The Advantages of a Countertop Water Distiller

Many people are concerned with the impurities that are found in tap water and prefer to give their families clean and purified drinking water from countertop water distillers. There are many advantages to countertop water distillers, however, besides just healthy drinking water.

What Are Countertop Water Distillers?

• Countertop water distillers are water purification systems that range in size from small portables that are similar in size to kettles, right up to large ones that are the size of small refrigerators. The smaller ones are usually home units that sit on the counter and plug right into the electric socket. They have water reservoirs that can hold up to three or four liters of water at a time and can be filled manually with tap water. Larger commercial countertop distillers are usually directly connected to the water line and are hard-wired directly into the electrical box.

  Water distillers produce quality, clean drinking water by removing all the impurities, minerals, chlorine and fluoride, and reducing the level of chemical contaminates. The minerals removed can be regained from the foods we eat.

At home convenience

• With a countertop water distiller in your kitchen, the supply of clean, purified water is conveniently right at your fingertips. You no longer have to lug big empty jugs to the grocery store to get them refilled, or go without distilled water because you couldn't get to the store.

  The smaller units can be used as attractive water jugs at the dinner table, and even children can handle them.

Great Reminder

• Countertop water distillers are designed to compliment your kitchen appliances and add to the décor of the room. But more than that, they are a great way to encourage your family to drink water instead of unhealthy sodas or sugar drinks.

  Kids, especially, love to fill their own glasses and will enjoy drinking water just to get the privilege. And the result is happier and healthier kids.

Better for the environment

• With countertop water distillers there is no more need for plastic water bottles that are cluttering the environment and damaging the soil in unbelievable measures. Even though most of us are faithfully tossing the empty water bottles into the recycle bins, there are thousands just being tossed and they are exposing chemicals and pollution into the environment.

  If you prefer to take your own supply of water to work, purchase a reusable plastic or metal container instead of buying bottled water. Also, giving kids their own colored containers is a great way to get them to drink more water while teaching them how to keep our environment healthy.

Bathing Newborns

• The components that are in tap water such as chlorine and fluoride can dry out a baby's skin regardless of what kinds of sensitive skin soap products are used. These components add to the issues of cradle cap and their tiny bodies drying out and peeling.

  The countertop distillers produce pure, taste-free water that is ideal for a baby's sensitive skin. As well, since there are no harsh chemicals in the water, the soap and shampoo will last much longer because very little is required to make lather.

Indoor Plants & Cut Flowers

• House plants can get limp, become scrawny and stop flowering because the hard minerals in tap water prevent the roots from drinking. Often, the soil will still feel wet but we give them more water thinking they're thirsty, but this overwatering encourages disease and root rot. As well, the chemicals, chlorine and fluoride in the tap water can destroy the roots and prevent the plants from flourishing.

  Distilled water removes the hardness caused by the minerals and allows the roots to drink the water freely. It also eliminates the chlorine and fluoride which can accumulate with the minerals in the soil over a period of time and harm the plants. Plants are healthier and cut flowers live longer.

Car Batteries

• Occasionally, we need to fill our car battery with water. The worst type of water to use is regular tap water because of the minerals in it that cling to the components of the battery and destroy it. Distilled water is free of all minerals, chlorine and fluorides that could damage the battery.

  With the countertop water distiller, you can pour the water right into a large water bottle or container for the convenience of filling the battery.
