Dee, >From what I remember, you have a new distiller and you are pre-boiling the water before you put it in the distiller. Assuming this is correct, you are getting contamination after distillation. It could be from something on the walls of your receptacle container, something being picked up from the air or something in the condensing coil. My guess is that there may be some residue in the condensing coil left over from the manufacturing processes and that the contamination will go away with time and use. Or you may be able to find a way to clean the coil.
