Description:Distillation effectively removes contaminants such as bacteria, particles, dissolved solids and VOCs. Ordinary tap water is heated to 212°F, (100°C) killing bacteria, cysts and viruses that may be present. Steam rises leaving behind dissolved solids, salts, heavy metals and other substances.
The Winner Of Best Countertop Water DistillerWhy it's best: Distilling water is the safest way to remove bacteria and other impurities. Countertop water distillers boil water and condense the steam, so they're fairly slow and energy-intensive, but they work well. The Waterwise 4000 Water Steam Distiller with Glass Jug does the same fine job as the top rated MegaHome Countertop Water Distiller.
It has similar sturdy steel construction, and a similar profile and design. Both have a fan noise that is bothersome to noise-sensitive users. The big difference is that the Waterwise costs $100 more.
