| A form of distillation was used by ancient Greek sailors. They use to hang sponges over pots of boiling sea (salt) water. They would then squeeze out the collected water from the sponges. They did this because they found that the water squeezed out from the sponges was not salty and was drinkable. Today, the US Navy uses distilled water derived from sea water for drinking water on-board ships. Water Distillers today are simply a man-made form of replicating Nature's "Hydrologic Cycle" method of producing pure water. Distillation is generally recognized as an effective broad spectrum water treatment method and removes many different kinds of contaminants including biological contaminants such as bacteria and viruses. Distilled water, besides being the best for Drinking and Cooking water, is used for a variety of applications. Distilled water is best for use in Home Aquariums and Fish Tanks, Home Appliances such as Irons and Humidifiers and is used in Wet-Celled Batteries. Distilled water is also used when pure water is needed for for such things as Photo Processing, Pharmaceuticals, Perfumes, Facial Products, Cosmetic Products, Laboratories, Plant Water, Rinse Water, etc... |
