made in the usa

Made in the USA

Pure Water Distillers are made in the U.S.A.! They also offer the longest warranties in the industry. Moreover, their products are built to last and easy to maintain.

They’ve helped countless families worldwide get consistently safe water and have seen firsthand the life-changing effects of avoiding waterborne toxins and contaminants. They are committed to ensuring you, your families, and your businesses have fresh distilled water for years.

Why 3rd Party Testing is Important

The first step in ensuring that they provide you with the best water distiller is measuring the effectiveness of their systems, and they chose to work with 3rd party laboratories to ensure there is no bias in their measurements.

Over the years, as they got test results back, they have tweaked their designs to ensure ever better quality. Every detail is optimized. From using high-grade USA stainless steel to sourcing the best activated carbon for our sewn (never glued) filters for our Mini Classic, every component is carefully chosen because you deserve only the best.

Looking for a specific contaminant and removal rate? They’ve sorted the test results for Pure Water brand automatic distillers into categories below.

Removal of Biological Contaminants

Microbiological Contaminants are a group of living organisms that can be found in water supplies. Such contaminants can be the cause of illness in; humans that consume drinking water containing these contaminants.

Method
Bacillus subtilis 1 x 108 CFU/ML None Detected 99.9% 10 CFU/ML NSF Std 62, Annex C

Bacillus subtilis is used as a surrogate indicator. The removal of bacillus subtilis spores is generally recognized as an indicator of the removal of the following biological contaminants from water: K. terrigena (bacteria), the Polio and Rota viruses, Giardia Protozoa, and Cryptosporidia Protozoa.

Removal of Inorganic Contaminants

Inorganic contaminants are heavy metals, chemicals, and compounds which do not incorporate a carbon atom in their molecular structure. While relatively few in number, some inorganic contaminants have a high toxicity and can be found in many water supplies. The most toxic inorganic contaminants – such as lead – are regulated by the US EPA.

Removal of Radioactive Contaminants

Radioactive contaminants include impurities like plutonium, uranium, and strontium 90. Many people don’t realize that this contamination doesn’t just come from countries dumping radioactive waste; some radioactive contaminants, like uranium, often contaminate water naturally.

Removal of Organic Contaminants

Organic compounds contain a carbon atom in their chemicals structure. This group consists of thousands of different entities, many derived from the petrochemical industry. Common organic contaminants include cleaners, herbicides, pesticides, and industrial process wastes.

Removal of Herbicides and Pesticides

Any chemical in a category that ends in the word “cide” – as in pestiCIDE, herbiCIDE, insectiCIDE, and fungiCIDE – are chemicals that are specifically designed to kill things and are intentionally designed to be toxic.

Herbicides are designed to kill weeds. Pesticides and insecticides are designed to kill insects, mites and other bugs. Fungicides are designed to kill fungus. Et cetera.

Many of these chemicals are heavily regulated because of the detrimental health effects they cause from extreme or sustained exposure.

Appendix of Units

  • CFU/ML = Colony forming unit/milliliter (used for reporting bacteria results)
  • Mg/L = Milligram / Liter = ppm
  • ppm = parts per million = Mg/L
  • μg/L = Microgram/Liter = ppb
  • ppb = parts per billion = μg/L
  • Mg/L and μg/L are the units primarily used in reporting results for water analysis.

Methodology Used

This page is a compilation of testing performed at various 3rd party laboratories including the University of Nebraska –  Lincoln’s Water Sciences Laboratory, Midwest Laboratories, FGL Environmental, and Harris Laboratories, Inc. 

All Pure Water distillation systems were installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions in accordance of Owners Manuals.
