Living in an older building with pipes that could only be described as "aged", I've always wanted a reverse osmosis system installed to improve upon the usual Brita/Pur pitchers we already use. But being a renter, installing a system can be expensive and we'd have to get sign off from our landlord to alter the plumbing. This tabletop filtration solution isn't cheap, but it's a convenient option for purifying tap water by first turning it into steam, converting it back to liquid, and then filtering it one more time through a carbon filter for a 99% reduction of "inorganic and radiological contaminants". The process takes about 4 hours, and up to 6 gallons of drinking water can be made a day, so we could imagine filling up one of those larger water storage bottle for use throughout the week.

I just put in a 40 gpd RO unit in for about $150. It was easy to install and makes great tasting (and safe) drinking water. Only downsid to RO is that they wast water in the process.
I've actually used one of these distillers for 6 years now. It works great and the water is actually amazing. I had a friend compare it to "fiji" Bottled water.
Some of my friends dislike the taste because it is so pure. They are used to the minerals and additives in tap or well water.
