Default Water Distillation

Hi guys,
I am interested in what you think of water distillers.

With not knowing what the future will bring I thought that it would be handy to discuss them.

Advantages of water distillation:-

1. It removes all the fluoride and toxins from the water.
2. It could be used in emergencies if you don't have access to pure drinking water.
3. It is the only way to separate radio active dust particles from your water.
4. protects your immune system.


Disadvantages of water distillation:-

1. Expensive bulky equipment.
2. It can be a slow process.
3. It takes a lot of power if you use the electric one and what if you have no electric.
4. I might buy one and never need to use one.
5. I leave my non electric one in the shed and it rusts.


conclusion:-

Check out on google how to distill water using a pan with a lid, some tube (preferably copper) and a glass (to collect the distilled water).
The basic process is heating water/collecting the steam and turning it back into water in a clean glass.

Know that you can put a clear glass bottle of water out in the sun and the ultra violate light will kill some of the bacteria leaving it settle on the bottom of the bottle, that can be stage one of cleaning your river water/rain water of bacteria before you distill it.

This could be a serious upcoming issue, it is as well to inform yourself with knowledge on this.
