I tried the SEARS water distiller, but the water did NOT taste very
good--sort of "burntish".  I tried adding Microhydrin to make it more like
Hunza water, but the "burnt taste" was still there.  Drinking burnt water
doesn't appeal to me very much.

Do any of you know how to "clean up the taste" of this water?  

Also, the pot seems to be made of aluminum like Daemon mentioned, and I
noticed that although the aluminum content went down in the distilled
water, it did not go down as drastically as the other metals did.

P.S.  My school dumped my mail, so please re-send if you emailed me
anything between:
 
        July 1 to July 7
        July 18 to 20                 Thank you!
