Water Distillers

Water Distillers

A copper water distiller uses evaporation and condensation to separate water from many dissolved solids and other nonvolatile substances. CopperHolic's traditional alembic format is reusable, contains no disposable filter cartridge, and is available in three capacities for different batch needs.

Finished-water suitability depends on the source water, operation, cleaning, collection vessel, and storage. For drinking, infant-feeding, medical-device, or laboratory uses, follow the relevant equipment or public-health guidance and use appropriate testing.

Learn how the process works in our home water-distillation guide, then use the copper still size guide to compare capacities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a copper water distiller work?

Water is heated in the copper pot, the steam rises through the swan neck and condenses in the coil, and the condensed water is collected. Evaporation and condensation separate the water from many dissolved solids and other nonvolatile substances.

Is the distilled water safe to drink?

Finished-water suitability depends on the source water, operation, cleaning, collection vessel, and storage. For drinking, infant-feeding, medical-device, or laboratory uses, follow the relevant equipment or public-health guidance and use appropriate testing.

Which size should I choose for distilled water?

The 5 litre is compact equipment for smaller test batches. The 5 gallon gives more volume per run while staying manageable at home, so fewer runs for a household supply. The 10 gallon is for larger workloads with dedicated operating space. Compare them in the size guide.

Are there filters or cartridges to replace?

No. The alembic is reusable copper with no disposable filter cartridge. Our home water-distillation guide explains the process and routine cleaning.
