Distilled vs RO

[mark]

How's the distiller made (copper tubing?) and who's paying the power bill?

sorry to kind of thread jack but I only have one of those tap water purifier de-ionization filter things. and i was just wondering if that was good enough by itself. and i also have an ro unit but its nit ro/di so would that be better than the purifier thing?

Distillers don?t do a good job with volatile chemicals with a low boiling point. Chloramines, for example, which many cities now use instead of chlorine as a disinfectant, aren't removed well by distillers. Reverse osmosis, with the carbon filters that accompany it, does a very good job with chloramines.

Tab water with deionization is better than tap water but not as good as R.O. with deionization

You can put your R.O. water through your ionizaton unit.
