Use goes like this: put the water in the chamber, put the lid on. Plug the machine, and arrange the glass bottle under the nozzle. You just push the button and the gadget does everything else. The water will go through the process and flow into the container.

How does distillation work?

Let’s get over the basics of distillation, although this process has been around for quite some time and it should be considered easy to understand. All you do is you have boiling water which turns into steam. The temperatures kill bacteria, viruses, and other organic compounds. 

When the steam goes back to its „water state“, the heavy metals, the minerals, and other harmful things stay in solid form and they end up being left behind as residue. The water you’re drinking is now free from all of the harmful things!

Maintenance

For a gadget like this, it’s very important that you take care of it and clean it on the inside, in order to remove all the residue that may be left because the water is switching states often. 

You have to replace the filter every 30 gallons, which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on how you use the filter. If you use is often, you’re going to have to replace the filters quite often. The math is simple so you can do it yourself.

The initial setup doesn’t last any longer than 10 minutes, but it’s recommended to flush the device a few times before you end up using it.

Pros:

• quiet and efficient
• removes lead and fluoride
• affordable gadget and filters
• turns off when the chamber is empty
• leaves all your important minerals behind

Cons:

• not much capacity
• creates heat
• can be annoying to replace the filter so often

Summary

However, it’s not the device to stick to if you want something that will be able to filter a big capacity quickly. You’ll have to replace the filters as well, but their price point justifies that!
