Home Water Sterilization/Distiller! Super Easy!

You can live a long time without food, but not very long without clean water. That’s why we picked up a VEVOR water distiller. This is going to be a great addition to our ability to make sure we have clean water on hand at all times.You can also use this beautiful unit to make Essential Oils and Alcohol for consumption or disinfection. Check out their link below. If this is something you may be interested in. Also, let me know what you use distilled water for.

Good morning sister Jill. We are so happy your ohana invested a distiller. We all have to invest in ourselves to create our own infrastructure and supply chain to become self-reliant as possible. The distiller is one of three sources we use to collect water. If you use hot water to start with, distiller will process in fast time. We have used ours for over 10 years and still going. to add minerals back we add a pinch of (Himalayan salt or sea salt). We keep 6 gallons on a metro-rack in dinning room, rotating the 1 gallon jugs as we use them. I also canned a case of the distilled H2o, to keep sterilized water on hand for rinsing wounds as part of our medical supplies. We were able to cruise the "Alaskan Vortex" and onward to the present. We had peace of mind when all the towns around were issued "boil water" notices from there authorities because they lost power to the treatment plants and pipe breakage. We were good to go in Bedford. To many times the authorities have waited to long to issue warnings. Invest in yourself friends. Sorry Jill, didn't mean to type out a paragraph.

I like that it has a timer, the temp is in C not F for those wondering. Other uses for distilled water, car batteries and engine coolant.

[@MrFinner666]

It shows both temps

[@elisecharron7253]

Just unboxed my distiller. It is the vevor. I read the strangely translated😊 booklet but was so happy to find your youtube video. I have been using a cpap for 3 month now. My sleep clinic gal said tap water is fine but like you my sinuses get irritated easily. When I realized how much air was being pushed into me with cpap I thought I should be careful. I have been using water that has been boiled for a minimum of five minutes But I like the purity of distilled water and I am happy not to be boiling water or adding more plastic into recycling. I am a retired Canadian living in Queensland Australia. Thank you

[@katielin2379]

I have an older vevor distiller. I have EXTREME hard water. This machine has been a real trooper.

[@ntxg]

So good to hear!!!

[@atomizer2665]

You should test the ppm of the water, PH alone isnt a good indicator. You could add a little citric acid to the hard water and it will be PH7, but it wont be pure :). If you retest the PH after a few hours it will likely have changed. Pure water is sometimes called "hungry water" , it will absorb gasses like carbon dioxide (CO2) which will affect the PH.

Good Morning Jill from SW Oklahoma .

[@ntxg]

Good morning!!!

[@johnking-ht5ez]

Jill. You are something else. A real live wire.

[@1RodeoMom]

Great idea!! I love distilled water. Hubby needs it for his bi-pap machine and I like using it for almost everything. This will take us away from having to buy it by the gallon.

[@ntxg]

It sure will!

[@mrwhitten7704]

Very interesting. During the winter we use a lot of distilled water for our humidifier in the bedroom and also use distilled water for our hardwood floor steamer. I can see multiple uses for something like this. Thanks for sharing!

[@ntxg]

I love this! I’m going to put in gallon containers for so many uses!

[@shannonthomas8629]

Before using the first time, you're instructed to clean the distiller with the citric acid. What is the silver trivet-like piece for? In my opinion, it we're eating as good as we can, we get minerals from the REAL foods we eat. I feel that distilled water is most certainly great to drink and safe. We got it because I'm in the middle of a 12 week gut healing protocol and our tap water is full of fluoride and chlorine. I wonder if ANY tap water has anything beneficial in it. Going forward, I have no desire to put much of anything toxic, that I can best avoid, into my system. It was amazing to finally discover what's been wrong with me. Through usage of pharmaceutical antibiotics throughout my life, I developed leaky gut. My practitioner was able to determine that I'm without the two most vital bacteria needed in our guts through testing available to all in the US. Thankfully I'm on the road to recovery and don't want to go back to poor habits/eating. Everyone is unique and different. We all must find what works best for us.

[@IHGChick]

No tap water is good for you. Even our well water is heinous, I think because even the water table has been poisoned in many areas from all the agricultural chemicals and chemicals from plastics, manufacturing, etc, that go into landfills.

[@monikas5125]

Good morning Jill good to see you

I been using a Megahome Distiller for over 5 yrs now. It gives me a gallon at a time. But I have been thinking about buying a Berkey too. Thanks for the video.

[@honeypie2555]

Thanks. Good info. We have an extensive filtering system for our well that is removing all minerals and vitamins, so I will take your advice in adding back some minerals.

[@larrybell4599]

May God bless you and your family. 🙏

[@haroldrobinson6331]

I have a Vevor. Mine don't have the timer but it is digital. Works great! I got it when the train wreck happened in Ohio.

[@ntxg]

Good idea! Keep it running brother!

[@billk9628]

I have the same model, and it works very well. Probably 200 gallons of water run through it to date and I just use vinigar and a blue scotchbrite pad to clean the lime scale out after about 5 gallons or so. Takes about 3 hours per gallon. It also works well for distilling Alcohol. I used to make home made wine, and when you make it, once in a while you get a batch that doesn't taste good, so you distill it into whisky! But, if you buy the cheepest rotgut from the store and run it through and redistill it, you get out all the bad flavors and increase the proof in the process. I got to 190 proof in some mof my batches and WOOO WHOOO, powerful stuff. All good things to know how to do and make incase the wporld does take the big turd someday. Bartering is better than cash, and clean water and alcohol are worth there weight in gold during the end of the world! 😉😇🍸

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Hi Jill this is great. We use distilled water to rinse our sinuses because of the central Texas allergies. I'm going to get one for Mike and I, Blessings Rochelle

[@stardust949]

I've got a Megahome distiller---the glass container is a gallon and a half (I believe). I've used it intermittently---have put up bottles of the distilled water just to have on hand. Lately, for the past month, I've really felt a need to cleanse my body as much as possible and have been using it for drinking and cooking. I love mine! I purchased a gravity water filter too, a Berkey, in the event of prolonged power outages and unsafe water. Have never unpacked it---I just feel better knowing we have one.

[@hollyh9334]

My sister up north bought one--loves it. Now I'm going to get one to distill water for sinus rinse.

[@ntxg]

That’s my main reason as well sister!

[@WinkTartanBelle]

We use a reverse osmosis unit for our daily drinking water, but I have been wanting to get something for distilling water. Mostly for use when I am making herbal remedies and wine. I routinely add jars of RO water to any canning loads I have room in, just to keep sterile water on hand for medical uses. You never know when you'll need it. Going to talk to Hubs about getting one of the distillers, because I trust your opinion of it. Thanks for sharing! Hugs.

Wow, just got mine and am dying to use it. Tired of paying for distilled water that has gotten so expensive Post Pandemic, I need it for Humidifiers, Steam Mop, and will use it my Neti Pot as well. I am going to boil my fill water first, to see if I can cut the time down. Subscribed and a big Howdy from the Pacific North West

[@connierodenburg129]

Good Morning. Just found your channel. Thank you for the video. Very thorough. Would you share the link of which vitamins and minerals you use and where they can be purchased? Also, how do you store the distilled water and how long can it be stored? Thank You!

[@ntxg]

Good morning Connie. Thank you so much for watching us. I get our supplements from Eidon minerals. Are use the magnesium, potassium, zinc, iodine, selenium, or anything else I feel like I need at the time I need them so you’ll need to evaluate and see what minerals you my need. Of course the zinc is something we take daily. The magnesium is good for sleep and migraines.

[@deborahpotts3437]

I just made my purchase. Buying distilled water is getting expensive (and that's if you can find it). I use it for my humidifier (1 gallon per day), iron, coffee maker, steam mop and watering orchids and other sensitive plants. This will pay for itself in a couple of months. Can't believe I hadn't thought to do this sooner. I'm not clear on how you leave some water to keep it from having deposits in the bottom. Program it to stop sooner? Thanks for the video.

[@simplydegen]

Thanks very much what would be the perfect temperature setting for distilled water 💧 thanks

[@DrDennis]

Some say you can’t pour out of the carafe without water dribbling everywhere?

[@margolucas3793]

I wondered if you could taste a difference before & after? Sad that we have to filter out fluorine & chlorine, then add good minerals & electrolytes ourselves. 🙁

It did and smelled like rain water. It was very crisp

[@alamryfarms754]

So we have this and love it. I’m now out of the cleaner they sent. I couldn’t find more on the vector site. I looked on Amazon and it’s kinda pricy. But thinking its just citric acid. Any experience with that? I saw another video where he just used white vinegar. Thoughts?

I didn't use it. The TDS is 1, which is good.

[@sweetbeep]

​@@user-mifasonI think everyones water is different tho.

[@MRTOMBO]

What's the purpose of the carbon filter pad when that's steam/distilled water coming through it?

[@ntxg]

I guess to get the impurities out further maybe if you have calcification in your water

[@MRTOMBO]

@@ntxg I don't think so, unless I've mistaken where that filter pad is placed in the process. What I thought I saw was the filer pad being placed in the spigot at the EXIT side of the steam distillation process. That means 100% of all minerals have already been left behind.

[@sweetbeep]

It's to remove the VOCs that have a boiling point under 100° C, like chlorine

[@MRTOMBO]

@@sweetbeep Ah. Ok. To catch chemicals that may vaporize and travel with the steam. That makes sense.

[@sweetbeep]

@@MRTOMBO right. I think I even saw the VEVOR channel itself say it's just for taste, but that is wrong. And there is so much miscommunication and misunderstanding going around on all channels about the carbon filter. I wish it was clear and straightforward.

[@david7101]

@@IHGChickhi great vid thanks, how’s the machine going now?

[@IHGChick]

I was disappointed because I thought you were going to go into some detail about how to set time and temperature as that's the thing that is NOT covered in the instructions that come with the unit. What does come in the instructions is to wash the unit properly and to do a 20 minute run with 1 liter of water and 2 tbsp of the citric acid crystals (dissolved) then rinse with clean water to make sure your unit is clean before distilling your first batch. As an aside: You should be drinking distilled water because practically all water (in the US anyway) has chlorine and fluoride added. Fluoride is a NEUROTOXIN (brain poison) and you should not be putting it into your body! Stop using fluoride toothpaste! If you brush your teeth with xylitol toothpaste, use xylitol gum and xylitol pastiches you will not have cavities. There are natural bacteria in your mouth that kill the bacteria (fed by sugar among other things) that create cavities - that natural bacteria defense is killed by fluoride - that's why dentists recommend it! More clients for them....

[@ntxg]

We agree

[@reneenoyes8315]

I want to drink it. I am hoping not to be able to taste anything. I need to drink 8 glasses min a day.

You won't taste anything.

I sterilize my water and it's silly thing called a teapot 🤕🫖

[@GeorgiasGarden]

It may sterilize but that doesn’t remove calcium deposits that stop our coffee makers, irons and can’t use in teapot. North Texas has the hardest water of any place we have ever lived and that’s saying something as we are retired military and have lived all over the world.
