States. However most of this processed water has gone through significant processing such as reverse osmosis, deionization, activated carbon filtration and other treatments. Often it is packaged as "purified" or "drinking water". If the water has not been substantially altered, then it must state on the label that the water comes from a municipal water source.

NO!! It is very important that you use distilled water and not tap or spring water. Depending on the minerals that are present in your tap or spring water, the boiling point could be off by as much as 2 or 3 degrees! Distilled water may also be labeled demineralized water and this is fine to use. In the U.S., many pharmacies and drug stores carry distilled water and it usually costs about $1/gallon.

Two-thirds of all bottled water today is filtered tap water; the other one-third comes from other sources such as wells or springs. Almost all bottled water is then filtered at the bottling plant and sealed into bottles. Bottled water is not necessarily safer than tap water, as it then sits un-refrigerated in its bottle for indefinite amounts of time, allowing for the growth of bacteria, or leaching of the chemicals that make up the plastic bottles.

Bottled water is not necessarily safer than your tap water. EPA sets standards for tap water provided by public water systems; the Food and Drug Administration sets bottled water standards based on EPA's tap water standards. Bottled water and tap water are both safe to drink if they meet these standards, although people with severely compromised immune systems and children may have special needs. Some bottled water is treated more than tap water, while some is treated less or not treated at all. See similar questions...

In 2006, the equivalent of 2 billion half-liter bottles of water were shipped to U.S. ports, creating thousands of tons of global warming pollution and other air pollution. In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution. See similar questions...

Both tea and coffee require at least one-third less granules. Ice cubes are crystal clear. Juices made from distilled water have a pure, clear flavor. Even "straight water" will taste "clean". In addition, household items requiring water (refrigerator's ice-cube maker, humidifier, irons, etc.) will all last longer when there is no chemical or mineral build-up. Your plants will love it too!

Tea and coffee have more flavor. Coffee requires one-third less granules. Ice cubes are crystal clear, foods digest much better and distilled water enhances the flow of nutrients into the blood stream. You'll discover that a glass of cold, distilled water tastes "clean". Everything remains pure because there's nothing left in the water to interfere with of change those original, natural flavors. See similar questions...

Your credo is going to become less and less efficient over time. Filtered tap water is full of all the dissolved minerals which will ultimately plug your credo. The PH is balanced in tap water with chemicals which may interfere with the PG and cause variations in your humidity. Spring for a $0.69 gallon jug of distilled water. It'll make a difference.
