Default Thrift shop distiller $9


What is the motivation to use a distiller if you have a city water
supply?

Also, is this unit really an option instead of a water-maker for
anchored sail-boats away from city water?
How does it compare at 4 gallons for 500 watts X 24 hours compared to
a water-maker?

Or is it really just for cleaning up the fresh water from your tank
before ingesting?

I doubled my distiller capacity this morning from a find in a local
thrift shop I frequent. This model sells at Sears for $99, on sale if
you'd like a great distiller at a good price. I paid $9 for it with the
usual broken boiler seal.
