Water Distiller Update, 2006

Well, it’s been almost a year now and my little water distiller is still distilling water like crazy!

As you can see from the picture… sort of… I kept a log of the number of gallons that I distilled. I marked one tally for every gallon, month by month. It was just coincidence that all of 2006 fit on one page. Well, almost all of 2006; from Feb 2006 until the end of Dec 2006, I distsilled about 166 gallons. That’s about one gallon every two days.

Cleaning it has not been much trouble. I even let it go for a month or so because I ran out of cleaner, but it works well even if it’s really nasty inside. Now I clean it once a week, sometime over the weekend.

If you don’t want to buy the cleaner from the distiller guys, you can get some from Urnex. I found some good cleaner from these guys:

The product is called Dezcal:

Works well, but if your distiller is really nasty (like mine was), you’d do well to use two packs (or more) per gallon until she’s clean.
