Re: CS>water distiller question

[Ode Coyote]

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 boil the water would be better too..like a solar 
still [free energy] or vacuum still.



Ode


Yep we do. I think Dee's like me. I pay a flat rate by direct debit 
monthly. For this I get a slightly cheaper rate but it's still metered and 
at least once a year the monthly amount is adjusted depending on how much 
I've been using.

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 for free... everything seems to have its price :-(

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 68 cents a gallon sometimes.

Company sells you electricity by the kilowatt; the average kilowatt cost is
about 8-10 cents. Since the distiller will use three kilowatt hours to make
a gallon of water the cost is about 24 cents per gallon. That's a whole lot
cheaper than bottled water.

So you buy a better one, same thing happens and so on.

it takes about 3 kilowatt hours to make a gallon of distilled water. A kilowatt

Unfortunately rain water can pick up a lot of trash on the way down.  It

pollution, then it can absorb SO3 making sulfuric acid (acid rain), as 
well as dust, pollen and other airborne particulate matter.  If there is 
lightning, then it will absorb the oxides of nitrogen producing nitric 
and nitrous acids.  If you are going to use rainwater, then it is best 
to wait until it has rained a while, so the particulate and pollution 
will be washed out of the air, and try to do with when the rain is 
heavy, but there is little or no lightning.  Then boil it to remove the CO2.

Why do irons need distilled water. I've never used it in mine.

If you use regular water, when it produces steam, the minerals get left 
behind, and will clog it up. Even worse, the minerals often have brown 
stain in them, from rust or sediment, which can sometimes break loose, 
and stain the garment you are ironing.

We have extremely soft water here in Scotland, there's never any mineral
build up or scale in anything.

Nothing, we just have to put in water softening things like Calgon or  
soda crystals, because I live in the south and it is hard water here.

Oh you can buy that in the car shop, but it is not supposed to be good  
enough for CS - at least that is what I was told.  Also, you only get  
a litre at a time and that is a couple of pound at least, so would  
probably work out nearly as much. dee

Yeah, you just have to try it and see how it works.
You can't even go by brand because they use local regional distillers.

Hi Helen,

It looks like this post was not seen the first time. Questions:  What kind of 
distiller do you have?  Rust in the bottom is not a good sign, as you  have 
noted. Have you checked the conductivity of the water with a meter at all?

I do not have one, but remember some posts about a Love water distiller? I am a 
little fuzzy on it. Maybe someone else will chime in here.
