Many health-conscious families are concerned with the safety and purity of their drinking water. Luckily, installing a water distillation machine in the home is an inexpensive way to add some extra peace of mind.
Canada’s drinking water guidelines regulate the maximum acceptable level of water contaminants. This includes:
- Chemicals
- Radiological elements and
- Microbiological contaminants.
Some people feel that these guidelines are insufficient and feel better knowing they have installed a second line of defense.
Is Canada’s Public Drinking Water Really Safe?
The public drinking water in Canada is generally considered safe for consumption. However, the infamous Walkerton incident is still fresh in some residents’ minds.
This compromise in the water system, which occurred in the year 2000, resulted in the largest E-Coli contamination in Canada’s history. The outbreak resulted in over 2,300 illnesses and 7 deaths.
It’s clear to see there’s value in taking extra precautions to ensure the health and safety of the water supply. A water distillation machine serves as a second line of defense. Many families believe it is well worth the small added expense.
Why use a Water Distillation Machine?
Your body depends on water consumption to survive. In fact, medical professionals generally recommend consuming eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water per day.
Using distilled water for drinking and cooking brings many benefits including:
- Increased energy
- Improved digestion
- Weight loss
- Glowing skin
- Body-wide detox
Tips for Choosing the Best Water Distillation Machine
There are many important facts to consider when determining which water distillation machine is best for your needs. Here are a few of the primary questions you should ask.
How Much Water Does My Family Consume?
Take an inventory of how much water your family is currently consuming. This will help you to decide how large of a system you may need. Remember that many people prefer the taste of distilled water, so consumption may increase once your system is in place.
What Level of Integration Do I Need?
The two primary options for water distillation machines are point-of-use or whole-house systems. Point-of-Use systems filter the water just prior to consumption. This includes water pitchers or bottles, faucet-mounted systems, under-sink systems, and refrigerator filters.
Whole-house systems filter the water as it enters the home.
This includes water softeners, UV microbiological systems, and whole-house chlorine filters.
The filtration system is typically located near the pressurized water tank or the water meter. This depends on whether the home is on the municipal water system uses well water.
How Difficult Is It to Install the System?
Filtration pitchers and water bottles obviously have no installation requirements. Other system installations may require extensive professional knowledge. Systems that require a drain hook-up are commonly more difficult to install.
What are the Maintenance Requirements?
Determine how often the filtration system needs to be cleaned and how difficult the process will be. Look for convenient features like a removable boiling chamber or easily accessible reservoir. This will make cleaning your system much easier and more convenient.
When considering the cost of the system, be sure to include the time required to complete basic maintenance. You should also add in the expense of necessary parts and filters.
