Yes and that means that I use 1.5 gallons of water and it yeilds only .5 gallons after 6-8 hours of distilling.
I distilled first batch last night it read 2.8 while still warm however it read .7 this morning after it cooled and sat a while. I will continue to test the batches as they come out and as the distiller gets older it might change. I am on a water system which is not potable. (like being in a cottage) All of our drinking/cooking water is bought so it becomes quite a waste when I start tossing out a gallon of water each time. If it was just coming out of the tap I probably would not mind as much. 1.5 gallons of water and 6-8 hours power for 1/2 gallon also seem like a lot of waste. However I do understand that making the CS is what comes out cheaper in the end no matter what I do. :) I just dont understand how the temperature would make such a difference in the reading. 2.8 down to .7 is quite a difference. The PWT is suppose to take temp into consideration. Beth > This is on our site. > > Trem > > 1. Remove the carbon discharge filter. > It makes the water conductive. > > 2.
