Hi Harold, We had a couple of customers with the same problem. It turned out the problem was the distiller wasn't working properly and some of the minerals came over the helm with the condensate. Do you have a PWT meter? If so, what's the uS reading? That will help you determine if the water is mineralized. It should be under 2.0 uS.
Minerals in the water will make the CS cloudy. Another possible situation is where the condenser is contaminated from the factory. In that case just run a gallon of water through the distiller and it will clean the condenser. And of course, never use the carbon after-filter provided with some distillers. Hope this helps.
