Steam Distillation  

An excellent alternative to tap water which may contain poisonous toxins and bacteria, is stem distilled water. Distilled water contains no solids, minerals, or trace elements, and has no taste. In most distillation processes, over 99% of all debris, bacteria and other contaminants are removed.

Distilled water is the only clean water. Virtually everything is removed from the water by steam distillation.

The process of distillation imitates nature's own way of producing water through evaporation, precipitation and condensation. In nature, the sun's heat evaporates water found on the surface of the earth. This water vapour then rises to the atmosphere to be gathered in clouds, leaving behind all impurities. Unfortunately, as the vapour cools and falls back to earth as rain, snow, or other precipitation, it picks up various forms of pollution found in our air and on the ground where it falls. This is why rain water is not pure.

In a mechanized, human controlled distillation process, water is boiled in a distiller, which creates steam that rises and leaves virtually all contaminants behind in the boiling chamber. The steam then collected and condensed into clean, distilled water. All impurities are left behind, and because distillation boils the water, all bacteria, viruses and other water borne diseases are destroyed. There is no other process as efficient or reliable as distillation, which will remove chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, ammonia, aluminum, arsenic, copper, iron, mercury, radium, asbestos, viruses, bacteria, herbicide and pesticides - to name but few contaminants.
