Water distillers require an extended duration to produce one gallon of purified water, generally taking between four to five hours. In contrast, our AquaTru units are capable of filtering one gallon in approximately ten to fifteen minutes.
Furthermore, distillers consume significantly higher amounts of electricity compared to AquaTru units. Specifically, distillers typically utilize 3.2 kilowatts per gallon, resulting in an electricity cost of approximately $0.38 per gallon. Conversely, AquaTru units consume only 0.01 kilowatt per gallon, translating to a cost of $0.001 per gallon.
Most importantly, distillers are ineffective in removing volatile organic compounds such as benzene and disinfection byproducts that are frequently present in tap water. The VOC carbon filter incorporated in AquaTru units is designed to eliminate these contaminants.
