Nature makes extremely pure water through a process called the Hydrologic Cycle.  In this process, the Sun provides heat to the Ocean, which causes evaporation. The pure water vapor rises until it condenses into clouds.  When the water in the clouds cool, the water falls (precipitates) as rain. Rain, as long as there is no air pollution, is extremely pure water.

 

Steam-distillation exactly duplicates this process. In steam-distillation, the contaminated water (your tap water) is boiled and evaporated. The pure water vapor rises (steam), and then further cooling condenses causing it to precipitate into fresh water droplets.  The droplets are collected for drinking and other purposes.

 

 

The gold standard for purity:  Steam-distillation is recognized as the premium method for purifying consumable water. Steam-distillation produces high-purity water on a consistent basis, and is the only process that can provide absolute peace of mind.

 

Boils the water:  Steam-distillation is the only water treatment process that actually boils the water, which is the single most effective way to kill waterborne bacteria, viruses and parasites.

 

Separates the pure steam:  Steam-distillation not only boils the water, but the pure steam lifts away from the contaminants in the boiling water.  The steam cools down into a separate container.  Steam is extremely pure because it leaves the contaminants behind in the boiling tank, which are then flushed down the drain.

 

Consistent results over time:  What matters is results, and you absolutely can not beat the quality, consistency, and broad spectrum removal of a Pure Water Steam-Distillation System.

Introduction.

When it comes to water, purity is the word. and, distillation provides that purity.

 

Distillation vs. Filtration and Reverso Osmosis (RO) … Barrier Methods

 

 

Filters are simply a barrier placed in a high pressure water line – note: high-pressure … is your water delivered with high pressure?.  Raw water is on one side under pressure.  'Filtered' water is on the other side.  Barrier filters include reverse osmosis (R.O.), carbon filters, sand filters and ceramic filters.

 

Filters typically cannot consistently produce high-purity water over time.

 

All Filters deteriorate, as they do, the quality of water they produce also declines.  This is why you need to change filters frequently.  (Most consumers do not replace filters in a timely manner).

 

Filters can provide inconsistent results based on a number of factors including water temperature, quality of the raw water, chemicals in the water, age of the filter, bacteria, etc.

 

Filters do not kill biological contaminants.  Filters cannot offer solid protection against biological contaminants.

 

Filters have a problem with bacteria creep. One of the most serious problems with filters is bacteria creep.  This is when trapped bacteria actually grows and multiplies within the filter and can grow through the filter causing ruptures and bacterial contamination.

 

Filters can cause direct contamination. The filter is a barrier between the raw and filtered water.  If this barrier fails for any reason, there will be direct contamination of the filtered water.  In contrast, steam-distillation boils the water and has an air gap between the raw and pure water.

 

Effectiveness

 

Steam-Distillation is the only water treatment process that can provide true peace-of-mind.  Filters, including reverse osmosis systems, are barriers, which "trap" the contaminants.  Barriers can clog, deteriorate, and leak and seals can fail resulting in a drop of effectiveness over time. With these systems, you cannot be sure of the purity you are getting because you do not know where you are on their "deterioration curve".
