Distilled water
Milli-Q water
Distilled water has too many trace organics—even when triple distilled. Also inorganics, particles, and if you store it, bugs! But a Milli-Q™system will always deliver the purity you need, on demand at your point of use. It removes dissolved organics by carbon adsorption; dissolved inorganics by ion-exchange; and particles and microorganisms by 0.22 micron Millipore membrane filtration. Maintenance is just a disposable cartridge change. You can use your still to feed the Milli-Q. But our Milli-RO™ reverse osmosis system is more dependaable, more economical, and like the Milli-Q maintenance free. Why not have the water purity you need, consistently? A Milli-Q/Milli-RO combination costs far less to operate than a still. Call 800-225-1380 toll free for a copy of our descriptive bulletin. (In Canada 800-261-0961; in Mass. 617-275-9200.)
