It is a permanently affixed filter so that option is out. I made CS with it
yesterday using my Silver Puppy and it worked out fine so I guess there is
no real problem. I have done as you suggested about the boiling and pouring
it while still boiling and then pouring off the first cup or so and not
letting it process to the end which someone else had written.
Thanks.

That is definitely the problem. This is what I did the first time I
distilled water--I put it through a filter. The finished water read 2.
Then I distilled it again--and the reading actually went up to 3! Just use
cold tap water...boil it in a kettle and tip it into the distiller still
boiling. When the first tiny bit goes into the holding vessel...tip it off.
Then just let it distill until the end. Apparently, boiling the water
causes the volatile gas to 'burn' off because it only takes gas or
whatever...to make impurities. You then make sure by tipping off the very
first amount that comes out of the distiller. dee

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.
