Use and Care of the Water Container
Return To Table of Contents
To ensure proper performance and a lifetime of trouble-free service, please read the following
information on general use and care of the water container:
• Do not use on stove-top burner, under heating elements, in microwave or conventional
ovens.
• Do not store hot liquids nor food in water container.
• Freezer-safe.
• Do not place base in dishwasher. Lid: Dishwasher safe, top rack only.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils.
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.
This unit operates on 110V, 60 cycles, or as otherwise specified on the back of the distiller.
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).
NATURE’S DISTILLATION CYCLE...

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.

Component Identification:
Boiling Chamber (1). The manually-filled stainless steel boiling chamber
holds one gallon of water when filled to the proper level.
Water Level Indicator (2). A small rod which extends down inside the
boiling chamber. The boiling chamber should be filled to touch the bottom of
this indicator.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfill.
Heating Element (3). The 750-watt heating element provides the heat to boil
the water in the boiling chamber.

Lid (4). The lid is constructed of heavy-gauge stainless steel and has a
Return To Table of Contents
special gasket and handle which tightens to seal.
Door (5). The hinged stainless steel door improves the look of the unit and
serves an important safety role. DO NOT open the door until the unit has
stopped distilling for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Condenser (6). A hollow, finned stainless steel tube where the steam from
the boiling chamber is collected and cooled by the air from the fan. The steam is
converted into high-purity drinking water. At the top portion of the condensing
coil there are two small holes. These are gas vents to allow volatile compounds
to escape.
Fan (7). An electrical fan which works automatically to provide a flow of air
across the outside of the condenser.
Filter (8). Before the distilled water flows into the drinking water container, it
passes through a carbon filter pack to polish the taste of the water.
Filter Housing (9). An FDA approved food-grade housing designed to slide
into the guides in the distiller and holds the carbon filter pack.
Drinking Water Container (10). This FDA-approved food-grade PET
plastic container collects the distilled water. It is equipped with a spigot for
ease of use.
Power Switch (11). The power switch is located on the front of the unit. It is
a 3-position switch. The top position is ON, and when pushed and released, it
automatically resets to the center for operation. The bottom position is OFF.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Return To Table of Contents
With proper care on your part, your AquaSource ADWS6 will provide you with high-quality
water for many trouble-free years.
The following recommendations are for typical water conditions. If you live in an area where
the water quality is exceptionally poor, you may need to increase the frequency of our care.
• Maintenance
Every Batch:
• Swirl and rinse out the residual water from the boiling chamber (1).
Monthly, or every 30 gallons:
• Clean the inside of the boiling chamber (1) to remove any build-up of solid
residues. (See Cleaning below).
Every 3 months:
• Replace the carbon filter, stock #45518. (See page 9).
• Clean the exterior with Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish, stock #6606.
• Cleaning
Cleaning the Exterior:
Use Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (stock #6606) and follow instructions.
Cleaning the Boiling Chamber:
Sometimes scale will build up inside the boiling chamber. This needs to be removed
periodically to ensure good heating element life, and high-quality water.
Note: If you rinse the boiling chamber every time you fill it, you will rarely get
build-up of scale inside the boiling chamber, and will rarely have to clean it.
To Clean the Boiling Chamber:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
2. If the unit has been operating, allow it to cool for 30 minutes from the end of the
distillation cycle.
3. Carefully remove the boiling chamber from the unit.
CAUTION: The boiling chamber will get hot and could cause a burn if the unit has not
been allowed to cool.
4. Remove the boiling chamber lid (4).
5. Drain any residual water inside the boiling chamber (1).
6. Fill the boiling chamber to the water level indicator (2).
™
7. Add Lumen

Replacing the Carbon Filter
Return To Table of Contents
A carbon filter (9) is used to finish or polish the water, and to improve the taste. The carbon
filter should be replaced approximately every 3 months, or whenever the water develops a
taste. The carbon filter is custom designed for the AquaSource ADWS6 distiller.
To Replace the Carbon Filter:
1. Remove the water container (10) from the unit.
2. Remove the old filter by sliding the filter housing (9) and filter (8) towards you or
removing it from the opening in the water container.
3. Immerse the new carbon filter (9) in a separate container filled with distilled water for
one minute.
4. Remove the soaked filter and place it into the filter housing.
5. Slide the new filter and housing back into the guide or replace it into the opening of the
water container (9).
