Congratulations on getting a distiller! I still buy all mine. The money I've spent could have bought me several by now, I'm sure. <LOL> > Do you think dropping to 3 qts will rectify this situation or should I > remove the carbon filter at the spout? Members with experience have consistenly recommended removing the charcoal post-filter. It will likely add some impurities back into the water. Not unhealthy for drinking purposes, probably, but disruptive to your process. Not filling the resevoir all the way is another suggestion that has been offered many times. It will keep boiling water from splashing on the condensing surfaces and becoming entrained in the condensate as it flows out of the unit. Sounds like you've already hit the major steps, both of which are probably appropriate. Let us know what you get. Also, don't hesitate to re-distill the other batches, too. It'd be interesting to see what kind of numbers you get. Be well, Mike D.
