Distillation
effectively removes contaminants such as bacteria, dissolved solids,
heavy metals, chemicals (fluoride / chlorine / sewerage etc), pesticides, insecticides, crytosporidium,
giardia etc.
1.Ordinary tap water is heated to 100° C in
a stainless steel boiling chamber, killing bacteria, cysts
and viruses that may be present. 2.As the water temperature
rises, low boiling light gases are discharged through the gaseous
vent. 3.Steam rises leaving behind
dissolved solids, salts, and all other contaminants. 4.Steam is condensed in a stainless steel coil that is fan cooled. 5.This high quality steam
distilled water then percolates through a coconut shell carbon
filter. (To enhance the taste). 6.The purified drinking water
is collected in the four litre storage bottle (included).
Quality stainless steel Under-Lid
and Condensing Coil
Extra thick stainless steel lining on inside of Boiling Chamber
The
lift-off top provides easy access into the seamless, stainless
steel container. This is where the distillation takes place, and the residue is left on the bottom of the Boiling Chamber (picture at right above)..
Pure
steam distilled water produces high quality water consistently.
It is the way water should be. Pure
steamed distilled water produced by the Divine Countertop is a fraction of the cost of bottled water, and
virtually pays for itself many times over when compared to bottled
water purchases.
Simple operational maintenance is required so the product continues to perform as advertised. A full range of spare parts and accessories are maintained.

Q: When do I replace my charcoal?
A: When you notice a change in the taste of your pure distilled water
Below is an inexpensive method of refilling the Post Carbon Filter Cup. Bulk charcoal can be purchased here. (It is advisable to wear safety glasses during this procedure, in case the knife tip breaks.)
1) Place a knife point in corner
2) Gently pry stainless steel mesh from Filter Cup
3) The loose charcoal granules can now be clearly seen
4) Note that the exit hole also has a stainless steel mesh
Once the Filter Cup has been opened, take note of how full the charcoal level is before emptying the previous charcoal / carbon contents.
When replenishing the charcoal, leave enough room so that the stainless steel mesh / cover can be comfortably reinserted into its seat. Pour some pure distilled water through the filter to remove any dust etc, then fit into place in the Divine Ultra Countertop Water Distiller.
IMPORTERS: The Divine Ultra Countertop Water Distiller is imported directly from the
manufacturer. Accordingly,
there is a
complete range of spare parts on hand to service our customers,
in the unlikely event that you may damage your water distiller.

2010, February. Mr Charles Thibodeau, Largs North, Adelaide, SA, Australia. "Hi there. I was just sending a reply to thank you as I have received my distiller [Divine Ultra Countertop - Jug]today.
It is working as we speak etc... Thank you and thumbs up on the machine. It works very well.
Thank you for the excellent service, the parcel has arrived Monday 25th.
The jug [Divine Ultra Countertop - Jug] tested my ingenuity a little until I positioned the handle across the poring spout and tightened the bands; clicked the little plastic horseshoe into the small opening that is supposed to allow the distillate to enter closing it and, rotate the lid at 90 degrees from the spout for the distillate to flow in."
2009, October. Mr Reg Gray, Holden Hill, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. "Hi, the Distiller [Divine Ultra Countertop] arrived today and I can hear it whirring away in the laundry. All seems fine at present, thanks for the quick delivery. Cheers Reg."
2009, August. Mr Ratziel Bander, Wentworth Falls, NSW, Australia. "Hi, We are really loving our Divine distiller[Divine Ultra Countertop]. Thanks so much.
Can you advise please: what do you use to store and dispense your water? And how long does it keep?
Thanks so much for your help. Ratziel."
2009, July. Mr Kelly Warn, Millers Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia. "Hi JUICERS AUSTRALIA,
The distiller [Divine Ultra Countertop] arrived yesterday afternoon and worked fine. Thanks for the prompt response and the extra's.
Kind Regards,
Kelly Warn."
2008, November. Mr P. Tomlinson, Timaru, New Zealand. "Hi JUICERS AUSTRALIA,
Amazing! I have just ceremoniously tipped the rest of our bottle of
'Water Residue Cleaner' into the chamber [Divine 30L Water Distiller] for a second soak in vague
hopes of cleaning out the colossal accumulation of sediment in it!
A good point you mentioned: This happens to be the same stuff in us
creatures called humans who have not yet discovered that art of not
drinking it and in this regard we are indeed grateful for your help
getting free from this curse. Just hope I haven't too much already
clogging me up after a lifetime not realising the folly of drinking
water from public water supplies. I guess the distilled water will gradually dissolve the past indiscretion, over time of course.
I will need to buy a good few more bottles of Water Residue Cleaner
when in town next - whatever this chemical mix happens to be.
Mmmmmm... mmmm. 'Tis a great blessing to know about distillation.Cheers, Philip."

Water Distillers ~ Distilled Water ~ Water Purifiers ~ Water Filters
Water suppliers find it "uneconomical" to supply the public with pure water, as up to 98% of the water supply will be used by the population to: flush toilets - mop floors - wash vehicles & clothes - industry etc. Although some councils and water suppliers claim that their water is suitable and safe for human consumption, they emphatically refuse to accept liability by supplying an Affidavit or Statutory Declaration to that effect, for fear of perjuring / implicating themselves!
Mass medicating the public by adding extremely poisonous toxic industrial waste to the water supply such as Fluoride(a corrosive Class 8 Dangerous Goods / HazChem 2 poison), is unethical, illegal and a serious crime against humanity.
Throughout 2000 to 2007, many builders in Kingaroy, Queensland found that the town drinking water was even unsuitable for making cement! During this period the Kingaroy Shire Council claimed that the town water was suitable for human consumption, while local farmer's calves would quickly die after drinking the town water supply! Go figure...
It is certainly wise (and cheaper) to make your own fluoride and chlorine free pure water at home.

Scale / Mineral / Chemical Residue Removed from Drinking Water after just 6 Weeks! - top

Top
View
The above
photos show the scale / mineral / chemical residue removed from the base
of the boiling chamber of one of our Water Distillers, after
just 6 weeks water distillation for a family of three. (All of our pure water distillers will produce the same
results.)
This particular residue is from one of the purest sources of council supplied,
non fluoridated drinking water in the South Island of New Zealand. Different
locales produce various amounts, types and colours of scale residue, depending upon what minerals / pollutants are in the water, e.g. sewerage & industrial waste; as well as what poisons and chemicals e.g. fluoride, chlorine etc, that your local government adds to your the supply.
Because of water distillation, the owner's kidneys, arteries etc are now free of such scale / mineral / chemical residue.
The Importance of Drinking Pure Distilled Water
"Since
we started using distilled water, our athletes have
been drinking more. We can only attribute that to the
fresh, clean taste…"Dave Ellis, Director of Performance Nutrition at the
University of Nebraska Athletic Department.
"Even
tap water invariably contains a variety of poisons such
as chlorine, chloramine, asbestos, pesticides, fluoride,
copper, mercury, and lead. The best way to remove all
these contaminants is by distilling."How
To Save Your Teeth: Toxic-Free Preventive Dentistry,
Dr. David Kennedy, D.D.S.
This
is why people of all ages (as well as pets and plants), respond
positively to pure distilled water. Animals will always choose distilled water when given a choice!
(Note:
Certain champion race horses are always given pure distilled water to drink
- a secret practiced by a few very successful and famous owners.)
A
water distiller heats tap water to 100 degrees centigrade, causing the water
to change to steam, leaving behind harmful: volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- inorganic minerals - chemicals - diseases - viruses and contaminants.
Clickhereto see the harmful contaminants that are removed from your drinking
water via Water Distillation.
The
steam vapour is condensed into pure distilled water leaving the remaining
sediment in the bottom of the stainless steel chamber. The purified water
then passes through an ingeniously positioned carbon filter, which further
purifies the water. No other purification system can match the quality
of distilled water with post carbon filtration. Most distillers produce
ultra pure water with 99.9%+ purity.
What
is distillation?
Distillation is simply the process of heating water to its boiling point; capturing
and then condensing the pure steam to form pure distilled water. In nature this
process is known as the hydrologic cycle.
Consumable
needs: Pure distilled water should be used for all of your consumable needs, or anything
that goes into your body. Whether you consume ice cubes, soup, coffee, tea,
pasta, rice, baby formula, juices, or just drinking water, the contaminants
that are in your tap water are still finding their way into your body –
unless you are using pure distilled water.
How
nature purifies water:
Water is essential to all life. Without it the biosphere that exists on the
surface of the earth wouldn't be possible. Nicknamed the "water" planet, earth is covered by one of our most precious resources. However 97%
is locked in the oceans, toxic to humans and many plants and animals. How do
we obtain fresh water resources then?
Hydrologic
Cycle:
To understand, we need to turn to the Hydrologic Cycle. The Hydrologic Cycle (also called the water cycle) is the process that moves water around
the earth. The cycle starts with the sun heating water in our rivers, lakes
and oceans and turning it into water vapour, which rises into the air (called
evaporation). When water vapour cools it forms clouds (condensation), which become heavy with water and rains back to earth (precipitation).
Water
is not created or destroyed:
It is this process that cleans the earth’s water. Water is not created
or destroyed. Simply put, it is continually changing its form and location.
The water you drink today is likely to have been lapped up by animals and people
6 thousand years ago, or helped fill Julius Caesar’s bathing pool, or could
be from a tear from Jesus Christ (Aramaic = Eshoo). The water we use now is
the same supply the human race started with. Its quality is renewed again and
again by the natural Hydrologic Cycle that our Creator originally set in place.
Distilled water from the clouds.
How
water distillers purify water:
Water Distillers are performing not only as one of the most effective forms
of treatment, but they're one of the easiest to understand:
untreated water is converted into water vapour
which is then condensed back into liquid form
Most of the contaminants are left behind in the boiling chamber, with the condensed
water being virtually contaminant-free.
Anyone
who has accidentally let a pot of water boil completely out on the stove is
familiar with this process, and familiar with the crust of contaminants typically
left behind after the water is gone.
In
nature, this basic process is responsible for the hydrologic cycle. The sun
causes water to evaporate from surface sources such as lakes, oceans, and streams.
The water vapour eventually comes in contact with cooler air, where it re-condenses
to form dew or rain. This process can be imitated artificially(e.g.
water distillation), and more rapidly than in nature, using alternative
sources of heating and cooling.
What about the minerals that are removed via distillation?
As water distillation removes most minerals / elements from the water, it becomes just like pure rain water. Some people are concerned that if they drink distilled water or pure rain water, they will suffer from a mineral deficiency. If a person drank nothing but distilled water for the rest of his / her life, he / she would certainly become mineral deficient.
Please take note that the greatest amount of our minerals / elements that we require actually comes from the air that we breathe. To illustrate this point, imagine if a person stopped breathing for say 10 minutes. How long would that person survive without access to the minerals / elements in the air?
The next greatest source of minerals is from the physical food humans consume. Unlike air, humans can actually survive for several weeks without eating physical food. Please note that for every 1 litre of physical food that humans consume, humans require approximately 10,000 litres of air. Sports people and extremely hard working people can consume up to 30,000 litres of air for every 1 litre of food eaten.
Humans are mostly composed of water, i.e. approximately 75-85%. Every metabolic function that takes place within the human body is in a water medium. Water is essential for hydrating the body and especially the cells; and if pure enough, water is excellent for keeping the cells clean by removing toxins and cell debris.
In summary, the greatest percentage of minerals / nutrients are obtained in the following order of priority:
the air that we breath (10,000 to 30,000 litres per 1 litre of physical food),
physical food such as a well balanced diet of vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts, meats (chicken, beef, goat...) etc.
Some people who eat a healthy balanced diet also take vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as consume regular amounts of pure water for hydrating the body and cleaning the cells.
Volatile / Gaseous Vent:
All good water distillers have a 'Volatile / Gaseous Vent' incorporated into the beginning of the stainless steel condensing coil, to prevent Volatile Gases contaminating the pure distilled water, by releasing any Volatile Gasses (if present in source water) into the atmosphere.
If there are Volatile Gasses present in the source water, then these Volatile Gasses are also being released into the air every time a consumer:
and is consumed every time the consumer drinks it.
If the source water is heavily contaminated with council poisons and subsequent Volatile Gasses, it is advisable to vent any room that has running water and especially heated water such as cooking / showering etc, as well as the distillation area.
Top View of Divine 48L Water Distiller Volatile / Gaseous Vent
Distillation units require only minimal maintenance, which usually involves draining
off the concentrated sediment and other contaminants that accumulate at the
bottom of the boiling chamber. It is not necessary to keep the bottom (inside) of water distillers spotless (especially with semi-automatic type water distillers that have an internal element in the base), as there will always be a sediment film on the bottom after each and every use.
The most important thing is to clean away the bulk poisonous / chemical residue, which if allowed to build up, makes distillation more inefficient.
The walls of the chamber may also need to be
cleaned of hard-water scale and other sediment that can accumulate. The required
amount of cleaning depends greatly upon the initial quality of water used. Very
hard water can produce heavy scaling in a relatively short period of time. If
soft water is used, cleaning difficulties should be minimal. (For your convenience we supply
a wonderful product called Steel Kleen for this very purpose. Steel Kleen can be ordered via the Divine Water Distiller page.)
The carbon / charcoal filters must be changed periodically as well. The best time to change is when you notice a 'taste' in the pure water. These are very inexpensive to replace.(Charcoal can be ordered via the Divine Water Distiller page.)

After
almost 40 years of providing fluoride to the shire's residents northern
NSW's Ballina council is recommending that it scrap the service.
Since
1965 the council has offered fluoride in one form or another.
But
new legislation now classifies fluoride as a poison.
Ballina's
manager of water and sewerage, Phil Warner, says it is time stop the
practice because the council is no longer authorised to hand out fluoride.
"The
council has been providing fluoride to the community over the counter
for many years now, but in tablet form and also in drop form," Mr Warner said.
"Basically
fluoride is now considered a poisonous substance."
Reverse
Osmosis works by moving water through a membrane which acts as a filter. The
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary says that osmosis is the "movement
of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane (as of a living cell) into
a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalise the concentrations
of solute on the two sides of the membrane."
Water Distillation takes the water out of the "filth - contaminants
- diseases and viruses"
Reverse Osmosis takes the "filth and contaminants" out
of the water.
Advantages
of Reverse Osmosis:
Removes chlorine, taste and odour, and chemicals (with carbon pre-filter
or post-filter)
Removes
heavy metals, such as lead
Can
remove cysts - but not recommended
Disadvantages
of Reverse Osmosis:
Can
not remove radioactive contaminated water
Not
effective at removing biological components such as: Algae, Bacteria,
Crypto Sporidium, Viruses (Giardia etc.)
Wastes
water - usually 4 to 5 gallons of water go down the drain to treat 1 gallon
Produces
brine water waste
Check
on local government regulations for dumping brine water waste
Requires
pressures of 150-400 p.s.i.
High energy costs
Membranes are relatively expensive
Costly maintenance and replacement of membranes contribute significantly
to total production cost
Some compounds can make the membrane deteriorate or clog - e.g. chlorine
and sediment in the water
Therefore it can be important to pre-treat the water by suspending and
removing solid material, anti-scaling treatments, adjusting the pH, de-chlorinating
and softening
If
the membrane isn't changed regularly, a "dam" of filth
forms in the membrane, which subsequent water must pass through
This "dam" can become a breeding ground for Bacteria
- disease and viruses
