So I'm one of those fat old men that has come to rely on a CPAP to enjoy decent sleep at night. Yes, I could go on buying gallon jugs of distilled water from my local store but, I'm developing a keener disgust for all the useless plastic we mindlessly just toss out of sight every single day so...I needed for my own heart to find a "home distiller". What do you know? They are actually a thing! I've been using this one for a bit over a month or so and dude...not only does it look pretty nice on my counter but, it really really works! Now, I'll be among the first to say the enclosed pitcher they send is HEAVY...like, really why does it have to be so heavy but...I'm adjusting. The process is pretty simple, pour tap water (I opt to usually use RO from our filter system) in the base of the machine, place the top on, line up the drip spout over the (heavy) pitcher and hit the "go" button. That's it. It will take a few hours to go through it's boiling/distilling process but what it gives me is crystal clear distilled water. We use it not only for my breathing machine, but also to water some of the different houseplants that really do not do well with tap water. Over-all it's been a great addition! Now...the price, yeah...it's going to take YEARS to even out against the price of store bought but guess what...I don't care! I was after not only the handy fact it's right there when I need it...and mostly against me not having to contribute to even more gallon plastic jugs out there that will never, ever rot away. The side plus...I hear from a guy that I can even do a bit of home hootch work with it. :) stay tuned.
