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.
