316 MEGAHOME DISTILLER (silver/black /glass jar)

Is it mandatory to use carbon filters? Charcoal filters volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as pesticides and solvents. Carbon filtration removes these chemicals and improves the taste of the water. Activated charcoal components: natural coconut shell. Features: Removes odors and improves taste. Expiry date: The activated carbon package must be changed every 25 days. If the distilled water has a strange taste or odor, replace the activated carbon package immediately. The water will be tastier if you use 2 bags at a time. Do not put unused, unused or currently used activated carbon packs in the refrigerator, as they can absorb odors there and therefore give the water a bad taste. New packages of activated carbon can emit a small amount of black powder, which is completely harmless to the human body. It is just powdered charcoal, it is safe to use. Tightly sealed activated carbon packages should be stored in a cool place. When you buy a new distiller, you will find packages of activated carbon in the packaging, or they can be purchased separately.

Depending on the temperature of the water supplied, the distillation process can take the same amount of time. If the water is very cold, the process can take up to 30% longer than at normal room temperature. For example, if the water temperature is 22 degrees (room temperature), it takes an average of 3 to 3,5 hours to distill all the water in the device. If the temperature is about 8 degrees, it will take about 4 hours, and so on.

If the water tank is filled above the maximum filling limit, the appliance must evaporate more water than usual, so the process takes longer.

Because the working power is between 350-850 W after water boil, if the consumer house power is low, the machine will automatically change to low power to save electricity, so the distilling time will be different.

CLEANING THE DISTILLATOR
For the distiller heating system to work properly, it is recommended to clean the boiling tank once a month (or more often, depending on the frequency of use) from limescale and other deposits. Acid (usually lemon) based cleaners are used for cleaning. When purchasing a distiller, one pack of detergent is included.
