Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My sister has had this machine for about 4 years now. She just had to order new guts for it (about $60) after making at least 3 gallons of distilled water every day, for all this time. That's a pretty good track record! It convinced me to purchase one for my husband and I. We had been purchasing our distilled water in plastic containers and I DID NOT like the idea of drinking plastic contaminants. I use distilled water for my tea kettle, iron, steam machine, cooking,drinking, and for adding to my Nutrasilver, fulvic acid, iodine, homeopathic remedies, and much more. We make 2-4 gallons per day. I love it! We placed this machine on 2 wooden blocks so we could open the door and placed it on top of a red, 3 shelf steel service cart (item #6650) from Harbor Freight for $49.99. It works perfectly and I have room to store 16 glass gallon jars on the 2 shelves underneath. I purchased extra gallon glass containers with the plastic carry lids from freshwater systems(dot)com. MUCH CHEAPER!. They have a 4 pack for $23.16 (item # GL01WMF-POUR)! Free S&H for orders over $89. I make about 2-4 gallons per day and try to store extras. My sister recommended that I clean the steel pitcher about once a month with hot white vinegar. We heat up a gallon of white vinegar, pour it into the pitcher, place the lid on, and let it sit overnight. I live in an area where we are on well water. We get a high amount of calcium build up on faucets and in our distilling pitcher. The vinegar soaking and a little scrubbing gets most of this build up off. My only complaint is that the coils at the bottom of the pitcher are difficult to get completely clean. I love the idea that the water this machine produces is pure and clean. Please listen to vidalspeaks(dot)com. There is an excellent podcast to listen to from MAY 26, 2016, entitled, "Dr. Brian Clement-Water: Liquid Life Food; What kind? How much? What should I know about it?" VERY informative. Deborah Vidal, a Los Angeles homeopath and graduate of Cornell University's Plant Based Nutritional Program, does a fantastic interview with Dr. Brian Clement. This is what persuaded me to invest in this machine. Please scroll down to the very bottom of her home page and please order it through her referral link to shop at Amazon.com. This way you not only get free shipping but it helps her out a bit too for all the hard work she does to keep us informed on good health practices. I figure that at $599 + free S&H from Amazon, that I will have my investment paid off within 6-7 months of making about 3 gallons of distilled water a day. If I bought 3 gallons a day, at a cost of .88 cents per gallon at Walmart, it would cost me $963.60 per year, but I would still be getting plastic contaminants in my water. All I can think of is what a great investment this machine is in the long run for our health, and the wear and tear of my machines that require it.
