I wrote a guide on my site on water, filtration, etc. I’ve come to exact same conclusions, DW is far superior and consistent.Did you read my article or listen to my podcast?
how about all that plastic the water runs through in RO, including the membrane its self, not to mention the plastic lining in the holding tank. How about the materials, adhesives and other manufacturing impurities of the filters themselves? The purer the water the more it leeches out what it touches. Ever tasted store bought distilled water? it literally tastes like pure plastic. Both fluoride and chlorine are not completely removed by RO considering one can literally taste/ smell the chlorine in the final product, now your 5 stage may be different but thats not really pure RO anymore is it... its RO plus 4 other filtration methods. RO tests are done with brand new filters and the performance falls off immediately after use. Distillers dont fall off in performance unless never cleaned of scale with simple vinegar.
The little carbon filter isnt a big deal on distillers, its not even really needed as most of the VOCs escape from vents pre condensation and it never boils dry so the contaminants never go above boiling temp, which is in its self a purification method, in the distillation industry these are called the tops and bottoms. Their numerous test results are very impressive and provided on their website. The small carbon filter is small becuase most if not all of the VOCs are gone by the time it touches the carbon. When gasses are heated even if heavier than air will rise, simply because they are hot.
The distiller is completely stainless steel and made in the US, Ive had mine for a decade and many people have had them for 30+ years thats why they cost that much. Id like to remind you that the filter being promoted on this thread is $2,000...
Many of the people who debated with me over the years went to distillation, especially recently when companies werent able to source the filters needed for their RO systems because of supply chain issues. With a distiller if you have electricity , you have pure water. I even have fire powered distillers that work well. I used to drink and use RO from a store who kept up with the replacements religiously I felt like crap on it and got chlorine sensitivity symtpoms. I got my own RO system, 3 stage... same thing. After tasting distilled id never go back, its almost sweet tasting and very slippery like Fiji water but without silica. Distillation also reduces deuterium which ive never seen another filtration system do.
Curious about your deuterium depletion claim, do have any links to that? I’ll have to look into it.
