[@dragonslayer7587]

Honestly, if we are at a point where we are depending on the sun {UV} to sanitize our water supply, I'm not worried about the leaching plastic. {It's in everything anyway} I bought a hand pump online at Amazon for under $40 bucks, with 25 ft of well drilling pipe. Here in Florida, we hit water anywhere from 2ft down, to about 10ft. The hand pump can't bring up more than 25ft. It's kinda small. However, it's water. It's still not as clean as I would want, basically ground water, but it's better than nothing. I'm deed restricted for almost everything, but the well is hidden in the back yard in the middle of the flowers! Check them out if you can. Only buy the cast iron!

Sunlight can also be used to heal from infection because it penetrates the skin. My uncle had TB. The hospital laid him outdoors in the sun and gave him orange juice to drink. That was 100 years ago

[@charlottecmgh3791]

Wow ! That's good to know. Thank you.

[@twboegel2918]

How'd that turn out?

[@SirReptitious]

It helped for two reasons. First it allowed people to breathe fresh air instead of being in a room with other sick people breathing each other's infected air. Second, being in sunlight allows the body to make vitamin D which is important to the immune system. It was also done for the Spanish Flu pandemic.

[@jameshornacek8436]

I personally would not use an umbrella to collect water that your going to consume because they use FOREVER chemicals also shower curtains contain this as well as many other products.

[@dmark6699]

The Vitamin D helps.

[@danrieke9988]

Steve, as a suggestion, lying the bottles on the shiny side of a sheet of aluminum foil will increase the amount of UV penetrating the bottles. UV does reflect off of foil. This might increase the efficiency -- and thereby reduce the time -- by 10-20%. And every little bit helps in a survival scenario.

[@lunarminx]

That is correct, reptile uvb tube bulbs are housed with reflective shields. Dollar tree cookie sheets are cheap and reusable.

[@andreavandekleut6379]

if you have tree's with broad leaves you can wrap the tips of those with plastic bags , and the sun will hit them and before you know it the tree will have a few cups of good water for you to drink . specially good are longleaf pine or white pines and they will add the good turpines from the needles for extra vitamin C and anti bacterial goodies.

My 18 year old son and I were just talking about this yesterday. He had no idea about purifying water by the sun. To my delight, he is onboard and has complete awereness of our current time in history. I will say with all the ways to purify water this one is new to me and my family. I have plenty of mason jars and sun 🌞

[@termodog7951]

In a serious water shortage…5 gallons is a luxury. We’ve been working on ways to save water for in case..like building a mobile outhouse over the septic tank. Inside can use used dish water to flush. I order these huge boxes of Huggies wipes..cucumber and green tea….from Sams…(on sale right now) a person can take a bath with those. We have the 250 gallon water tanks and catch rain water. I have all kinds of purification and filter stuff. Our property has a creek on 3 sides. We live in the woods…so can always boil water. And still…water is the one thing I worry the most about. I like the mason jar sun idea.

[@PoplarPrepper]

[@darrellluck7230]

If you are staying in one location, but you are out of water, you can easily PRODUCE pure drinking water (distilled actually) with minimal supplies, if the sun is shining. Dig a shallow pit. In the center, place a bowl or jar. Cover pit with plastic (clear, black, any color). Heap dirt around the edge to hold it in place. Place a small rock above jar. All the plastic slopes towards the jar. As the sun warms the soil below, condensation will form on the inner surface of the plastic, and drip into the jar. Distilled water! Many pits - gallons of water. This can also work at night if the air temperature dips a significant amount below the soil temperature.

Dry Fasting is the most amazing thing your body can do. And the reason you can live that long without water is 2 reasons. Number 1, eating food takes massive amounts of water to process. Number 2, and the most remarkable, your body was created so complex, it can physically make H²O out of the oxygen you breathe and the Hydrogen stored in your fat cells. It's incredible and a testament to how wonderfully made we are. Our bodies can do miraculous things. Like heal itself and create water. And dry fasting has amazing effects of healing, cleaning your liver & kidneys and even reversing disease. But the key is, if you don't have water nor any way to make water, don't eat anything at all and your body goes in to emergency mode and makes conditions and chemical reactions to keep you alive longer.

[@almostoily7541]

Great video! I know this will be controversial but... Hubby worked for a company that used a lot of hydrologic oil in five gallon buckets. He brought a lot home so we opened as many up as would fit under the edge of our carport. We did it right before a rain. The rain would clean the buckets for us. We just left them until no oil remained. We don't plant anything there so we don't mind if the oil gets onto the ground in that spot. We don't spray anything like herbicides so we figured it would keep the weeds down and wouldn't be any worse than spraying. Nope. The weeds still grow there. The buckets themselves are food grade. I use the water after the oil is gone to water plants. I've also planted in the cleaned out buckets. We have to use what we have and that's what we have. I kinda figure that we don't use pesticides or herbicides so it's probably not any worse than the food at the grocery store. Anyway, I thought I would share that. Because if someone has access to whatever kind of buckets they want to use, a carport sheds a lot of water. It can fill a lot of containers in a little rain shower.

[@iiinsaiii]

I’ve been doing the same thing with those 2 liter bottles for months. I wash the bottles out with hot water and soap. Then fill the bottle up halfway then add a TSP of unscented bleach. I add the cap and shake the water around for 15 sec. Then if you’re doing multiple bottles, just pour the bleach water into another bottle and do the sane thing and sanitize it. Then empty and rinse out the bottle and you’re set. Now fill the 2 litter bottle with water and set it in a cool place where no direct sunlight with hit them. Store them for 6 months to over a year. But if you decide to leave it longer. You can filter the water with a Berkey filters system. KZbin: DIY Berkey Filter . That’s what I made and have. P.S. if you can get those 2 liters plastic soda holders will help in stacking. Check your local beer distributor. Stay safe

Wow, you know a lot about purifying water. Thank you so much for all that info...

[@christinemott1439]

I am so afraid of rain water. Pretty much all water these days, the chemicals and stuff that's being released from planes into the air. I don't trust anything and I get the filters.

I knew you could sterlize water with the sun but wasnt quite sure of the process !!!! Thank you!!!

Hi all from Grass Valley California. Have had frozen pipes before, and it takes me about a gallon of water, just for my morning routine.

Whenever its sunny, I put my destilled water into the sun to restructure it. It tastes devine as well. ☀️☀️☀️

Regarding sodium hyperchlorite.... OMG, don't use a metal lid!!!! I keep mine in its original plastic packaging bag that is placed in a tuppewarer-type container that seals tight, sized to not be a lot larger than the product inside. I've had mine for over 2 years, and have had no issues. IT is Kept in cool storage in a dark basement area. If you are going to use a jar, use the Ball plastic lid to seal it -- not the white ones at Wally World, but the Ball brand grey lids. They are water/air tight but the white ones are not. Regarding water purification... I knew the sun could purify water (and clothes and bedding when put out on the line to dry). But I wondered how to tell when it was purified. I found a neat gadget on the Sun Oven International website. It's called a "Multi-Fuel WAPI" (which stands for water pasteurization indicator). It's multi-fuel because you can use the sun in the Sun oven, or you can use it in a container over a fuel source. It is "...a transparent tube which contains wax. The wax melts and drops to the bottom of the tube when it reaches 150F (65C) for 6 minutes indicating that the water has been pasteurized and is now safe to drink". In addition to using the sun, it can be used on a campfire, charcoal, propane or any type of fuel. It fits into a plastic round float that is placed in a pot, pan or jar filled with water. I know they sold it for the Sun Oven, but It should work in a jar as well as long as it can float in the jar to stay level. Thought I'd share in case anyone is interested...
