Water distiller break-even formula

Annual purchased-water cost = gallons used per week × price per gallon × 52.

Annual distiller ownership cost = estimated annual electricity + cleaning supplies + replacement consumables.

Simple break-even years = purchase price ÷ (annual purchased-water cost − annual ownership cost).

Gallons/week Gallons/year Purchased-water input
1 7 Multiply by your local price per gallon
2 14 Multiply by your local price per gallon
3 21 Multiply by your local price per gallon
4 28 Multiply by your local price per gallon
5 35 Multiply by your local price per gallon
7 49 Multiply by your local price per gallon

Costs people forget

  • Local electricity rate and actual cycle usage
