Thanks Dee. I would still like to know why, however, the second
distillation is yielding crud on the bottom of the boiling pot if the water
is supposed to be pure. I figured the specks were the charcoal but it
doesn't seem to be a problem so far. I forgot to mention that I use
filtered water that I boil before I put it in the distiller.

Are you using the charcoal filter which comes with it? If so, then this is
the reason for your problems. I use a similar product but don't use the
filter which came with the machine. When I used to filter mine through a
Brita before distilling, I got a reading of 2. Now I only distill once
using cold tap water then boiling it. I tip off the very first bit of water
and then carry on. I get a reading of 000 every time using this method and
my CS is always clear. dee

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
I have be instructed to distill water twice for a particular purpose. I
have discarded the first cup or so and not let the whole cycle run through
so there is a little water left in the bottom each time.
I clean the 'pot' between each distilling. Wiping it out well.
My questions are these. If distilled water is supposed to be the purest
water possible why on the second distillation do I still get debris in the
bottom of the pot on the second processing? Second, if it is supposed to
be a closed system why do I seem to be losing an inordinate amount of
water as if it is evaporating?
I guess there is a third, at the end there are a few black specks in the
glass jug. I am assuming these are charcoal bits. Are they contaminating
the distilled water?
I'm using the Love model 4 and it is new as is the process to me.
Thanks for any help you can give.
