Distillation is the most effective method of water purification.
Distillation occurs when water is brought to 212 degrees, boiled, thus killing bacteria and viruses, then vaporized to separate out minerals, lead, bacteria, nitrates and other contaminants. The vapor is then condensed back into liquid water that is 99.9 percent pure. The EcoWater Distiller is portable and lightweight, making it ideal for home use or for travel where public water systems are unreliable. It removes cryptosporidium, an infectious parasite that can cause diarrhea, vomiting, fever, prolonged cholera-like illness and possible death. The distiller produces a gallon of distilled water in six hours at a fraction of the cost of buying bottled water.
