I enjoy reading the information you share for our benefit. Please tell me what you think of WaterWise water distillers. I can't afford the Aquanui and they are twice the cost of the WaterWise. Thank you for your time and your opinion.

If you are comparing the Chinese-made, plastic countertop water distiller that WaterWise sells to the US-made, stainless steel one that AquaNui sells, yes, WaterWise is half the price. But you get what you pay for. The larger systems are much more competitively priced, even though the WaterWise units are made in China and the AquaNui ones are higher quality and made in the USA. You get what you pay for. A good water distiller is something that can be something that lasts your entire life. On a final note, if you are interested in a small countertop distiller, I have a slightly used one that I gave to my son when he moved out and he used it two times. I could give you it for quite a discount. Let me know.

I apologize for not expounding further... in years past we had the WaterWise counter distiller and used it until the bottom literally melted. My husband and I only drink distilled water and buy 12 cases/72 gallons about every 5-6 weeks. We were looking at the Waterwise 7000/8-Gallon Automatic Distiller regularly priced at $2,279.00 but on sale for $1,767.00... which is out of stock. We lost our home to fire 16 months ago and are impatiently waiting for the final permit to be approved so we can begin the process of rebuilding. Thank you for the offer for a countertop unit, but our rental is 1/2 the size of our home and there is no available counter space in the tiny kitchen. When we move back into our new home we will have a place for a stand-alone unit that would handle several gallons ~ we each drink about 1 to 1-1/2 gallons a day, so running the countertop 24/7 would not work. I do like the idea that the AquaNui are made in the USA. This is not something that our insurance would cover so the cost will be out-of-pocket. I would love to hear more thoughts on the distillers. Back before the fire, we were starting our 'prepping' and bought your emergency water distiller and recovered it from the fire, but we haven't tried it yet to see if all the components are working. That's my husband's job........ 'nuff said. LOL. Thanks for your thoughts!

If you are looking at the larger products, I don't think there is much of a price difference, and the AquaNui products are much better.

Thank you so very much!!! I will share all our email communications with my husband and then we can start saving for the distiller. We have to be in our rebuilt home before November 1 of this year or our insurance won't pay any further rent for us... it runs out at 2 years.

Take care and look for good things to smile about,

Dawn
