How does the Aquasana process compare to Distillation?
The AQ-4000, unlike distillation, is a selective filter that reduces chemical and metal contaminants while leaving in good, healthy trace minerals for pH balanced, great tasting water. Distillation removes only contaminants with a higher boiling point than water; chlorine and VOCs are not included among these contaminants. Distillation, like reverse osmosis, is also a relatively wasteful and inefficient process when compared to the AQ-4000.
