Any water distiller you buy at Walmart or wherever will work fine.
All of the deposits end up in the distiller and the you can clean the distiller out with CLR or other cleaners.
It is more money up front, but in the long run it may be cheaper.
I've had mine for about 10 years. Got it for drinking water.

Not supposed to drink distilled water, your body needs the minerals in real water, but not the lead. Jim

The idea that drinking distilled water is dangerous is 95% medical quackery type nonsense. Unless you're drinking exclusively distilled water or have some really weird diet, you'll get all the minerals you need from other food or drink.

Edit - let me throw in one caveat. Don't drink distilled, reverse osmosis, or deionized water from any source not intended for human consumption, like for instance, from an industrial operation. There might be some sort of chemical or contamination in the process that is OK in the industrial operation, but not OK for humans to drink. Also remember that distillation removes minerals, but can actually increase the concentration of some chemicals. That is, for instance, how they turn wine into liquor.

I heard of a person that could turn water into wine, but you could really see what he could do to fishes. Jim

Actually, I make my own beer. It is very worth the effort and much less expensive than buying "craft beer". For my brewing setup, I use RO water because I'm on a well for water. I purchased a gallon of distilled water, but once that runs out, I'll use the container to refill it with RO water for the CPAP.

Wouldn't want to waste the distilled water 80 cents a gallon is so costly. Jim

I agree, distilled is so cheap it is a no brainer. A gallon should last a long time. I was mostly responding to posters who said making your own beer was a waste of time. I find it economical and I can make much better beer than what you typically find in most people's homes. Currently, I have five taps flowing! One of the benefits is having lots of RO water around.

Only if you bottle it too soon, a friend of mine did, blew up 8 cases. I like drinking good well water, i'd rather have my beer made with good well water. Jim
