This is NOT a water distiller
Very Important (Please read):
We are based in Canada. Shipping from Canada to the USA & International destinations is relatively expensive. We therefore base our shipping rates on shipping from Point Roberts, WA state (USA) so that buyers will enjoy a lower shipping rate. We ship only once every two weeks (normally Tuesdays) by sending the items over the Canada-USA border to ship from Point Roberts WA. We may sometimes do an extra shipping in between the scheduled 2-weekly shipping so your order may ship either immediately or in any case within 14 days of your order (If you are in a real hurry to get this product and cannot afford to wait, please do not buy from us). Delivery time is normally within 6/8/10 days for the west coast/central region/east coast; and 25 days for international destinations. Please understand our particular shipping situation and give us 5-stars on our DSRs (detailed seller ratings) including shipping time. Feel free to contact us for our next shipping date. Thank you!

Electrical Safety & Approvals for the MegaHome MH943 distillers:
UL (North America), CE (Europe), GS (Germany), CB (IECEE: covers 55 countries)
Note: Our water distiller possesses at least two of the above electrical approvals. We have a special "Triple safety" feature: Thermal switch AND thermal fuse based on two different electrical cutoff principles (thermal switches can fail "silently" and cause an electrical fire, but a thermal fuse as a second line of defence will ALWAYS work, should a real or potentially serious problem occurs). UL approval is essential if the distiller is used in the USA. Furthermore, the body of our distiller is made of metal (both interior and exterior), unlike some other brands whose exterior is made of a cheaper composite (flammable) ABS plastic material.
Warranty & Extra Carbon Filters:
Two (2) year parts & labour warranty. 3/6 extra months warranty if an extra 24/48-pack of
carbon filter sachets is purchased at an extra $24/$48 (No additional shipping
fee - After purchasing the distiller, let us know how many extra filters you
need).
This extra warranty is the manufacturer's
international comprehensive warranty (all electrical & non-electrical parts
& labour) offered through us as one of their authorized dealers/service
centre. Unlike most
other sellers, we pay for the return shipping* if the distiller is within the
warranty period (*Canada & USA only). We are able to offer this superb
warranty because of the very low repair rates we recorded of this quality water
distiller manufactured by MegaHome Corporation of Taiwan. Furthermore, all
gaskets used in this distiller are warrantied for 10 years (In fact, there has
never been any replacements required by customers in the past: see Q & A
below on this distiller gasket for more information). For customers
outside Canada/USA, our warranty will include remote troubleshooting by phone,
email and video, as well as shipping of any needed repair parts to save the
customer’s expense of shipping the distiller back to us. PRINT this listing
description as your detailed proof of warranty (Most other sellers do not
even mention details of their warranty!)
Replacement
parts:
If this distiller ever goes
wrong, there is no need to buy a new distiller right away.
Simply contact us and our technical staff will email you a troubleshooting
guide. MegaHome Corporation in Taiwan is one of the world's largest manufacturers
of countertop distillers. We are their official North American
distributor and carry the full range of replacement parts and
accessories. The distiller is modular in design and practically needs no
in-store servicing. Most problems simply require a simple part
replacement which we will ship to you free of charge (if within the warranty
period). If you do choose to ship back to us for repair, you may ship
to one of our three locations: Burnaby BC, Richmond Hill ON or Point
Roberts WA.
Responsibility
Towards the Environment:
When you
pay for this distiller, we will email you a shipping notification containing,
at the bottom of it, infomation we compiled which provides you with
useful information on how to save on heating or cooling energy on your
premises when using a water distiller. If you do not find this info,
please email us.
Customer Testimonial:
We have bought 5 distillers over the years. Some only lasted a year to 13 months, always after the warranty had expired. This is to let you know that we are very happy and satisfied with the Model MH943SBS. The stainless steel exterior is far easier to keep clean than the white enameled ones, plus the stainless steel interior cleans with vinegar the best of any we purchased before.
We're glad we found your impressive internet site and thanks to Ecopure Water, and the 2 year warranty.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Note:
We
do not provide instructions on distilling essential oils or alcohol. This
dual water/essential oils distiller is meant to be used by already experienced
users if used for distilling substances other than water. You need to
obtain the proper way to use such a distiller through other channels.
Q1: What should I look for when buying
a water distiller? A: You should look for:
- detailed warranty policy, including:
are all parts & labour covered throughout the warranty period?
- detailed return/repair policy,
including: who pays for the shipping?
- non-flammable distiller body
- USA/Canada electrical safety
approvals
- availabililty of repair parts
- Better Business Bureau rating and
complaints history of the seller (search by their phone number or business
name)
Q2: Are other prong types and voltages available? A: Please note "Specifications" for the model on this listing. We have 120V (Canada/USA prong type), 230/240V France/Italy/Germany prong type OR the 240V UK prong type OR the 240V Austrialia/NZ prong type (with an Australia/NZ adapter at an extra $5).Q3: Do you have the model with
stainless steel exterior, black top and what are the differences between the
white exterior and stainless steel exterior models? (Ignore Q.3 if the
listing is already for the model with stainless steel exterior/black top) A: Yes,
please see our other listing. The only difference is in the material and
colour of the exterior. The stainless steel exterior is much easier to
keep clean as well as rust-proof in the long term. If you are living near
the sea with salty air, you should purchase Model SBS, otherwise it is your
personal choice.
Q4: What is a
"temperature-controlled" water distiller that's on the market?
A: This so-called temperature-controlled distiller is actually of no use
as a water distiller. It is a sleazy (and likely illegal) way of selling
an alcohol distiller (normally selling for about $200), which can only be sold
by government-licensed vendors. Alcohol distillation in the home is
dangerous (because alcohol fumes are highly flammable), and is illegal in many
countries. The buyer of any alcohol distiller shall be held fully
responsible for the safety of the premises on which alcohol distillation takes
place.
Q5: Does your water distiller remove
fluoride? A: Yes - Distillation heats water until it turns to steam.
The steam travels through a condenser coil where it is cooled and returned to
liquid. The F- remains in the boiler section. Generally, distillation for F-
removal is considered a POU process. Contact us if you need further detailed
scientific info.
Q6: Will water distillation remove radioactive fallout? A: Yes, but with limitations - You will find relevant information on the web using search terms: distillation, radioactive, fallout
Q7: Will the distiller rubber gaskets need frequent replacement? A: No. The gaskets are made to last years without the need for changing. We've never had any requests for replacements in the past. We are offering a 10-year warranty on all distiller gaskets (with free shipping) to show our confidence in the gaskets' reliability. Print a copy of this listing description as proof of your warranty. Please note that, when cleaning your distiller, the rubber gasket must not be moved and should be positioned correctly, otherwise steam will escape from the gap into the air in the room and you may think that the distiller is faulty.
Q8: Does your warranty cover electrical
parts as well? A: Our warranty (if applicable to this listing) covers
all parts including electrical parts (Beware: Some other distiller models sold
by other sellers offer 30 days only for electrical parts). If any problem
ever happens (which is very seldom), contact us and we will email you the
troubleshooting instructions. Most parts are modular and easily
replaceable, and do not require in-shop servicing.
Q9: Do you have a glass storage
bottle version? (Ignore this question if the listing is already for a
model with glass bottle) A: Yes! A very elegant glass bottle with
easy-to-clean wide top and an ergonomic handle is available as an additional
option (subject to availability). If you win this auction (or buy
through Buy-It-Now or Best Offer), you may pay extra to switch
to a designer glass bottle. Glass is no doubt the best
container for distilled water. However, if you don't want to buy the more
expensive glass bottle model, you may simply transfer the water
immediately after the distillation cycle from the plastic collector bottle to a
glass jug (with a cover) and store it in a fridge.
Q10: Do I need to clean the boiling
chamber after every cycle? A: The boiling chamber does not need
cleaning every time - It needs some light rinsing every few cycles (which is
very easy to do), and needs a more thorough cleanout only when there is
significant buildup of scale or other impurities.
Q11: Where are your distillers made
in? A: They're made by MegaHome Corporation in Taiwan, one of the largest
water distiller manufacturers in the world. Other eBay selller's
distillers may be made by some unknown factory in China even though they may be
misleadingly branded as "American".
Q12: Where can I get extra carbon
filters and distiller cleaner for the distiller? A: From us of
course - We will inform you of our eStore address for your future orders when
you purchase from us. We sell internationally and have been in business
since 1996.
Q13: I'm Canadian, do I need to pay
extra in GST/PST/HST? A: There are no extras in taxes -
All taxes and shipping insurance are included/ absorbed in the shipping
fee if delivered anywhere in Canada.
Q14: Why is your shipping to Canada as
expensive as shipping to the USA? A: For Canadians, we absorb the
following in the shipping fee: Bulk shipping from the USA to Canada; all
applicable sales taxes (GST/PST/HST), import duty (2.5%),
shipping insurance, and customs brokerage charges.
Q15: Do you allow local pick up?
A: Local pick up is not allowed, as we need to assign a staff member
to wait in-store (which is a very expensive arrangement), especially when a
buyer arrives late, or simply doesn't show up and asks for re-scheduling.
Q16: Consumer education information:
There is one eBay seller criticizing and disparaging other sellers of water
distillers - Is it true what he is saying? A: There are
truths, half-truths and untruths that he said (For instance, his
distillers are branded as "American", but most models that he carried
are not made in the USA). We cannot comment specifically on each,
but reading his listing and being told his horses drink ONLY distilled
water should be enough to put you on the alert about other things he
tells you. Problems for those very cheap distillers may surface after
one year of use when the warranty expires.
Q17: May I become a Distributor? A: Yes
- but you will need to buy at least one of our distillers at retail price
before we will answer any of your distributorship enquiries. If we accept
your application eventually, we will credit you with the price difference.
Please note that your first purchase as a Distributor will have to be at
least 2 distiller units or your Distributorship will be revoked. We also
drop-ship for our Distributors directly to their customers with the
Distributor's name and contact information displayed on the shipping label.
