    All three are nice!  I'm not familiar with the first two designs, but they look like beauties.  Stovetop models, yes?

    I'm more familiar with the third one... electric countertop model (it's similar in design to my very first distiller).  And, from the reviews on Amazon, it seems to be a good one (no plastic parts -- bonus).

    It looks like it uses small carbon filters in it's 'out spout'.  You can buy them, or you could do what I did -- reuse the charcoal filter that comes with the unit by emptying it and refilling it with activated charcoal (I used activated aquarium charcoal, easy, fairly cheap).  Depending on how often you make distilled water, you need to replace the filter every few weeks, give or take.

    Because my tap water is high in VOCs, I would also pre-filter it using a Brita filter before filling the tank.  Again, if you like you can make your own filter(s) by gutting out a used Brita filter and reuse it by filling it with your own activated charcoal).  Depending on the quality of the water you are starting out with, you may not have to use pre and/or post filters at all.

    Stay well away from Brita water filters. They are bad news and actually add aluminum to your water

    " Actual results of the Brita water filter:  

    Aluminum reduction: INCREASE of 33.9% "

    By the way aluminum is pronounced Al U Minium Thubs Up

    and not A lum minum as Americans seem to do scratch

    That's awful!   Very good to know.  Btw, I only used the Brita filter to pre-filter the water for VOCs... so the aluminum would be removed during the distillation process.  Still, back in the 'old days' when we didn't know any better, we used to drink Brita filtered water all the time...  B@ST@RDS! Mad 1  

    No, no, no.  It's pronounced 'AL U MINUM' -- NOT 'AL U MINI UM'.  Do you see an extra 'I' in there?  No?  That's right, there's no extra 'I' in there.

    Seriously, what's the matter with you people? Insanely Happy

    Anyway you're from Canada which is still part of Britain so you should be speaking proper English, unless you're one of those French types Bleh

    Aluminium vs. aluminum

    Aluminum is the American and Canadian spelling for the silver-white metallic element (number 13 on the periodic table) abundant in the earth’s crust. Aluminium is the preferred spelling outside North America. Neither term is superior to the other, and both are etymologically and logically justifiable. Aluminum is older, while aluminium is more consistent with other element names such as helium, lithium, magnesium, and so on (though let’s not forget there are other -um elements—molybdenum, tantalum, and platinum).

    Aluminium has the edge in scientific writing even in North America. This is primarily because several influential scientific organizations and publications prefer the spelling.

    Nice punch! Cool

    Sadly, most Canadians are a bunch of cowardly wusses.  At least my anal German background is good for something. Thubs Up


    Btw, it seems that by the 23rd century they finally resolved the 'aluminum/aluminium' debate...
