What do distiller units treat?
Distillation is an effective process for producing highly treated drinking water. Distillation can significantly reduce levels of sediment, metals and biological contaminants, which are unable to travel out of the boiling chamber with the steam. When combined with effective activated carbon filtration, contaminants like VOC’S and radon can also be controlled. It is recommended that only units designed and tested for health-contaminants-reduction be used for such purposes. These units, when combined with activated carbon filtration, can be used to effectively treat such contaminants as: • Arsenic • Asbestos • Atracine (Herbicide/Pesticides) • Benzene • Fluoride • Lead • Mercury • Nitrate • Trichloroethylene (TCE) • Trihalomethanes • Radium • Biological contaminants (bacteria, viruses and water-borne cysts like Cryptosporidium). A distillation system with activated carbon filtration can also be quite effective for treating aesthetic drinking water contaminants like chlorine or iron bacte
