5. Heating Element and Boiler Cleanliness

As the water distiller removes impurities some of the impurities may cling to the

boiler tank and the heating element. Any of this scale may build up around the

heating element and actually insulate it, which will drastically decrease the

thermal efficiency of the heating element and require more time/energy to boil

water, which will decrease the water production.

6. Altitude

The water distiller is rated at the altitude of the manufacturer, which is

approximately 675 m (2214 ft) above sea level. Locations lower than this (closer

to sea level) will have reduced water production due to the higher boiling point of

water at higher atmospheric pressures at lower altitudes.

7. Operating Time, Warm-up Period & Suitable Storage

When checking the water distiller production, the start time should be when the

first few drops of water have entered the charcoal filter canister. Do not start

timing when the distiller turns on as it takes a few minutes for the heating

element, boiler tank and water to heat up. The distiller production rating does

NOT account for this time, but rather the continuous production after the distiller

is up to temperature. Ensure when checking production that you have suitable

water storage for holding the amount of water that will be produced.

8. Manual Fill Boiling Tank Fill Level

When checking the water distillation production on manual fill water distillers, the

amount of water initially poured into the boiling tank will affect the production.

Water should be filled to the water level pin so that once the water is hot the

maximum amount of water can be distilled without having to heat up and refill.

Under-filling the boiler will decrease the amount of water distilled. Again, the

warm-up time should not be included in the production rate.
