Drinking Water Distillation System

Purer Water for Drinking and Cooking

Running Waters, Inc. is a custom manufacturer of stainless steel water distillation systems for the purpose of purifying tap water into clean, safe and good tasting water.

Many industries are required to have some type of distillization and we are here to help you make your decision offering ? years of knowledge and experience in the distillation systems industry.

Distiller Parts

Distillation Systems - Description of Parts

1. Vents- This permits an air intake and exhaust. Providing cooling on air intake from the fan blower condensing radiator.
2. Boiler drain- This provides control of the separated minerals and metals, which are being removed by the boiling process.
3. Dispensing valve- This delivers pure distilled water as required.

1. Temperature Control- Should the water not enter the boiler, the element may burnout. This control turns off the element when the temperature reaches 200 F. It turns on again when temperature is 195 F. Continues this sequence until water is restored.
2. Steam line- Showing exit from the boiler and entrance to the cooling condenser.
3. Solenoid Shut off Valve- This serves as a safety feature so that water can not enter the boiler when the electric is turned off.
4. Insulated Boiler- To improve the heat transfer into the fluid and reduce heat loss to atmosphere.
5. Power Cord- 110V- 60 Hertz.

1. MHD Scale Control Unit- Using the science of Magnetohydrodynamics action, hard scale is reduced to soft scale and sludge. Thereby prolonging the time of internal inspection of the boiler. We are the only distillation company to use this science.
2. Cooling Fan- Aids in the cooling process.
3. Cooling Condenser- Returns hot steam vapor to pure water.
4. Tilt Switch- Water in bottom storage tank rises as it fills, slowly changes the angle of the switch at the predetermined level. The switch shuts everything down.
5. Rocker Switch- This switch controls the heating element. When it's time to inspect the boiler, this switch can be opened, stopping any electricity to the element. The boiler can be opened, activated the tilt switch and water will flow into the boiler for it's rinsing cycle.
6. Electrical Cover- Safety. With cover in place nothing is exposed to the electrical wiring to the element.

1. Spring Clips- Fastens boiler cover with enough pressure to seal in the generated steam.
2. Loose Steam Line- This permits the lid to swing wide providing clear access to boiler components.
3. Cold Water Line- As shown the cold incoming water parallels the hot steam line. Two-fold reacting absorbs some heat and cools steam line for more efficient cooling.

1. Water Inlet Valve- Permits the water to enter the boiler.
2. Float Control- Maintains the proper water level above the element, approximately 1.5 inches.
3. Heater Element- 1500 watts with a surface area of approximately 100% larger than conventional single loop elements. This reduces the watts per square inch, thereby increasing the element life.
4. Boiler Drain Outlet

Cost Effective

Consider this: We all pay approximately $.05+ per kilowatt-hour for electricity. The cost for you to make one gallon of PURE DISTILLED WATER IS ONLY $.10. Not $.99 for someone else's bottled well water. RUNNING WATERS economical distiller with direct hook-up, automatic fill and shut-off will provide your family, friends and employees with a ready and convenient supply of pure water.

How Do They Work?

The automatic filling feature is easily connected to a convenient water source. The automatic float level control coordinates precise filling of the boiler. When the boiler is full, the heating element is activated and the distilling process begins. When the storage reservoir volume is increased to the proper upper level, again the automatic controls will deactivate the boiler and will remain on standby. When the water level in the storage reservoir is reduced to the proper lower level, the boiler is automatically reactivated, and refills the storage reservoir with purified water.

All functions on the distillation unit are automatically controlled, and require no manual monitoring. Cleaning the boiler is quick and easy. First, turn off the electricity, then open the external valve located on the side. Drain away the contaminants that have been separated from the feed water. Permit the boiler to refill before turning on the electricity.

Technical

Our Running Waters, Inc. distiller can be furnished with a 110 volt or 220 volt boiler heater. Our distiller is available with storage reservoirs of different sizes.

1. Unit Model A has a five (5), ten (10) and fifteen (15) gallon storage reservoir.
2. Unit Model B has a five (5) gallon storage reservoir.

Larger sizes, both in reservoir capacity and in gallons per day production are available upon request. Our units are also available with options such as an on demand pump for use with an automatic ice maker.

Benefits

Distilling water is the only way to ensure the quality of your drinking water- 100% of the time. Distillation is the only method of producing drinking water perfected by Mother Nature over millions of years. Our Running Waters distiller uses the same process of evaporation and condensation found within nature. We just use modern technology to speed up the process. Who has time to wait around for rain every time they want a glass of water?

Options

1. We have available a 3-stage filter which is used in some harsh cases to pre-condition the water. Stage one contains a 5-micron particle filter. Stage 2 contains activated charcoal. This removes odors and taste. Stage 3 contains an inhibitor, which aids in keeping a hard scale from forming on the sidewalls of your boiler.
2. We also have available an on-demand small pump that can furnish water to a remote location such as your icemaker, etc. This pump has a pressure sensitive switch, which controls its running time. Example: When you stop the running of the water discharge the line pressurizes. This turns the pump off and holds that pressure. When you withdraw water the pressure drops and on comes the pump and water continues to flow.
3. For those of you who have a curious mind, we have available a pH (acid) meter and a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter. They are hand-held and battery powered with digital readouts. Operation is simple. Just remove a clip over cover, expose the probe, dip in the fluid, press a button and presto...your reading is displayed. These meters are light weight and are normally carried in your shirt pocket and secured with a built on clip.

We are the only distiller manufacturer, which incorporates a waste heat recovery circuit.

Here's how it works. The steam from the boiler enters behind the condenser at the top and circulates downward in a serpentine fashion, condensing into water. A small fan blows air across the condenser.

Now for the good part. The incoming cold water travels also in a serpentine fashion from the bottom of the condenser upward to the top absorbing heat from the cooling steam.

As a result the water entering the boiler no longer enters at 55 degrees requiring a temperature rise of approximately 155. This incoming water now enters your boiler at approximately 150 - 160 degrees. Now the heat required to increase the temperature to boiling is greatly reduced and lowering your electrical cost to produce a gallon of distilled water.

If your cost for electricity is 7-8 cents a kilowatt-hour, using a 1500-watt boiling element, your cost of operation will be from 10 - 12 cents per hour.

We have the convenience of credit card purchase.

Why Buy A Running Waters, Inc. Water Distiller?

1. RUNNING WATERS, INC. DISTILLERS are manufactured using all food grade stainless steel # 304.
   
2. RUNNING WATERS, INC. DISTILLERS are fractional distillers which means that when steam carries over the entrained gases, they are lighter than steam and are vented to atmosphere.
   
3. RUNNING WATERS, INC. DISTILLERS are pre-assembled.
   
4. RUNNING WATERS, INC. DISTILLED water has no chlorine, no pesticides, no viruses, no bacteria and no cancer causing elements.

Paying Too Much For Water?

Distilling at home puts you ahead in the long run. The Running Water residential distiller costs about $0.12 per gallon to operate. You can do the math, depending on how much bottled water you use, you could be coming out ahead sooner rather than later. There are also no more bottles to carry from the store, no more worrying about running out of water. You always have pure water when you need it- for drinking, cooking, your pets- whatever.
