Date: December 27, 2013 08:28PM I don't see any point either, in using a carbon filter before the distiller. A good water distiller should purify the water to just h2o, with miniscule amounts of toxins. It can't get them all. We've used a pyrex glass water cooled water distiller for decades now. Air cooled work just as well. Re: Water Distillers

Date: December 27, 2013 08:43PM Well the distiller I'm purchasing has one but I was just curious. My guess is that it gets whatever the distiller didn't get on its own, however miniscule that may be. Re: Water Distillers

Date: January 02, 2014 02:27PM Jtprindl, apparently some of the volatiles vary in their boiling point from water so most good distillers have a venting system for V.O.C.s in addition to providing the activated charcoal filters to provide for that.
Personally I don't know much about that. What I do know is that with my deep well water and my distiller the final product tastes better when I use the activated carbon filters so I use them. Re: Water Distillers

Date: January 03, 2014 08:09PM Which distiller did you buy? Is the activated charcoal enclosed inline or does it slide in above the collection jug? Re: Water Distillers

Date: January 03, 2014 08:45PM I bought the MegaHome Water Distiller.
Link: [www.nutriteam.com] Not sure about the activated charcoal, mine hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow instead of waiting until Monday (I live really close to the UPS location). Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
