Thanks for that tip, David. that's one reason I'm not that crazy about those
charcoal filters, ya never know if they're really doing their job. It seems
to be the exact distiller as the one for $99... I saw that as well... paying
double is quite normal, but then I'd have to use a transformer for the 110V,
which I'm honestly no great fan of. Those transformers hum too loudly for my
liking and I imagine they suck more energy than needed just to keep the
transformer going.
And yes, it is quite tough living in another world... sometimes its like
living in the twilight zone..... I just remind myself, that there's a reason
for everything, I'm just still waiting to figure out what that reason may
be...
Should I really try using rainwater? I'm a bit skeptical about that, but
sometimes I wonder which water to be cleaner, the tap or the rainwater...
that's a tough one for me. If I had some direct way to test the waters to be
sure, that would certainly ease my mind... Should I risk it? What's the
worse that cold happen?
Often enough times I wished I was already a scientist with access to many
facilities, just so that I can do my own testing and research.
