You're comparing both systems using watthours of energy expended, so mentioning enthalpy of water vaporization is unnecessary and confusing.

Sorry, I meant to say that the enthalpy of water vaporization is about 630 KWh per cubic meter for context to compare to the energy use of this method and reverse osmosis. I guess I forgot to actually include the number!
