pH of freshly distilled water:
When distilled water has been freshly produced from a quality water distiller, it gives a pH reading of pH7.0.

Caveat: if a charcoal post carbon filter has been used in the distilling process, depending upon the source of the carbon / charcoal, it may cause the distilled water to have a slightly higher or lower pH.

Cheap pH testers usually show a false pH:
The pH of distilled water can seldom be measured accurately with cheap pH Testing Strips or pH Testing Solution, due the reasons mentioned below. For an accurate pH reading, a high quality (usually expensive) professional pH tester must be used!

Distilled water and carbon dioxide:
Once water has been distilled, any interaction with the atmosphere (open air) allows carbon dioxide to dissolve into it, forming carbonic acid. As a result, agitating the water or allowing it to sit for a while (even within 5 minutes of open air) will leave you with an aqueous solution that drifts down in pH when measured with cheap pH testers. Because there are no natural buffers in ultra pure distilled water, most cheap pH testers ( pH Testing Strips and pH Testing Solution) usually shows a false pH as low as 5.6 - 4.9. However, when a professional high quality, temperature compensated pH tester is used, it will show the true pH which is 7.0.

As above, distilled water dissolves carbon dioxide from the air until it is in dynamic equilibrium with the atmosphere. That means that the amount of carbon dioxide being dissolved balances the amount coming out of solution. The total amount of carbon acid in the water is determined by the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, i.e. the dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with the water and finally forms carbonic acid.

2 H2O + CO2 --> H2O + H2CO3 (carbonic acid) --> (H30+) (charged acidified water) + (HCO3-) (charged bicarbonate ion)

High purity water not only picks up contaminants rapidly (such as carbon dioxide (CO2) - which affects it's apparent pH), but it also has a low conductivity that can affect the accuracy of various pH meters. Take for example the absorption of just a few ppm of CO2 from the atmosphere, which can cause the pH of ultra pure water to drop to 4.5 when tested with cheap pH testers, despite the fact that the water is still essentially a very high quality water, and actually shows a pH of 7 (+/- 0.1pH) with a high quality pH tester.

Accurate pH reading:
The most accurate estimation of the pH of ultra pure water is obtained by measuring its resistance. For a given resistance, the pH must sit between certain limits. As an example, if the resistance is 10.0 MWcm, the true pH must lie between 6.6 and 7.6. Thus it is imperative that a professional high quality, temperature compensated pH tester be used when measuring distilled water.

pH comparison of everyday foods and beverages:

The Holy Scriptures state in 1 Timothy 5:23 "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."

It is interesting to note that the the average wine measures pH3, which is very acidic. Despite the acidity, a little wine as proscribed above has helped calm various infirmities with ease.

Summary:
According to the Merck Manual, the human body uses buffers to balance the pH. If a person consumes something acid, the blood will produce more bicarbonate and less carbon dioxide to neutralize any acidity. Likewise the blood will produce more carbon dioxide and less bicarbonate if a alkaline substance is consumed.

As above, compared with other beverages, ultra pure distilled water has a neutral pH value, which is pH 7.0.

Thus it is believed that drinking distilled water will not put a human body into an acidic state.

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.

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.

"If tap water was truthfully labeled - most people would refuse to drink it."

"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.)

Click here to 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.

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:

1. untreated water is converted into water vapour
2. 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 (rain water is distilled 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 only and ate no food for the rest of his / her life, he / she would certainly become mineral deficient in a very short time!

However the reality is that people who regularly drink pure distilled water and eat a healthy diet, are predominantly showing the following results:

• stronger teeth with less cavities - or or none at all
• stronger bones with a higher bone density
• thicker hair
• healthier skin
• greatly reduced sickness
• etc

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:

1. the air that we breath (10,000 to 30,000 litres per 1 litre of physical food),
2. 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: runs a tap, boils water for cooking, tea and coffee, showers, 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.

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.)

Automatic Water Distillers:

• Distiller connects directly to the water mains, e.g. laundry tap, kitchen plumbing or garden hose etc;
• Once the unit is turned on, the Boiling Chamber fills to the maximum level automatically and the machine begins distilling automatically;
• As the water level drops, the distiller automatically replenishes the Boiling Chamber;
• Once the reservoir (where the distilled water is collected) is full, the water distiller turns off automatically;
• When the reservoir is about half empty, the distiller automatically turns on and will keep distilling until the reservoir is fully replenished again.

Semi Automatic (Countertop) Water Distillers:

• The operator must fill the Boiling Chamber to the maximum water level mark manually;
• The operator must turn the water distiller on manually;
• The distiller will turn off automatically when all of the water in the Boiling Chamber has been distilled.

Now you are able to produce your own pure drinking water, at a fraction of the cost of bottled water [power consumption approx' 6¢ - 12¢ per litre]. Compared to the cost of buying water, this distiller will pay for itself in just 3 or so months! It makes sense to make your own pure water!

Our Water Distillers are also excellent for making your own pure Distilled Water for Dr Beck's electronic colloidal silver maker / Blood Cleaner.
