components which may ignite
such materials. Use this device
with water feed only. Failure to
comply with the above could
result in explosion and personal
injury. To avoid electrical shock,
always use a properly grounded
electrical outlet of correct voltage
and current handling capacity.
Ensure that the equipment is
connected to electrical service
according to local and national
standards. Failure to properly
connect may create a fire or
shock hazard.
Hot Surface
Avoid Contact. Hot water and
steam heat the glass portions of
the still to dangerous
temperatures during operation.

of the boiler (P).
2. Open the valve at the tap water source and
the treated water source if so installed.
3. Switch on the main power breaker on the
control at the customer power source.
4. Push "Water" switch on control box (O)

approximately 15 Gal/Hr.
5. Push "OPERATE" switch. Light will light
and heaters will come on.
6. Allow the still to operate for 15-20 minutes.
For distillate at maximum purity, set the
flowmeter (L) at 11-12 GPH. For maximum
volume of distillate, increase flow at flow-
meter (L) to the point where only a slight
wisp of steam is visible at the condenser
vent (A).
7. Your MEGA-PURE
now be operational. Run the still for 4-5
hours to allow it to cleanse itself before
collecting water for use. (Dispose of the
