How well does your distiller work on distilling from salt water?

Taking a challenge from a local RO dealer, I put one gallon of seawater out
of the Ashley River into my simple Sears countertop distiller. There was
no salt taste, whatsoever in the distilled water. It was about 6ppm on the
meter and we both drank the water.

However, you'd have to clean the pot every time you did it, of course,
which you don't have to do but once a month to get the calcium deposits out
from our tap water. The pot is stainless steel and seemed unharmed by the
boiling seawater.
