Question from lindaann36
Hi, i love your website, and all the great info you provide. I was wondering what your thoughts are on THE WATERWISE DISTILLER MODEL 4000. www.waterwise.com Thanks.
Debra’s Answer
Many years ago I read a report on a test Rodale Press did on stainless steel water distillers. They said they found metals in the product water that had leached from the stainless steel during distillation.
For this reason, since then I have not recommended stainless steel distillers, which the waterwise distillers are.
The only water distiller is one made from Pyrex glass, which is avialable at http://www.rain-crystal.com/default2.htm.
I used one of these distiller for many years when I lived in California. When I moved to Florida, there was too much sediment in the water. It unfortunately clogged the distiller and was too difficult to clean out before I could figure out that I needed a sediment prefilter here. We ended up getting a whole house water filter from Go Beyond Organic.
