How much electric does it take to make one gallon of water?

I used a watt meter, it cost between 35 cents to 50 cents for 5.5 hours per gallon, at the most expensive it will cost 50 cents at worst, if your electricity rate is very high. What I do is I pour boiling water into the pot first (because I have a gas stove), which saves 40 minutes from producing 1 gallon. I made a video on helpful tips here on YouTube https://youtu.be/DCmespGh_AQ

1) Is the water, at any time, in contact with plastic? 2) Would it be appropriate to add liquid minerals so one is not depleted of minerals?

While the water is funneled through a glass insert, the outlet on the glass insert is shorter than the plastic outlet, so as the water drips from the glass insert, it contacts the plastic funnel outlet briefly. Also, on the inside of the distiller, the stainless steel tube the steam rises up through has a non-metallic gasket that some water may contact and drip back into the distiller tank.

Does this distiller remove fluoride from the water?

I do not have a fluoride tester but the research I have done says it does.Sodium Fluoride's Melting point is 993 °C (1,819 °F; 1,266 K), and its Boiling point is 1,704 °C (3,099 °F; 1,977 K)Calcium Fluoride's Melting point is 1,418 °C (2,584 °F; 1,691 K), Boiling point is 2,533 °C (4,591 °F; 2,806 K)In short the Distiller does not have the heat required to boil the Fluoride in water.

How often you need to change the filter(s)? How much does the filter(s) cost? and how many filters does this machine have? Charcoal & another filter?

The manufacturer recommends changing the filter every 30 gallons. We sell a 12 pack of filters for $14.95. The unit comes with six filters. It just has this one filter.
