I have already bought a 50 ft roll of 3/8 th inch copper
tubing , but Im wondering if stainless steel tubing would be better.
I have already built a distiller out of a aluminum pressure
cooker and the copper tube that I used for the condenser was
not long enough (11 ft) to allow time to fully condensate the steam
so , that's why I bought the 50 ft roll. LOL
ie... mostly steam came out of the tube...
my next attempt will be with a stainless steel pressure cooker.
I have looked at a stainless steel tea pot , but I decided
it would require to much modification.
I also have plans to build a distiller that does not have any type of container that holds any large volume of water.
it will be a pressure connection to the city water supply and
will drip water into a coiled stainless steel tube !!! that is heated using electricity or gas.
I currently buy apx 8 gallons of distilled water a week.
I expect to save a good bit of money and feel better about
what I drink.
I don't think I would want to use any cork as cork would
allow bacteria to become a problem.
I have seen the glass distillers that are for lab use
and they are expensive and they just look fragile , I want something that will be sturdy but I also want it to be effective.
you can coil copper tubing by filling it with sand
before you coil it , but you still have to be careful
about collapsing it.
