Isn it expensive to distill water? Doesn a distiller use a lot of electricity?
A Not really, it takes about 3 kilowatt hours to make a gallon of distilled water. A kilowatt = 1000 watts, a kilowatt hour is 1000 watts per hour. The power company sells you electricity by the kilowatt; the average kilowatt cost is about 8 cents. Since the distiller will use three kilowatt hours to make a gallon of water the cost is about 24 cents per gallon. That’s a whole lot cheaper than bottled water.
