1. A condensate separator system for a vacuum microwave dehydrator (VMD) comprising:
a separator vessel in selective fluid communication with a vacuum chamber of said VMD;
a water vessel in selective fluid communication with said separator vessel; and
an equalizer line connecting said separator vessel to said water vessel;
wherein said separator vessel and said water vessel are maintained at substantially the same pressure by said equalizer line.
