Purification

Distillation is an ancient purification technique involving the boiling of a liquid into vapor form. As the vapors rise from the liquid surface they separate from any solids that may be held in solution. The vapors are then condensed in a separate vessel producing a liquid in pure form.


Fuller Life's distillation method is unique because of the special evaporator/condenser core plates used in Superstill technology. The plates allow water to be distilled at a very gentle boil and under the amazingly low pressure of near normal atmosphere. Also the plates cause the vapor to travel under laminar flow conditions (water vapor travels in a controlled manner in extremely thin spread out layers. The increased surface area during evaporation gives the water ample opportunity to leave behind all contaminates. The low pressure necessary for distillation (~1 atm) also means contaminates are less likely to escape to the pure side than would be under the high pressure turbulent conditions of conventional distillers. The combination of more opportunity to remove contaminants with less chance of escape explains why Fuller Life Water is superior to other distillation methods). The water is purified further by two degassing units, one before and one after distillation. The degassers remove any dissolved gasses from the water such as volatile organic chemicals which otherwise would travel as vapor through the conventional distillation process. The combination of these two processes yield water which is always reliably pure.


Ozone is added as the last step in our process.  Ozone (O3) is a special active form of oxygen (O2) that occurs naturally in the upper atmosphere or can be produced by exposing oxygen to high-voltage electrical discharges. Ozone is now widely used as a replacement for chlorine which has been found to form carcinogens (cancer causing agents). Besides killing bacteria, ozone also destroys viruses and parasites more effectively than does chlorine. And best of all, ozone dissipates quickly (about 24 hrs) so you receive only pure, highly oxygenated water.
