When it comes to tiny air fresheners I've made as gifts, I boiled water for them.
However I want to start making other bath and body items, like scrubs and liquid soap. I want to invest in a counter top water distiller, so i dont have to constantly buy distilled water.

I've heard H2Olabs.com has the best on the market but what are some of your idea's, or comments??

Sounds interesting. I use tap water for soap, but distilled water for lotions or creams.

We have a countertop water distiller - it is considered a very good model, but they are all very slow and use a LOT of electricity.

So I changed to purchasing distilled water in 5 gallon jugs. It is very cheap to buy it that way and they offer free delivery.
I buy in bulk, because I use it in my wax melters.

Thanks, Distributors will be something I look into. The electricity thing is really a huge concern.

H2Olabs claims there's can do 1 gallon at a time, and 4 gallons a day. When you calculate it, that is a long time.

We will see what happens in this adventure

Thanks again!!
