An apparatus for heating fluid and distilling fluid includes a main tank (200) for containing fluid to be heated, a heater (300) having a pilot light for heating the fluid in said main tank, and an evaporator tank (400) for vaporizing fluid received therein with heat from the pilot light (305). A method of heating fluid and distilling fluid includes heating a first volume of fluid with a heater having a pilot light and heating a second volume of fluid with the pilot light. A second apparatus for heating fluid and distilling fluid includes a main tank (200) for containing fluid to be heated, a condensing tank (100) for passing fluid to said main tank, an evaporator tank (400) for vaporizing fluid received therein, a condensing coil (115) disposed in said condensing tank for exchanging heat between fluid vaporized by said evaporator tank and fluid in said condensing tank, a distillate tank (500) for receiving condensed fluid from said condensing coil and an electric filament for heating fluid in said evaporator tank when a level in said distillate tank equals or exceeds a predetermined level. |
