    Thanks for putting me on game! I had a hunch that these things may exist and your vid was the first thing that popped up in my conquest lol. Also, I agree that getting minerals from our food is amazing because they come in very bio-available forms and it's less hassle doing extra things. The problem is that while plants can make vitamins and phytonutrients, they CANNOT make minerals. All the mineral content of a plant comes straight from the soil. If we're getting our produced from over-farmed land in the USA, we will not be getting enough minerals. This is why magnesium and boron deficiencies are being documented and why supplementation with minerals is highly effective. Mineral deficiencies mimic mental disorders and illnesses. No wonder why so many kids are being diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and so many adults with anxiety and depression. 80% of the population is on pharmaceuticals for mental health...The people throwing pink salt & celtic salt in their water are smart! People high dosing magnesium are getting tremendous benefits! People taking seamoss & shilajit are a cut above average with overall health and well-being. Our bodies are not made of water, they're made of electrolyte fluid. This is not some woke shit. Get up on the science. Water cant do anything if it can't get in and out of our cells. One of the main systems of energy in our bodies is the sodium-potassium pump. Try fasting with distilled water and then try it with pink salt and magnesium...Night and day difference with how you feel and how effortless the fast is. Love 🙏

    You're doing it wrong with the "megahome". You shouldn't be unplugging and re-plugging it constantly - the connection plugs will get bent out of shape eventually and then you'll have to wiggle them over and over to get it to connect, and then one day it'll be barely electrically connected, and it'll overheat and melt the plastic. What you do is use the empty distilled water container (or any other container) - fill that up with tap water, and then take that over and pour it into the distiller. Avoid unplugging/plugging in the distiller too much - it will fail at the plug terminals guaranteed.

    Use citric (edit from ascorbic) acid to clean your distiller. It's inexpensive, safe, works spectacularly well, and makes your MegaHome look nearly new again. And you just have to put a few tablespoons in, turn your distiller on (without the lid), let it boil for 20 minutes, and then wipe it down & rinse. :)

    After YEARS of research and buying bottled, I went with a knockoff of the Megahome called DC House for $75 on amazon and couldn't be happier. You're right--you get used to the process and whenever I'm doing it, I remind myself that it's better than lugging gallon jugs into my cart, onto the checkout, into my car, and then into storage. The taste is great too--much better than distilled water in a plastic container which is what I thought it was going to taste like. 👍

    I purchased the mini classic about 12 years ago and its still running strong but I did have to service it with new gasket and plug on the tank which cost about $60. I also noticed the reduced water production after about 5 years of running non stop and found out it was the timer and just give the timer a small turn back to get that 3/4 gallon mark. the mini is a better made machine then the megahome for all out quality materials used in the coil and the voc port but for the price the megahome is a solid distiller.
    p.s my distiller is in the garage so noise hasn't been an issue.

      @@yurineskowich998 I haven't tested the boiling time of the distiller since I bought it but from memory (don't quote me) when I filled it to full capacity (4 litres) it was taking roughly 45 minutes to see the first drops coming out - dependant on the outdoor temperature and how cold the water was to start with.
      Using my Igenix catering kettle I can boil that amount in around 11 minutes and within another 5 minutes I'm seeing the first drops emerge from the distiller. So probably around a half hour saving overall.
      A good tip in autumn / winter is to refill the kettle again after you use it so that the cold water warms up closer to ambient room temperature which shaves a few minutes off boiling time.

    but after 8 months it broke (bought it used) wasnt too bad overall tho
    however a tipp: dont use it over night: the moisture + the heat from cooking the water trapped inside will pretty much inevitably make it rust (even if its stainless steel) - rather open it and let the warmth escape shortly after it finishes operating. also use a cloth with distilled vinegar, it will get rid of the mud/calcium deposits (if u dont do it every time or every second time it will become very hard to get rid of once its caked on thiccly)

    I thought about buying the Mini Classic but decided to go with the Steam Pure PD model. It has a larger footprint but I thought the electrical plug on the back of the Mini would eventually wear out. The Steam Pure does distill nearly 4 liters of water leaving about a liter behind in the bottom. There is a valve on the bottom that lets you drain it out into a pot or bucket but I only drain it once a week. I think they have it that way to keep the heating element from burning up. About every 3 months I clean it with citric acid and about a liter of water. The mineral scale just melts away. It is a very simple and easy unit to use if you have a bit of extra room.

    just for your consideration...Removal of organic compounds by distillation can vary depending on chemical properties of the contaminant. Certain pesticides, volatile solvents, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as benzene and toluene, with boiling points close to or below that of water will vaporize along with the water as it is boiled in the distiller. Such compounds will not be completely removed unless another process is used prior to condensation...sooooooooooooooo :)

    Might be hard with your setup so high, but I found getting a gallon pitcher and filling that up and then just dumping into the megahome is much easier, because then you can just hold the lid with your other hand while your pour instead of disconnecting everything. And then just clean/rinse it out every so often. But I've let mine get pretty dirty/full of sediment inside and it still produces pure clean water every time.

    Great video with the differences between the distillers. Many other brands tend to have a similar build with just a different brand. I’m wondering what the build quality would look like if not differ in any way.

    Mini Classic II I've had for years. I don't recommend it especially if you live in Canada. It's crazy expensive to fix and yes it needs fixing regularly. None of the parts are standard, not the rubber gaskets, not the screws, so you have to order everything from the US. The rubber gasket at the back always "disappears" and I assume ends up in the water (and ridiculously expensive for them to mail you 3 tiny rubber gaskets, don't recall now but something like $50-75 USD, I mean ridiculous). The fan stopped working for a while and then magically started again thankfully. The element had to be replaced because it started leaking after a year in a half. It arrived stained from their water test. (If I remember correctly, vegetable oil took it off). Vinegar works great to clean the inside, you don't need buy what they want to sell you. After a while you'll have to oil the rubber gasket to get the two pieces to connect and of course they want you to buy that lubricant from them. The filters you buy afterwards never made the water taste as good as the original filter that came with the unit, but the water is clean enough you can do without the filters. If you replace the rubber gasket, you'll get it to make the right amount of water until it "disappears" (dissolves) again. Uncomfortably loud unless you have another room to put it into. Do I sound frustrated?? Thank you for the tip for what to replace it with if I want to keep distilling, not sure I will. Didn't notice any health improvement from distilling, and I wonder if it's wise to have green juices regularly if one drinks distilled water, and I like the taste of non-distilled water more than distilled water. However I met someone who has drank distilled for decades and looks healthy.

    I’m sorry you got ripped off with a second hand Mini Classic (Pure Water Mini Classic CT from Lincoln Nebraska?) Would you imagine, I bought one on your recommendation after watching the video you made a couple of months back. I bought it new though and haven’t had any problems so far. That’s why I was thinking maybe the rattling came from the round tank cover inside, someone recommended I start buying some spare parts just in case, a lot of pressure builds up from water vapor of course and wear and tear will occur eventually I’m sure. Also, did you know city waterworks don’t fluoridate the water in the Province of Quebec? I think we’re the only province in Canada that doesn’t. Anyway, I always enjoy your videos as you know, I love the new format of filming outside and doing "the cinema" I think you’re becoming funnier every day! May the cinema be yours, Veggie Police! ✌😄

      Yes, I've seen those. Quite expensive, starts around $3k for a floor stand like the Absopure. But then I was wondering if it pulls water from the air to make it, wherever you put it would have to be clean air. Home air is dirtier than outside air. And don't forget the VOCs in the wall paint, off putting gases from furniture and carpet and any cleaning products used at the time. Too many variables to ensure if I was making clean water.

    There is Waterlover's distiller. Some people are very positive about that product. I think it has a 2.8 liter jug, no plastic in the drip circuit. Also has a auto stop feature to prevent scale buildup.
    I suggest using some sort of a time with megahome to make sure some water is left in the end.

    • @wnehpets1
      @wnehpets1 8 месяцев назад +1

      I have a Waterlovers distiller... the MKII. I really like the glass pitcher it comes with. I have had it for about 2.5 years and use it on average once a day. Unfortunately, I have started having an issue with the water not going entirely to the pitcher, and about half of it ending up under the unit. Taking a close look at the unit, I found that the area where the water comes out just above the carbon filter holder, the plastic housing has cracked from the heat of the steam. So, some of the water ends up in the pitcher and the rest somehow follows the cracks and makes a mess. The exit point of the water is even with the plastic. In my mind, this is a design flaw as this should extend below the plastic. Oh well... the reason I am here today is I need to replace the unit and am looking for an alternative, longer lasting unit.

    • @mkeyx82
      @mkeyx82 8 месяцев назад

      @@wnehpets1 That's unfortunate.
      Mega home has a version of the distiller that has no plastic in the conduit. Stainless steel all the way up to a ceramic housing for the filter and finally the glass pitcher to hold the distilled water. I am loving it and I can recommend.
      The only downside is the lack of a timer. The unit does stop on its own, but it almost always goes to no water left inside, exacerbating the scale buildup.
      I use a simple mechanical timer socket to get around this problem and to schedule the process during the night hours. Then I don't mind the noise and it's half the electricity cost - win win.
      OK, another minor downside is that you have to make sure the pitcher is aligned properly or there's gonna be a mess in the morning - the worst time for a mess.

      @@mkeyx82 Thanks for the information. Earlier today I disassembled the machine thinking I could use food grade silicone to seal up the cracks. I then realized that part of what was broken included two plastic hold-down screw posts that held a small funnel type piece in place. With the funnel out of position, some water would make it to the pitcher and the rest would not. Working with super glue and baking soda, I was able to reset the posts and and reinforce the cracked plastic. The unit is working as expected now. Only time will tell how well the repair holds up though.

    I appreciate your information on spring water because I considered going that route.
    I have 2 Megahome distillers and always have one going and one soaking in water with vinegar to be able to rinse and switch to make a new batch of distilled water. I fill it half way with tapwater and I dump vinegar in the tank and let it sit overnight and then I can just dump it into the other container that’s done, so I always have one soaking and one clean ready to go.
    Also, I’ve been wondering if it’s doing me any good to be adding liquid trace minerals to the water I drink and you kind of clarified that for me. I do have a healthy diet so I’m sure I’m getting minerals from my food as well. I don’t eat fast food or restaurant food. I prepare my meals at home and it’s healthy fresh ingredients.
    I have four large breed ragdoll cats and keep their large glass fountain full everyday too. I make all of my own drinks, popsicles from my garden and fruits from my yard.
    I also use it to make lemonade, tea, cold brew coffee, & fruit drinks. I only use distilled water so I go through a lot that’s why I have to have so much clean water.
    I just put in an order on Amazon tonight for the heavy duty stainless steel one because one of mine is getting a little bit of rust on it on the outside.
    I love my mega home distillers. I considered the mini classic, but I just don’t have enough room on my counter for it so that was the dealbreaker for me.
    Also after I seen what was left in the tank and and how its filled I wouldn’t want to deal with trying to clean the water left behind. I have very hard water in my house and it seems like that would be more work to clean and refill.
    I am 52 and my coworkers thought I was in my early 30’s. I believe it’s the clean water and clean eating that makes people think I’m younger.

    Quick idea for a robust and silent distiller:
    2L flat bottom boiling flask, condenser and a 2L receiver.
    Use a vacuum pump to reduce pressure to the point where it practically boils at room temp.
    By introducing a small amount of heat, like slightly above ambient, the whole lot should distill. And it never breaks.
    Total cost, perhaps $250. Low energy once vacuum is pulled.

    I really don't like how small the intercooler and fans are. All these distillers have to do is use a larger intercooler and a large house hold fan. If they want to get fancy, make one with a Dyson fan. The bigger the fan the more silent.
    The other problem is a ton of deposits that needs to be cleaned out.
    I just use the Zero Water filter system for now, no power or noise and water measures 0 particles.

    After much research I got a Megahome, thinking it was gonna be the bees knees. I was making about 3 gallons sometimes 4 in 24 hours the first couple months filling up some 5 gallon jugs for my plant room and for my humidifiers in my plant room. Then I keep a glass gallon upstairs and one downstairs for drinking.
    Anyway, after two months, my Megahome started getting a crack at the bottom of the pot. Before that the white silicone gasket around the fan lid became disheveled and was starting to cause rust around it. So I was disillusioned two things going wrong in two months. So they covered it under warranty but I wasn’t gonna be able to use my Megahome Distiller with a crack in it so while I had to wait for them to do their thing to get it fixed under warranty, I went on Amazon about the cheapest Distiller I could find it was $89 from VO. Guess what? I like that son of a bitch better!!! it is a 750 W so it will distill a gallon in 3 1/2 hours which is a plus. My Megahome takes 5 1/2 hours. Both of them are on timers. I don’t wanna let them run dry.
    Either way, distilling water has been my way of life since February. I was buying it at the grocery store but what a pain in the butt to buy it to drink cook with plant room humidifiers even giving a couple gallons a week to my daughter from my grandsons, humidifier, and sterilizer. So I’ve decided I’m just going to get the cheapest one. I just replace it as needed because the Megahome let me down.
