Dee, what country are you living in?  If the UK or Australia you can obtain one 
locally.  They are not huge in size.  Yes, the distilled water is a problem; 
where I live we are lucky enough to have a big distilling works in the city (3 
hrs away).  I presume the place you live in doesn't have steam distilled water 
easily obtainable?

 I also would have to send to America for the generator, plus the expense of a 
distiller and water meter; it is all just to much of an outlay at the 
beginning, and then you have all the hassle of getting it right!
