I live on the shore so this is something I wanted to learn about. But found the information really hard to find. So I thought this was something I need to post about for others. IN SIMPLE ENGLISH. (side note you can use this for really dirty water as well)

There are several ways to do this.....
First way:
SIMPLE BUT SLOW but solar
I came across this when searching. it is a solar dome. You can simply get this product But if you are creative you can do this with a sheet of plastic. CLICK HERE
Second is easy and a little faster:
Needed
-Drinking glass or small tin can
-Pot
-HEAT fire, stove
·First you place a drinking glass inside the pot pointing up, as if it already had delicious clean water in it. Pour saltwater into the pot to be distilled. Just make sure no saltwater accidentally gets into the glass.
-Invert the cover of the pot so that the knob of the pot is directly above the opening of the drinking glass.
-Boil the water on the heat source. As the condensation accumulates on the lid of the pot, it will roll down into the glass. Voila!
Third takes more skill but is a lot faster:
getting a little more creative here are a few different ideas
Go bigger get more water. Same as the solar dome but larger! Liters of water a day!
Now I guess the basic concept is that fresh water is the only thing that rises in the condensation.........
so you need to create a contained hot area for it to do that. And a place for it to go. Basic and simple.
Looking at this larger one I would think the concept is the it is the opposite of the second idea in this post. Have the saltwater container in the middle and raised and a clean water container below it so that the condensation can roll down the sides into the lower level for drinking.
This is the same idea as the first one but larger. But with all this in mind you should be able to be the person that can get drinking water from the sea!

Salt of the earth is the song for this post
Just wanted to add a note on this
ReplyDeleteWinter time and I am starting my winter sow for the first time. Which made me think of this post. Can you do the condensation process when it is cold and snow time? Yes you can. Just make sure you but it in direct sun light and make sure you get as close as you can to an air tight seal.
Great and useful blog. The best water filters can be an additional thing to keep on drinking clean water now a days.
ReplyDeleteI would simply say to you all “awesome information”
ReplyDeletewater treatment
best water purifier i've tried and i'm sticking to is berkey water filter. Instantly purifies water from any source including stagnant water.
ReplyDeleteit's not a bad thing if you invest on a good home water purification system. it will benefit your family's health and safety. R.O water system is great as it removes toxins and contaminants
DeleteHey,I think as opposed to doing all such stuff about desalination and all every individual on earth must change their demeanor ......save fresh water as opposed to changing over saltwater to fresh water subsequently aggravating the salinity levels of the oceans ...rather every individual must try to turn off the water taps and gives after every utilization.Thank you.

ReplyDeleteHi Guys -
I've been around the block with tap water, trying to clean it up using filters, etc. and I finally decided that there are just too many variables and too many contaminants in tap water with which to deal. A water expert at a local business here in Clearwater, Florida pointed out that, on any given day, Clearwater can receive its water supply from 30 different sources. And, to that water, they will add one or several of 300 different chemicals to make the water "right" - nullify contaminants, improve taste, etc.
And, in addition to these various chemicals, manually-added fluoride & chloramine and polluted groundwater, there is the issue of several miles of pipes that run from the water tank in your town to your home. They are probably 20 years old and WHO KNOWS WHAT is growing inside them and WHO KNOWS WHAT is leeching into the water from them!
And, every few months there is a news article stating that a HORRIBLE, NEW CHEMICAL has been found in the tap water!
I decided that tap water is the wrong way to start.
Here's what I do: I have a Royal Berkey gravity filter but I use my Berkey in a special way. I have an AWG (atmospheric water generator - The Traveller from DroughtMasters) that removes 6 to 10 gallons of water per day from the air here in Clearwater, Florida. I then pour that water through my Royal Berkey, which contains 4 Black Berkey carbon-block filters. The AWG unit contains a UV light that kills bacteria, etc.
I am a dealer for both of these products, The Traveller and Berkey Filters. If anybody is interested, or has any questions about this, please email me at admin@sweetpuppy.com .
Cheers! Steve Downing, Clearwater, Florida

Really nice post and thanks for writing. Water is essential for survival, especially if you’re far away from civilization. Studies have shown that the body can only survive for about three days without water, and finding fresh sources on your own can be troublesome.
