Hi Dorothy, I can't see how filtering the water before distilling would cause trouble. But cleaning or wiping after the batch could contaminatet the next batch.
OK just looked at http://stores.vitality4life.co.uk and the one they hshow has a post -treatment carbon filter which could be the culprit. See if removing the filter makes a difference, OK, Tony On 16 Nov 2009 at 17:18, Dorothy Fitzpatrick wrote about : Subject : Re: CS>tyndall again > Hi Tony, I just wiped it out with a cloth and then paper towel after I > finished distilling, because I thought that the steam would not be > contaminated.
