Water distillation apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed. A distillation apparatus comprising: a source fluid input; an evaporator; a condenser; a concentrate level sensor configured to sense a current concentrate level in a concentrate storage portion, the concentrate storage portion having an inflow path disposed above the evaporator and having a long axis extending alongside the evaporator; and at least one controller configured to periodically generate an impeller motor command based on a low temperature distillate production rated speed command in a low temperature distillate production state and a high temperature distillate production rated speed command in a high temperature distillate production state, and a control unit configured to control a rotational speed of the impeller in the low-temperature distillate production state and in the high-temperature distillate production state, the low-temperature distillate production rated speed command being a motor speed command faster than the hig
