Hello All, Just lurking/observing... want to make coment about 80% nickel.... that should be no problem as long as the distilled water/heated water is not taking any nickel or what ever is toxic into the final distilled process. That is why we speak favorably of distilling... to hope any un-desirables are left behind... that the distilled is not also distilling into that end product chemicals that are condensed at near the same temperature as water.... now in that case you might be getting a greater concentration of the original contaminant(s) you were trying to avoid. I think consumer reports years ago mentioned that if the heat/condesing/cooling temperature were to broad that this could happen. Just thoughts... thanks mike slivinski
