Those are good points. I don't have a distiller yet but do have a water filter that is suppose to reduce deposits in the water so I was thinking that when I get a distiller, I would fill it with filtered water (which is cold) that I had stored in extra jugs (which would be at room temperature). I like the sun idea too.
Does anyone see any fallacy in this idea. I was thinking it would reduce the buildup in the distiller. I live in the country and have well water. It is very hard water.
