You are on the averaged billing plan then...it's not a flat rate and the 3 KW to distil a gallon of water is like 30 cents or so. Tel points out maintenances issues, but using charcoal filtered rain water as the source water should alleviate that to a great degree. A distiller that doesn't

yes, but we pay by direct debit in advance, so if the bill is more, you have to pay extra. This is just a way of spreading the cost. I try and keep mine to a minimum but even so, it still costs a lot I feel. Maybe other countries pay more than this, but I will be surprised if they do,

We also pay by direct debit here in Germany. They base it on previous months usuage. If you end up using less at the end of the year, you get money back, and if you use up more, then you pay the difference, and your monthly debit payments will be adjusted to the new usuage amounts. You get nothing
