Intended Use
The MELAdest 65 water distiller produces distilled water.
Functional principle
This practical water distillator produces water of the highest quality in accordance with what represents
one of the oldest methods of water treatment. When the device is activated, the water temperature
increases and escaping gases are boiled, then led through an opening. The water temperature increases
to 100°C and begins to boil. During evaporation, the chemicals, salts and soiling remain in the container.
The stream flows through the cooling coil system in the upper section where it cools and condenses into
distilled water.
