    water distiller

    I got tired of buying distilled water for my detail shop steamers, so I did some research and bought a water distiller for $105 on Amazon. No more trips to Walmart for jugs of water. No more plastic jugs. Unit makes a gallon in 4 hrs so I will set it to make water after hours.
