The Water Distiller’s FAQ
Does my water distiller come with a jug?
Yes, all of our water distillers come with a 4L collecting jug. The Imber Isla has a glass jug, the Imber Puro has the PVC jug.
In addition to that there is a 3 months supply of activated charcoal, and cleaning crystals.
How long does it take to distill 4 litres of water?
An Imber Distiller takes 3 hours and 20 minutes to distill 4 litres of water. It is the fastest water distiller around.
What’s included in the box?
- Your Imber Water Distiller of choice
- UK 3 pin Power cable
- Water jug – Glass or PVC depending on water distiller model
- A bottle cap + discharge cap
- Nozzle (already fitted)
- Cleaning crystals
- Carbon filter bags (to fit inside nozzle)
- Instruction manual
What are the running costs?
This largely depends on what you pay for electricity. 100% off-the-grid solar consumers will pay nothing other than the cost of an occasional replacement of the carbon filter, and the low-cost cleaning powder.
Most people connected to the grid, on average, would expect to pay around 9 pence in electricity per litre of distilled water.
Can I distill water while I’m out of the house, or over night?
You can’t… but your distiller can do it for you.
Imber Water Distillers are quite happy to do the distilling while you are out of the house, asleep, doing a solid 3 hour yoga session… Once a distiller is running, it does not require any attention from its owner, and will switch off once the cycle is complete… just make sure your jug is in place before you set it going (or you’ll make angry downstairs neighbours).
What is a water distiller?
A water distiller is a relatively simple home appliance which warms up a tank of water to boiling point, collects and channels the steam through an air cooled pipe which condenses the steam back into water and collects it into a 4 liter jug: VOILÁ! You now have 99.9% pure water.
Our water distillers are small enough to fit on your kitchen counter top or on a small table, they are light, so you can put them away and take them out without strain when you need them.
It will turn itself off once a distillation cycle is over, so you can run them at night. They require close to no maintenance, and don’t require expensive cartridges or filters to produce the purest water.
Oh, and they naturally humidify and heat the room they’re in, so you can walk into a warm kitchen the morning after, without needing your central heating on! (not a joke)
What is distilled water?
In a nutshell, it is the product of distillation.
(no, not that distillation)
Read the full explanation
In its most basic form it is vapour that rises through the atmosphere due to its lightweight state (and because warmer air tends to move higher), until it slams against a layer of atmosphere which is so much cooler that causes it to quickly condense into its liquid state i.e. water. ‘Simples’!
And now that it’s back to its liquid state, much heavier than air, it must come back down: this is how you get English weekends.
Substances which are unable to vaporise, are left behind, so what you are left with is 99.9% pure H2O.
Water becomes vapour at 100° Celsius, so anything that has a boiling point higher than 100° will be left behind by the distillation.
Distillation removes water from the pollutants, filtration removes pollutants from water (or at least it tries to do so). This is for me the essence and true genius of distillation, so simple yet so absolute.
What is water distillation?
Distillation is the natural process of separating the soluble, non volatile substances which are contained in water, from the pure H2O molecule which your cells like so much!
Read the full explanation
To some it may sound like a complicated process requiring advanced apparatuses, the truth is, water distillation happens all the time around us.
Have you ever taken that shortcut to work, through the grassy park early in the morning, only to find your shoes soaked, even if it hadn’t rained?
Or have you ever “finger drawn” on the steamy inside of your car’s windshield, maybe a ‘help’ message or the classic heart? And all those little droplets of water running down into the windshield slit?
Oh, and that time it rained?
That was all, you guessed it, distilled water!
Now, don’t go drinking London summer rain! The air above a city is extremely polluted, and its rain has filtered through a layer of smog, car tyre and brake dust. Distil it first!
