More Pictures of Rain CrystalTM  These water distillers come with a standard screw type water heater element - 1000 watts 120 volts. (also available with 240 volt element) They normally use about 4 gallons per hour water flow for cooling condensing glass coil and boiler flow. These units will produce a gallon of water in approximately 3 hours, which is 8 gallons per day. (3 kwH per gallon of distilled water) The Ideal setup would be a home with a water softening system, timed for recharge when distiller is not in use, as calcium and minerals in hard water will cake in the boiling chamber, requiring periodic cleaning with a solvent. A water softener replaces ionically, calcium and other hard minerals with the soft mineral sodium, which is recharged with the softener salt (sodium chloride) used to recharge the water softener. Thus the Rain CrystalTM needs no mineral cleaning as long as the water is kept soft.

Why Use the

to Distill Drinking Water?

Only the Rain Crystal^TM offers full spectrum water purification which addresses every pollution problem in a consistently effective, one-step process. The Rain Crystal^TM is water cooled, scientifically designed to assure removal of volatile chemical contaminants, and made from inert Pyrex^R glass to eliminate the metallic contamination that can be caused by stainless steel. The Rain Crystal^TM is the only laboratory quality distillation apparatus available for home use. Because it is compact and uses readily available electrical components, the Rain Crystal^TM costs less than half the price of comparable lab quality devices.

The clear Pyrex^R components of the Rain Crystal^TM make the distillation process strikingly observable. Protected and complete within its bronze-colored Plexiglas^R case, the Rain Crystal^TM produces the purest of drinking water without requiring any additional supplies, year after year.

The compact Rain Crystal^TM, no larger than most automatic coffee makers, arrives completely assembled in its Plexiglas^R case, Automatic and portable, the Rain Crystal^TM is easy to use. Simply plug it into a standard outlet, attach it to a water faucet by means of the quick-fit coupling provided, set the medical-quality flowmeter, and walk away with the assurance that the purest of water is being automatically produced at a fraction of the cost of bottled water. Should the water pressure fail, the Burnout Protection Switch eliminates malfunction.

Only the Rain Crystal^TM provides the purest water with the utmost convenience. This handcrafted appliance is attractive and unobtrusive, and it assures years of trouble-free operation. For those who desire pure drinking water, the Rain Crystal^TM is clearly the best solution.
 
 
 

" . . . We are, unfortunately, in a position in which we have to use technology to rectify the problems caused by technology . . . "

Any quality water distiller will remove most solids, salts, nitrates, bacteria and even heavy metals. Most water distillers on the market today require activated carbon filtration to remove organic chemicals, but the filters deteriorate with use, "dumping" stored chemicals into the purified water if not regularly replaced. In addition, some contaminants boil at a lower temperature than water. These may rise and condense with the steam, tainting the purified water. Holes in the condensing coil don't do much but waste steam. Any stainless steel distiller has a strong likelihood of actually adding metallic contaminants; some other distillers add plastic residues.

The Rain Crystal^TM, in contrast, uses a two-stage system to remove disease-causing biological, mineral and chemical contaminants. First, cooling water is circulated through the condensing coil (A), warming to nearly boiling temperature. Dissolved gas bubbles appear in the coil and are discharged into the reservoir (B), either escaping here or discharged (C) to the drain. In the second stage, some chemicals left after step one may rise with the steam to be vented (F) from the condensing chamber (D), while others remain in the boiler (E) to be washed down the drain with minerals and other heavy contaminants. Test results reveal better than 98% removal of toxic wastes on a consistent basis, without carbon filtration.

For water of unsurpassed purity, for scientific engineering, for attractive trouble-free design, the Rain Crystal^TM is the answer year after year after year.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR TAP WATER?

Pesticides, fertilizers and industrial pollution enter our water as it cycles through the environment. As water moves through the atmosphere and ground, it acts like a large sponge and picks up mineral, chemical and gaseous pollutants. To find water that has not been affected by pollution finds us drilling deeper and deeper wells. This water has been under ground a long time and contains heavy mineral contents. These minerals are not in balance with those found in the human blood stream, and can cause or aggrevate health problems such as bladder stones, arthritis and hardening of the arteries to mention a few.

We can not separate ourselves from the earth or our water. The quality of that water will have a direct effect on our health over the years or faster under severe conditions. To insure our chances for better health we must take steps to prevent polluting our own bodies with the water we drink.

WATER SOFTENERS ARE GREAT FOR CLOTHES BUT DO NOT REMOVE POLLUTION! 

HOW EFFECTIVE ARE WATER FILTERS OVER 3 YEARS? *Tests performed on Philadelphia water by Water Test Corp. 1983 *Filter container materials appear to contaminate filtered water when cartridge is new. Activated carbon filters remove some chemical contaminants only. Salts and dissolved metals are not extracted. Reverse osmosis is a microfiltration system which is partially efective for most pollutants including salts. These filters become less effective with use. Individual cartridges vary widely in capabilities.

 DISTILLERS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE CHART.
