Distillation

Distillation is the single most effective method for producting PURE water. The distiller can remove a greater range of pollutants to a higher degree than any other single apparatus. No process, natural or artificial, including filtration, deionization and reverse osmosis is so efficient. For these reasons, distillation has long been recognized as a standard for purity and dependability. Most liquid prescription medicines are blended with distilled water to avoid problems with the inconsistent quality of water. Many doctors prescribe distilled water for their patients to drink, especially those on sodium or salt restriced diets. Distillation normally removes 99% of the dissolved minerals in water. Carry-over is primarily a concern with volatile organic chemical contaminants. Filtering the distilled water through a carbon filter removes these contaminants. An activated post carbon filter is recommended for this purpose.
