Waterwise WW1600 Non-Electric Water Distiller

I tested it and it really does work. You must have a lot of patience and be well educated on how to use it. This will come in very handy if the power ever goes out here, just like my solar grill. Always be prepared.

Very good product and gives a large quantity of distilled water in a short period of time. The only downside for me it that it is not regisitering zero purity on my TDS, it is registering 5.. Otherwise, it is the best performer I've seen so far.

I knew that the place I wanted to live did not have the best water in. It was my choice to have good drinking and cooking water. The best way to get that was to distill it myself. I also bought the non-electric in case of disaster as you could also use it on the BBQ. Given that, it takes the best part of the day to get the five gallons that I want. I have to choose a day where I am going to be home to attend it. It usually takes 10-12 hours. It has to be attended to every 40 minutes. I live with a timer around my neck all day. I have to do this once a week. Except for this inconvenience, I am happy with it. I have been doing this for 4 years and at times am very tired of being "tied" to it. I am considering buying an electric one to use on the days when it is really an inconvenience to spend all day to get the water I want.

Product is not cheaply built as some have reviewed; it's very sturdy. The documentation states it will generate a gallon of distilled water in 70 minutes. I have timed it 3 times and my best run yet was 2 hours 25 minutes, twice the stated time. I've tried leveling the cooktop, the collection device adjusting the temperature with little change in result. I have only run this still on a flat glass electric stove. I believe a gas heat source may work better because of the design of the kettle.

Wow. Love it. I don't make beer or any other alcoholic beverages I simply want to distilled my water for a home project without any unnecessary water waste, this product is spot on, very easy to operate, my recommendation is to read the instructions few times before operating it. Wash it with soap and water few times before and don't forget to add water to the cooling plates on the top.

I bought this a year and a half ago and have used it every week. I keep 3 five gallon bottles full of delicious pure water. Well worth the price I paid and very well built.

I have purchased this and returned promptly. All I had to do is take a close look. Hope to spare you the waste of time I have included pictures of the waterwise ww1600.

Not easily cleanable. Must be taken apart to clean each level.
