We also hear about Water Distillation being one of the most consistent and purest forms of water purification. Whether it is plain ignorance or intentional misleading, we still find many filter dealers un- educated today and still putting down water distillation and distillers. It is amazing to us the ignorance and deception used by many to make consumers afraid of distilled water. Also, these other methods lose their effectivness and must be serviced and are not as consistent as water distillation. Distillation and water distilling is not a new process but in fact, a very old method of cleaning up and purifying water.
Distillation is as old as the earth.
This natural distillation method is where the sun heats the water on the earth's surface. As the upper atmosphere drops in temperature the vapors cool and convert back to water to form water droplets. This cycle is also known as Nature's Air Purification system because the water that falls in the form of rain or snow collect from the air dirt and air pollutant particles bringing them to the ground - cleaning the air. A form of distillation was used by ancient Greek sailors. They would then squeeze out the collected water from the sponges.
