<< I like Bruce's units very much. He has been very helpful in trying to solve the low yield problem, but we are both stumped. I trust his data. I think the problem lies with my water, which is Santa Fe city water through a RO and a Still, with Carbon for the light organics. >> James, how high are the cones that you are pulling? I tried several different brands of distilled water up here in Toronto locally. There is only one brand that consistently allows me to pull cones about 3/8" to 1/2" from the surface. (Crystal Springs) They measure their dissolved solids by something called microsiemens, whatever they are, (don't know) and they say theirs is less than 12, and usually about 7. A local fellow has tried using his distiller, pre and post filtering with carbon, then double distilling and triple distilling but he hasn't yet been able to do any better than the off brands of distilled that I buy which only pull cones 1/16" to 1/8" high. I think Bruce has consistently said that the quality of the water you start with sure makes a big difference. I could probably ship 4 liters of the stuff to you for you to try out and a pint of the product for you to test if you want. I'd be interested in knowing how you make out with it.
