I have always wondered about this as well. I have a friend who sells distillers and he says that they all have post processing these days with carbon to eliminate contaminates in the form of volatile gases that get through the steam distilling process. The literature on both the distillers that I've bought say that its to -polish- taste - whatever that means. As you may know, a drawback of carbon filtering for CS is it may leave carbon fines residue that affect conductivity, etc. BTW, for anyone looking for a great home distiller. I love my stainless steal Mini Classic from the Pure Water Co, of Lincoln , NE. It makes about a gallon in 3.5 hours and is very easy to use. best, Steve King -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
