   AmazonLover – 28 April 2021

   This is an essential piece of kit for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea sufferers using CPAP therapy. I was diagnosed in January and picked up my CPAP machine in February. As I have really bad Allergic Rhinitis, they recommended that I get a CPAP machine with a humidifier circuit and water reservoir [AirSense 10 Elite Autoset].The nurse told me I could use boiled water in the reservoir, but all of my research on CPAP machines indicated that this would not be pure enough and would damage the machine as well as potentially cause respiratory infections. Boiled kettle water is not free from mould spores and other organic and inorganic matter and minerals, the boiling process doesn’t kill or remove them and the water, if you’re in a hard water area like me, is still full of limescale. As you’re using the boiled water from the kettle and it isn’t being filtered through anything, rather than using the steam, which is later condensed and then filtered in a distiller, boiled tap water has all of the impurities of standard tap water.After a mere three days of using boiled water in the CPAP machine reservoir, a white limescale mark started to show in the tank.I immediately bought one of these distillers and honestly, it’s a fantastic piece of kit. I have been distilling and using my own water for over two months now, almost three, and there’s no limescale build up whatsoever in my CPAP machine. Unlike simply boiling water, the distillation process means that the water you end up with is free from mould spores and limescale and is extremely pure. This is further evidenced by the gunk that is left behind in the distiller’s main tank once the cycle has ended. All of that gunk in the tank is what is in your tap water and what you were breathing in via your CPAP machine if you used boiled tap water.All of the CPAP and OSA sites recommend distilled water, so I thought this was worth the investment. The hospitals and nurses tend to recommend boiled tap water because distilled water is extremely expensive in the long term. However this device is well worth the investment to extend the life of your equipment, protect your respiratory system and save money on distilled water. The distiller pays for itself in no time as pre-bottled distilled water is extremely expensive and often the jerry cans are very difficult to open due to overtightening. I’ve had to return a few that could not be opened even with a jar opener because the caps were fused shut.I have distilled about eight 3.5L loads so far for use with my own CPAP device and my father’s. Neither one has any limescale build-up anymore and I feel better knowing that I’m not breathing in as much rubbish.The distiller is very efficient, creating around 3.5L of distilled water from 4L of tap water. It only takes a few hours and you can see that the distilled water is crystal clear. The equipment is very well made, solid and sturdy, but because of a few bad reviews, I opted for the additional three year breakdown and accidental damage cover for £14.49. I haven’t had any issues with the distiller but the peace of mind of having three years of cover is fantastic and at that price, a steal.I’ve cleaned the device once using the descaler crystals and they worked perfectly. Even the hardened limescale was stripped off and it was like new again.My only criticism is that the instruction manual translation [it’s from China I believe] is very poor and can be a little confusing. Thankfully the product is very basic to use and it’s all self explanatory. A single button activates the distilling cycle and it automatically turns itself off when the jug is full.I paid £22 for 11L of distilled water before buying this distiller and I’ve made 28L myself, with another two loads of 3.5L each being required at the end of the week. The distiller is paying for itself at an incredible rate. At this rate it’ll have paid for itself within four months and then it’s saving me money on expensive distilled water. With the three year cover, I’ve got a few years worth of distilled water I can make at no cost.I highly recommend that people distil their own water for use with CPAP machines, as per the recommendations on all of the CPAP websites. It makes a visible difference and extends the lifespan of your CPAP equipment by preventing limescale build-up. It also helps to prevent rare cases of pneumonia, should your water have mould spores or other nasties.Please see this useful explanation from a water treatment website:’Distillation is one of the oldest methods for creating pure water. Filtered water is heated until it has evaporated, turning into steam. This steam is collected in a sterile container, where it condenses and becomes water again. Because water has a lower boiling point than most contaminants (including minerals), they are left behind when the water turns into steam. The resulting water is, therefore, very pure. In addition, some water is double or triple distilled, with the condensed water being boiled and condensed a second or third time.Organic materials and inorganic minerals are the most common impurities found in water. The organics can typically be removed via filtering methods, including physical filters, carbon filters, and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. After this pre-treatment, the water is sent through a DI system, which contains two types of resin: cation and anion. These two resins attract positive and negative ions, respectively, replacing them with H+ and OH-. H+ combined with OH- becomes H2O – water. The combination of filters and DI resins can remove nearly all contaminants.’I highly recommend this kit. It’s use goes beyond CPAP machines and distilled water is useful for healthcare devices, cosmetic devices, steam irons and more.

   Súper recomendable, la mejor inversión para la salud que debes hacer!

   Encantado con mi destiladora, increíble todo lo dañino que consumimos y que se queda en el fondo de la destiladora! Lástima que no pueda subir el video donde quedan los residuos, incluidas los de las compañías que venden agua en México! Realmente ya ni para lavar las verduras utilizo agua de la llave, uso agua destilada en su caso. En verdad no dejen pasar este producto que debe ser indispensable en todos los hogares!

   29 months in, this distiller is still working great!

   JANUARY 29, 2025 UPDATE:This distiller has now seen 29 months of constant use. During winter, it makes two full 1.6-gallon jugs of distilled water daily. In addition to my CPAP machine’s humidifier, we have three ultrasonic humidifiers that we use exclusively with distilled water, so needless to say, this distiller is kept VERY busy. At this point, we’ve probably saved at least $2000, and quite possibly much more than that, by not having to buy jugs of distilled water. It’s paid for itself many times over.OCTOBER 13, 2024 UPDATE:This distiller is still humming along, 26 months post-purchase. It runs almost daily, sometimes multiple times per day. It has saved me a tremendous amoung of money, both at the cash register – for jugs of distilled water – and by preventing mineral crusting damage on my ultrasonic humifidiers.Note that I have replaced the stock power cord with a 2-foot 14AWG power cord (NEMA 5-15P to IEC-320-C13) after observing that the original cord would get VERY warm at the ends. Since replacing the cord, the ends no longer get warm. Something to consider.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Five months in, this distiller is still working great. We use the water in both my CPAP machine and an ultrasonic humidifier, and it has no problems keeping up with the demand.Some observations and tips:I have the 1.6-gallon unit and it takes 6 hours from power on to completion when cold water is used. If I start with hot tap water, that time is reduced by about an hour. I don’t usually make the full 1.6 gallons, however, since it requires allowing the unit to boil dry (I address this below).The user manual may lead some people to think that the button on the front is a START button that must be pushed to begin the distillation process, but this is not the case. That button is a RESET button, which must be pressed if the unit trips. The user manual assumes that you will allow the unit to run dry each time, thus causing the unit to overheat and trip. And because they assume that you will allow the unit to trip, they also assume that you will be starting each cycle needing to reset that tripped condition.Continuing in that vein, it is my recommendation that you do not allow the unit to run dry. Why not? Because as the water boils out, the mineral content in the boiler is getting more and more concentrated, to the point that what remains is a sort of mineral-rich slurry. This slurry will start to cement itself to the bottom of the boiler in any case, but it is a much worse problem if the unit is allowed to boil dry, making cleaning an even more unpleasant task. Rather than allowing the unit to boil dry, consider buying a digital timer (or even a smart plug), figure out how long it takes to distill 1 to 1.2 gallons, and then use that timer to stop the unit before it can boil dry. Or, if you know you will be at home when the unit has finished creating the amount of distiller water that you want, set a timer on your smart phone and then simply turn the unit off (using the rocker switch on the back of the unit) when the alarm sounds.Be careful with the AC power sockets on the rear of the unit; they are not as sturdy as you might think. There is a fair amount of flex to them and if you don’t handle them gently, you might break a socket. When unplugging the cords from the unit, don’t try to pull the plugs straight out. Instead, simply wiggle the plugs slightly as you gently pull, and work them free that way.Be sure not to get water in the power sockets or switches when filling the boiler. Always check to make sure that everything is dry before plugging the unit back in. When I fill the boiler, I set it in my bathtub with the reset button (front) and power sockets (rear) oriented so that they are not facing the faucet. This way, if any water splashes the electrical bits, it is minimal, and I can just wipe it away quickly with a dry cloth.The stainless steel spout on the upper housing is a bit loose-fitting (or at least it was on my unit). It is a friction fit and doesn’t like to stay in place. You can position it as required, only to have it come loose just by bumping it slightly. It will also come loose if you lift the upper housing that holds the coil and fan. This happens because the tab that holds it in place merely rests on a shallow plastic ridge, and it is held there under minimal tension. The tab, when disturbed, has a tendency to bypass the plastic ridge because of the loose fit, and once that happens you have to remove the entire upper housing and reseat the spout. Very annoying. The solution to improve the fit is to bend the curved stainless steel tab on the spout slightly so that it is a wee bit straighter than its curved, from-the-factory shape. This will elongate it just enough to increase the tension and give it a tighter fit.The cleaning powder that comes with the unit is surprisingly effective. Put an inch or two of water in the unit, add a couple of tablespoons of powder to the water, and let it boil for maybe 15 to 20 minutes with the upper housing removed (and unplugged). Before the cleaning solution has a chance to boil out, power the unit off and use a wooden spoon, a heat-friendly plastic scraper, or a wok brush to further loosen the crud, taking care not to splash yourself with hot water. Then unplug the unit, rinse it out, and then repeat the process as needed. Doing this once a month or so should be sufficient.People have wondered about the tube that is included with the distiller. As far as I can tell, you would use this if you wanted to distill water into containers other than the polycarbonate jug included with the unit. The puzzling thing, though, is that unless you are distilling water into a very short container, you would probably need to elevate the distiller to have the container clear the stainless steel spout. Strange.You will likely grow annoyed with the carbon filter packets. They’re fiddly and they break open, and honestly, depending on your water source, they may not even be necessary. Here’s what one site has to say about them:”There are a couple of contaminants that can convert to gas with water, namely benzene and VOCs. Most distillers use a small activated carbon filter at the spout, which removes these contaminants as water drips down into the holding container.”So, if you are fairly confident that your water is free of these things, and you’re mostly distilling to get rid of minerals that would otherwise leave deposits on expensive equipment, you could probably forego the carbon filters. That’s my situation, so I doubt I will be ordering more.Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and I feel confident that I can recommend it to others. It is a cost-effective way to not have to be dependent on supermarket stock, which I think is even more important now, given that inexpensive “store brand” distilled water isn’t always an option (one national brand is selling for $3/gal).

   Marisa M. – 5 November 2023

   This product came within 2 days of ordering it. It was well packaged and had all the components inside that were supposed to be there, which were a packet with the handle for the collection jug, three charcoal filters plus one already inserted into the spout of the machine, and a small container with the cleaning crystals. The machine works very well and efficiently. The machine is well made, robust and finished off to a high standard. The top inside of the lid of the machine will discolour slightly with a feint mottling, which does not come off with vinegar, but it seems to ahave not gotten any more discoloured so I think it is just a reaction of the metal to the steam that comes through it. I don’t believe this affects the taste of the water in any way.The noise level is certainly quieter than my microwave and it takes 2 hrs and 15 minutes to get approximately 3 litres of pure distilled water if the water is put in already boiled.The cleaning is easy if done after every full distillation, otherwise if you run it even for one time without cleaning it again, the crust of the scale and leftover deposits is much harder to clean off. I personally use neat white vinegar in a spray bottle so that I can squirt the sides directly and leave for a minute then wipe of and rinse it twice. On the bottom of the drum I do the same but leave for 3 minutes and then wipe and rinse thoroughly. Over all I am very pleased with this machine and it does what it is supposed to do.The only thing that was a little bit of a hassle was the way the handle on the collection jug was designed to be put on. The various videos that show the CoZ Distiller, seem to have a different design for attaching the handle of the jug, so this could be a design change that my version did not incorporate. I had to find a way to keep the high tension stainless steel bands that go around the jug to stay put whilst I added the square washer and then placed the handle over both top and bottom bands and then hold it there and screw them in at the same time. I managed it by getting some green plastic gardening wire to hold the ends of the bands in place in order to stop them from springing back. This method worked very well although if you are not good at problem solving you might find it a bit tricky. I think it is good that they have changed the design for assembling this part of the jug.The first two runs of the machine , the water did taste a bit chemically, but I am sure that this was due to the brand new charcoal filters. Now the water is perfect and slightly sweet tasting, and really does not taste of anything nor smell of anything!Overall I am very happy with it and I have now been running it for a week and each day I run it the water tastes perfect. I hope this review is helpful.

   I Highly recommend buying this unit!!

   Ive been using this water distiller for a few months now. I bought because our small town has had 2 boil water alerts in a short time. It has paid for itself over & over again since Summer 2025. I’m so pleased with its size, shape & productivity.
