Add a rack to the bottom of the pan so you're bowl/container don't move around, also reduces risks of breakage..

[@karronlaneNOLA]

good idea.

[@JamesThompson-xl4yu]

One good point to make: store distilled water comes in plastic jugs and as distilled water is (empty) water, it will absorb plastic molecules from the jug plus the chemicals from the plastic. Also, the minerals missing from distilled are readily replaced by the foods we eat, so no worries about missing minerals. Also, you can drink distilled with no harm by simply adding a pinch of sea salt to put in the good minerals. Last advice: Let the water come to a boil before adding the lid over it to release any VOC gasses that may be in the source water.

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

Excellent observations, thanks so much❤

Thats right! That bottled water is only good for cars or cleaning products. Salt and lemon can be added for electrolytes

[@sabsw.8737]

Can you use stainless steal pot to catch the water that drips in? Or does it only have to be glass?

[@horus2779]

It's so profound, I have been sick for 3 weeks with a weird throat bug and my body just filled up with dead cells (green puss) soooo much, my stomach has been so toxic feeling, like too much salt, years ago by my own mind come up with the idea of pulling, using deminerised water to draw out toxins, so I drank one big cup of deminerised water and within 1hrs the toxic feeling had gone, why do we need water with minerals when we eat healthy and get all we need , we don't, I'm blown away by the quick effect

good to know you can make this water this way instead of having to buy a distiller, not that they're that expensive but still.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

There are DIY distillers. Recently saw a video where someone used a pressure cooker / canner. Have seen them made using stock pots. A number of variations from very simple to the equivalent of distilling moonshine. The latter used to be common in my rural area in the SE US.

[@lindaorstad]

Thank you for not charging us for this information and keeping it simple and to the point.

[@friend757]

Excellent. In an emergency distilling the water is the only way to make sure water has radioactive fall out removed and safe to drink.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Uhmmmmm, I thought that a combination of treatments, including both carbon and reverse osmosis is the preferred method.

[@friend757]

@@oldtimerlee8820I am not advising best treatment, but if you have none of that distilling could save someone's life. I was just pointing out that the fall out is too heavy to rise with the steam. 99 percent of people do not have access to carbon filters and reverse osmosis. Just a simple pot and ability to boil is better than nothing.

My grandma used to add some salt to the distilled water afterbitvhad cooled. She said it replenished the minerals it lost while distilling. She would use the one with salt for drinking and pure distilled for cooking and everything else.

[@GohaAesop-wellmet]

​@charbertolahmahnz9173purest sea salt you can find, or Celtic, or Himalayan pink - not ordinary table salt, with all the chemicals added!

[@CathySharp]

LOVED THIS. THANKS!! BY FAR THE EASIEST, CHEAPEST, AND MOST HEATHY WAY TO MAKE IT.

[@Annaëlle_Censurée]

Thank you for the demonstration. That's simple. You can add: -something to elevate the receiving container above the water so it won't float and move. -ice or cold water (in a plastic bag) on top of the installation to keep the lid at a lower temperature compared to the steam. Notice that (as said at 4:00) there is no need for the water to boil. That's why this installation also works when expose to direct solar rays. It will never boil but the vapor will appear as well. For solar installation, use a black and not shinny outside container to absorb and not reflect the solar rays. Have a nice day.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Great idea to invert a glass pot lid. Easy method for turning out qualities of distilled water based on the size of the vessels. I have a large stock pot (without a vent hole) that would work well. Suspect I can use a wide mouth 1/2 gal mason jar to collect the water. Thinking that I can put a platform of some kind in the pot. Then set the jar on it, so the mouth of the jar is just below the handle. That would allow a considerable amount of water to be put into the pot itself. Use a canning jar lifter to remove the hot jar, when its nearly full. Jar should be narrow enough to adding more water to the pot, as needed, would be easy, too. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the inspiration! Appreciated.

[@easternyellowjacket276]

Another tip is to put ice cubes on the outside of the inverted pot cover. It will cause the water vapor to condense much quicker.

[@kathleensigmon1085]

[@versatec1]

You can get all of your minerals and more through adding Himalayan salt to distilled water my advice would be don't ever drink water out of a tap

[@strayedcat1966]

I like Himalayan salt, but not so sure all the minerals it contains are organic. Organic minerals come from plants. Plants have the unique ability to transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals. These are the minerals we need. Inorganic minerals are not absorbable by humans and will only cause problems for us... Kidney and gall stones, hardening of the arteries and capillaries in the brain, equals senility. (calcium is an insulator therefore, preventing electrical signals so you cannot recall or process information in your brain... this usually takes many years... hence older folks suffer). We are dependent on plants or animals that eat them for our required minerals. Himalayan salts contain many minerals that may have gone through a plant, but also minerals from the raw earth or the seas. A good thing about Himalayan salt is that it is 250-300 million years old has never been exposed to our modern polluted atmosphere. It is protected by the Himalayan Mountains, which are the highest and youngest mountains on Earth. It is only mined by hand... No powered machinery at all. Properly distilled water is simply pure H2O only... It has a neutral pH of 7, no color, odor, or taste. Water is the universal solvent of all things. Pure water is what we should be consuming. It will not dissolve your bones or any other body parts but will help absorb impurities and toxins, so they can be excreted naturally.

Greetings from the land of ice and snow 😎☕️🥶 Excellent presentation! I had not thought of that and certainly doable! I made my own water distiller: single wall stainless steel water bottle, a lab food grade rubber stopper and 3/8 copper tubing. I duct taped one end and filled with sand box sand until it filled the tube completely and duct taped the other end. Used a rolling pin to coil the tube (all but 6 inches on either end) without putting any kinks in it. Once I had the desired coil that I wanted, simply removed the duct tape from both ends and emptied out the sand and washed the tube throughly and let dry. I Slowly drilled a hole through the rubber stopper slightly smaller that the tube for a sealed tight fit. Filled the water bottle with tap water and placed on the stove to boil. Placed a 2 cup glass measuring cup to collect the distilled water.

[@edieboudreau9637]

@Lou M. Snow is distilled water. Fill glass jars from snow after first 12" of snow. (All the pollution has been removed by then. ) Then bring inside where it's warmer. It will slowly melt a room temp back to a liquid state. Do NOT put on heat source or glass could explode.

@Susan S. Dollar general carries distilled water, too. Near the sodas on the shelf. Looks like plain water but SAYS distilled.

Distilled water in gallon jugs is also a great way to store water if youre in an apartment and cant put a big water storage barrel in, you can tuck them in here and there & there's no critters inside to grow and make the water gross^^

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Most water jugs are biodegradable. Designed to break down in landfills. Keep a close eye on your jugs, as they can spring leaks. I had floor damage by the time I caught the problem with jugs of water that I stored. Now, I always replace bottled water, of any kind, around the time Best By ends. Water itself does not have a shelf life. Water lasts forever. Canned, it can be stored in glass jars for endless years, as long as the jar lid doesn't rust. However disposable containers definitely does not. Water bottles will begin to distort about a year after purchase. Those jugs, I mentioned failed slightly before their Best Buy dates. Didn't catch the leaking in time to prevent ruining my floor. (sigh) You can use the stored water for many purposes, so it doesn't go to waste, as you replace it periodically. Often use ours for watering plants. Can dump it into a top loading washing machine. Mop a floor or wash the car.

[@goofyroofy]

@@oldtimerlee8820 Thanks for the info on that, been @5-6 months the oldest ones are, so I'll keep an eye out on it. I rotate the supply as me and the cats use it, but have been working up to having a year's supply so maybe i'll stop at @ 6-9 mos supply. Have lots of purification options, so storage is really just a bonus. Thanks again.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

@@goofyroofy Appreciate that you let me know that I could be of help. If you have good sources of raw water that you can filter, as needed, suspect that a couple of months is all you need to store water. FWIW... Here, I store enough water to get me through the initial stages of a disaster / grid down situation. Enough time for me to backup plans into operation. There's a creek that originates from a spring in a wooded area near my house. Will be fairly easy to turn that raw water into potable water by several means already in place. Evaluate your situation as to what your actual water storage circumstances dictate with regards to how much you keep on hand. Your budget and storage space may be better served for other purposes than storing a huge amount of water. On the other hand that may be the best uses of space. Requirements in arid regions often vary greatly from areas with plenty of rainfall.
