Distiller tips:
1] Pre filter water through activated charcoal, don't post filter it.
2] don't fill it up all the way to prevent tube fouling overboil.
3] discard the first cup that comes out to eliminate any volatiles the carbon filter missed.

If that doesn't do it, repeat #2 and #3.
If THAT doesn't do it, get better source water.

Distillers need frequent cleaning of the condenser tubes.
If they are aluminum, don't use any basic solutions [lye, for instance ]
CLR should be OK, or Hydrochloric/ Muriatic or Phosphoric acid.

Hi, Bob. I bought a Love unit, and I have not been able to get water from it better than 5.6 uS on a COM-100 tester. My SilverGen says "no thanks" and will not run. I tried to cut down the speed with a Variac and still got 5.6. I also tried 1/2 gal. after your last post and got 5.6. When I called in the guy said I could ship it back and if it "distilled water" they would ship it back. No thanks.

Any suggestions would be appreciated before I trash the thing.

I have a Love unit, I do not fill it past 3 quarts it seems to a better product this way (at least on mine). I stock piled some distilled water (with Cs in it) it keeps better just in case water goes out. If I made a still it would not be for water, just kidding because I can count the drinks I have each year with digits left from toes and fingers. I could make on for car fuel but it is a lot of work unless you have the raw material
and go solar.
