Susan - A few questions;
1) How much did you pay for that Polar Bear and where exactly did you get it? I wasn't aware that they sold "used" distillers. 2) That's very interesting about the coffee filter bringing the PPM to 000... exactly what brand of coffee filters are you using and have you done repeat testing on this? It *seems* that impurities/particles in the filters would actually *add* to the PPM! 3) Where did you get 1-gallon GLASS jugs from? Dameon _________________________ Hi, I purchased a used Polar Bear Distiller from the Polar Bear Co. in Nebraska. It works just fine. The final step has the condensed distilled water go down a clear tube connected to a stainless steel cylinder which contains acitvated charcoal and then on into the container. The water tastes good and is .001 on the TDS unless I pour it through a non bleached coffee filter and then in registers 000. When I first got it I had to run it on the sterilize cycle. I clean it by boiling vinegar in the boiling chamber. There was something that for me I couldn't have because of my chemical sensitivities in the Sears, but I can't remember now what that was. It sound as if some component is out-gassing and until it is through, perhaps the charcoal would help you. It is a good idea anyway to "finish it off". Another thing is how many gallons have you made with it? I have 2-5gallon jugs I fill and then 5 -1 gal jugs that are glass. Perhaps if you just put it somewhere and ran it a while it would finish getting broken in. Life is Fragile.
