• Do not use on stove-top burner, under heating elements, in microwave or conventional

ovens.

Electrical Requirements

The AquaSource ADWS6 must be plugged directly into a fully grounded outlet.

The AquaSource ADWS6 will use approximately 8 amps when operating, so isolate a 10
amp fuse or circuit breaker for the unit.

The Use of Extension Cords

An extension cord is not recommended. However, an extension cord may be used if care is
exercised.

If an extension cord is used:

a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should exceed the electrical rating of

the AquaSource ADWS6 (see the specifications on back of the unit).

b. The extension cord must be a three-pin grounded type.

c. The extension cord should not be placed under carpet or left where persons may trip over it.

d. Do not overload extension cord with other power consumers.

How Distillation And Your Distiller Work

Return To Table of Contents

Nature has a way to produce pure water from contaminated sea water (1). When the sun rises
in the morning, it starts to heat the surface of the ocean (2). The heat causes molecules or
pure water to escape from the surface of the ocean (3) and rise to form clouds (4). When the
conditions are right, (5) the clouds cannot hold any moisture and water falls to earth as rain
(6). The rain collects in rivers, lakes and reservoirs and is available for drinking (7).

THE AQUASOURCE WAY...

A distiller operates the same way. Water
is taken into a boiling chamber (1)
where heat is applied (2). The water
boils and water molecules (steam) rise
(3). The steam enters the condenser (4)
where cool air (5) causes the steam to
lose energy and it forms droplets of
pure water (6). This water is collected
and is fresh, great-tasting, distilled
drinking water (7) - the purest kind.
