Basically, it turns the water into steam and then condenses it back into water. Everything not pure is left behind, as only the water molecules become the steam. Water actually doesn't " like " to be pure, so it will pull minerals and stuff out of whatever it is in .... which is why you do NOT want to put it in metal. The ceramic water dispenser will be perfect. The other thing about distilled water is both great and something to be careful of: it will pull " stuff " out of your body. In the short term, that is great, as the " stuff " it pulls are toxins, etc. Whenever I get sick, I immediately switch to distilled water. But drinking only distilled water for a long time can eventually start to pull out minerals and other " stuff " that you need. It doesn't sound like you plan on drinking it exclusively, only at the office, so it should be a really good thing for you. I've frequently used it in my KT without any problems. I'm trying to find the person who said they use Prill ( won't actually let me log into my account and I may have already deleted the email) ... I just ordered some online last night but I'd like to ask you some more questions. Can you contact me? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Searches I've done....now I want to hear from people I interact with...what are their results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well I just purchased some Prill Beads off Ebay, two pounds. That was the best buy I could find. Will they work? Don't know, but I'm always open to experiments. Do I think they can work at restructuring water? No, restructuring water takes much more that soaking beads in it. What is the blue color they give off while soaking? Could it be radiation? Don't know just asking, I will play with them when I get them. My thought is, they work because people think they will. Now I leave the option to change my mind open.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 See, your my kind of person. Question it all...don't follow blindly! I'd like to hear from someone that has tested water before and after and can tell us this is the difference they made!  I am with you on the blue color! As cautious as i am about what I put in my body I'd certainly be questioning that one! ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi Jim, Just thought I would jump in here. I have been using Prill beads for years and never saw a blue glow. Where is that mentioned? I got mine from http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/prod_prill.htm I don't pretend to be an expert or to advise others. I am simply mentioning this as a product I use and have been pleased with the results. I like the taste. If anyopne in this group wants info I would suggest phoning the owner of Life enthusiast and speak with . He will answer all your questions. He answered mine.............

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Several places while I was doing google searches refered to a blue glow given off by the beads, if you are one of the people able to see it. Being involved in the water business most of my life, when people start talking water, I start asking questions. Not that there is anything wrong with Prill Beads, I just wanted to know more. And I prefer to get my information from someone not selling them. Many of the Prill sites I looked at were almost a copy and paste of the information on the life-enthusiast site. My thoughts are if Prill Beads did as they claim every water treatment plant in the country would be using them. Regardless of what people think, water treatment plants don't like to use all the chemicals to produce their water, if it could be done another way they would.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hello Fellow Brewer's. Reading this I was reminded of the Blue Bloods who turned blue from all the silver they ate off - drank from.. The colloidal silver blue guy. Anyway, I use distilled water for my Kombucha. A couple years ago I purchased a Sears Kenmore distiller for like $80-. I add liquid minerals at times to my drinking water but not my Kombucha water. During the summer I put the newly distilled water in a glass jar and put out in the sun for 24hrs. which makes it taste really wonderful.. (w/o liquid mins) Now to my inquiry. There are old timer folks who put a silver dollar in there water crock which is similiar to the colloidal silver application/theory. There is some wonderment how GT's brews - maybe in stainless vats ? I started my original scoby from a GT's and it is The Best tasting brew... I also have another scoby from a list member and the taste doesn't compare to my GT's..which is really disappointing because they are prepared the same way.. The scoby is just different. So... I'm kind of wondering what the liquid minerals and/or the silver in the water would do to the brew ? What metal contact/content would create.. I know... give it a try and keep us posted right ? O.k. will do. P- ============= > Several places while I was doing google searches refered to a blue glow > given off by the beads, if you are one of the people able to see it.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Since I don't use the silver dollar in my water I won't be trying it anytime soon... but I will..

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I agree that Prill beads are not going to be the miracle the sellers want you to believe. But for $6 (including shipping) I figured they were worth experimenting with. Mine arrived in 2 days and I now have them soaking overnight. Tomorrow I am having a house warming party ... and in addition to a Kombucha tasting bar, I am planning on doing blind taste tests with the Prill water, Brita water and tap water. We'll see how the results stack up. Oh, and my beads are not glowing blue or any other color, for that matter. Don't think I'd drink the water after if they did! -- Raise money for Rancho 3M just by searching the Internet or shopping online with GoodSearch - www.goodsearch.com - powered by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Has anyone done this, made their own distilled water to use. Reading the reviews of one at Amazon.com, people say it uses a lot of electricity but after process there is alot of 'gunk' left over..concerns me. Of course I should know that would be true. It empties it into glass container which is nice but takes five hours to make a gallon. I guess one just puts trace minerals or a little sea salt it it afterwards to replace minerals. Has anyone done this, and recommends it? I don't feel confident of a source of water w all the chemicals everyone is pouring down the drain anymore and medicines they take going into the water supply. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_26?url=search-alias%3Daps & field-keyword\ s=water+distiller+countertop & sprefix=water+distiller+countertop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
