Distillation water purification system (An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices with supplemental components designed to remove impurities from water by distillation (a method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling mixture). This system heats impure water to vapour and then facilitates cooling of the vapour for condensation into pure water; it removes about 99.5% of impurities from original water including nitrates, bacteria, sodium, hardness, dissolved solids, most organic compounds, heavy metals, and radionuclides.)
