Great channel. A lot of people talk about celiac disease and allergy. But few people really thought of water maybe the problem. I am talking about heavily disinfected water. Which is claimed to be the safest drinking tap water. Rather than saying gluton is causing the problem, what about the drinking water is weakening our guts which made some of us allergy to gluten? Let's be open minded and explore further? There are discussions on why Europe has less gluten sensitivity issue than US. Talking about poo and energy. In my country, we have the cleanest tap water which you can drink directly from it without getting sick because of contamination. I boiled it nonetheless to remove chlorine. I am 45 this year and i had observed this. I have loose bowel all the time. And my body energy is low. Yes, my body is slightly weaker than average person. But when i travelled to neighbouring country, in fears of water contaminations. We usually drink bottled distilled water, as much of the travellers is doing. The finding is, i have normal bowel, firm and smooth. And i also experience higher body energy, less lethargic. Of course for my age and long term consuming water from my own country, i am not expecting the change of water to change my body energy from a 45 yo to a 16 yo kid. But i can feel that drinking bottled distilled water add less burden to my body. Not to forget, all dishes i consumed from my country are using the same source of water. Be it soup, rice and congee all contain the same source of water. So some of you may consider a change of drinking water.

“I’m not a scientist I just know how stuff works” truly an iconic statement

The ice speeds up the condensation because it cools the pan lid. This means, when the steam hits the lid, it cools down and condenses back into water! Steam/water vapour is just water that has risen above its boiling point, so when it cools, it turns back into water. Thanks for the video :)

This is the way things should be. People helping other people live healthier simply (without having to buy expensive equipment). Thank you!

My grandson, at age TEN, became plagued with KIDNEY STONES. This is a condition I always associated with the elderly, but I was wrong! Between ages 10-14, he had had 6 episodes. An account of one of the episodes that he had when he was 14 was so agonizing to hear about, my entire family, young and old, male and female, were literally in tears. This particular episode pertained to what he went through passing one of these stones at the hospital. Kidney stones are shaped like a “goat head sticker” and are made of calcium. Calcium deposits is that hard water white build up you get in your steam iron or vaporizer, requiring the use of DISTILLED WATER ONLY. Well, I’m just a Nana with no medical background, but I CAN add 2+2. I started keeping him stocked him up on the 2 1/2 gallon containers of distilled water and his own Yeti water cup/container, explained my theory to my daughter, and my grandson hasn’t had a kidney stone since. From age 15 to now 20. At his last checkup at 17 with his pediatric nephrologist my daughter explained the change we had made to the doctor and accredited it to the absence of attacks. His nephrologist was quite pleased with the information, did some research and started recommending distilled water to his patients. Yay Nana!

This is absolutely fantastic. As a chemist, I’ve never seen a method as simple as this. The ice expedites the precipitation of the vapor. Excellent contraption with household products.

I am taking care of someone who needs twice day saline rinses for his sinusitis. I have to use distilled water. Unfortunately, my supply of distilled water is running low and there does not seem to be any to be had in the drug stores or grocery stores. Thank you for this video. It is likely to save someones life.

The mineral deal is a non issue. We get most of our minerals from the food we eat and the mineral content of drinking water varies so widely across the country that you can't be sure of any kind of consistency. The best upside to distilled is that it eliminates all chlorine and fluoride. My wife and I have been drinking nothing but distilled water for the last five years. I have chronic Kidney disease and have managed to avoid needing dialysis. When 1st diagnosed the Doc said I could go from 6 months to 2 years before needing dialysis.... I'm coming up on 5 years in July. I haven't passed any kidney stones either (they're no fun) since I've been on the distilled.

Hey mate , Melbourne Australia here. I make my own vinyl record cleaning solution ( cause I have sooo many albums !! ) and I need distilled water as part of the mix, but for some reason its impossible to buy anywhere here at the moment so I searched heaps of You Tube posts and yours was the by far the best explained and easiest to follow. I know I should, but I never send comments on You Tube but your post was so easy to follow and so well delivered I felt I had to say thank you.

Without being complicated it’s a law of thermodynamics. Heat (The steam) is drawn to the coldest surface to turn back into liquid water as condensation. This is why old windows suffer condensation in winter months, how dehumidifiers work (Sucks in wet air and it hits a chilled metal plate and collects in the tray as it chills into droplets) and also how heat exchanger systems work - drawing hot stuff towards the cold stuff 👍 You might not have understood but your method is spot on

This is perfect for those with a Cpap machine. For those who don't know what this is, it's a machine with a face mask you put on when you go to bed. It helps with sleep apnea, basically it will keeo you breathing! These machines need distilled water to humidify the air you breathe, and you don't want bacteria in this water because it will go into your lungs. I'll be able to make my own distilled water now thanks to this video. (No more skimping on it when I forget to go to the store and end up using tap water) thank you very much for the upload! 🙏🙏❤🙏🙏

My father taught me this some forty five years ago. He told me that the distilled water must never come into contact with any metal whilst being collected. Thank you for the upload.

The dynamics of the ice is a good idea. The cold speeds up the process of the distilled water. Slot of people including myself might not have thought of that. The seed you planted gets a BIG thumbs up . Thank you

Cannot thank you enough for this video!! I’ve been trying to make distilled water but every other explanation was so complicated or required buying expensive supplies or a kit. You made this so easy to follow and do that I’m making distilled water right now in my kitchen, and I didn’t even have to go out and buy any supplies either! You have such an amazing, straightforward, and clear way of explaining things - I appreciate you making this video so much. I have to mix in distilled water with one of my daily medications and you just saved me from buying some crazy overpriced (and let’s be honest, questionable) distilled bottled water on Amazon, so I’m very grateful. Stay safe and be well!! :)

because of you i am getting an A in science

Here we are 2 years later and I’m finding this video super helpful as we’re now in a distilled water shortage. Who would have thought? Haha. You’re the MVP. Thanks!

I'm 70 now and been around the block a few times, but I never knew how easy it is to make one's own distilled water! How cool is that?! 😘 🌎

This is so much better than buying distilled water in a plastic bottle at the store. I'm so glad to have come across this video. Thank you for taking the time out if your day to make this video and share with all of us. Enjoy a happy healthy life friend.🥰

Love it! Just an ordinary everyday dude doing what needs to be done, then sharing it with the masses. Thank you!

Few tips to add more to the wealth of information we share : - you can replace ice cubes with ice packs to make the process cleaner/less wasteful - you can also use the same contraption in those electric rice cooker/electric stockpots ''one pot'' appliances

Thanks for the idea! Did anyone mention that you should not use a "non stick pot" to boil water in? I would suggest only using "Stainless Steel" to avoid those particles from the pot painted with the toxic non stick pot.

Venus fly traps need this kind of water, thanks !

Thank you very very much for this. My wife and I both have CPAP‘s and none of the local stores, or even the stores in the surrounding cities, have any bottled distilled water. So we are going to try this right now. Again thank you very very much for this.

This proves how important different frameworks are necessary for problem solving. As someone in stem I know why the ice helps, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to make at home distilled water cause I’m thinking of lab specific glassware that I can’t get. But here you knew how to do it a home without that background. Brilliant! Thanks

About 2 1/2 years ago I purchased an electric distiller from Amazon for about $100. It was one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I have been distilling a gallon of water a day since I got it for me and my family. I can't figure out why distillers like the one I bought aren't sold at stores like Walmart. My family thought I was crazy when I got it, now they don't want any other kind of water. If you want distilled water, do yourself a favor and purchase one, you can't get any easier than pouring in a gallon of contaminated water and turning on a switch and ending with pure distilled water.

With all jokes aside, this guy seems like a pretty cool dude. Thanks man. You earned a subscriber in me, and i dont even have a pond lol 👍

Thank you so much for explaining and demonstrating how to make distilled water so 'the lay person' can understand and carry this out. I wanted to make distilled water years ago and when I looked at all the diagrams, glass beakers, pipettes, tubes, and Bunson burners, I said, oh, hell no. You just dissolved all that mystery! Thank you again, Much appreciated.💯👌👍

The ice helps to cool the lid (lower temperature) which allows for the steam to quickly condense (turn from gas to liquid) into pure liquid water (i.e. distilled water). Thank you for sharing !

I was wondering for a long time...... how to make distilled water. Random click... I came across your video. God Bless you for coming to the rescue of people like me.,.👏👏👏👍❤️

5:44 "I'm not a scientist, I just know how stuff works". Hahahahaha

Love your humility- and that youre JUST TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE AND SHARE HELPFUL INFO 🙌🏻Thank you sir🙌🏻 We need more people like this ( and less people trying to get likes and subscriptions and people who have negative comments just want to be mean.) Good job 👏🏻

Thank you for posting this vid, I am tired of buying distilled water for my plants an coming acrossed this has helped me out I no longer have to buy distilled water. Thank you so much , stay healthy an blessed ! 🤗

i learned this from a survival comic book but i never paid much attention at how good it is

thanks for the video! very pleasant tutorial. tip for the detoxers, ground up a maximum of 5 grams of ginger (5 grams a day max. also make sure it's fresh and moist), sqeeuze out an entire lemon and make it into a nice little slimy concocture. add the boiling distilled water and voila; you got yourself the mother of detox tea

Procedure starts at 3:04... Thank you😊

Thank you… I use this in my CPAP machine and was buying bottle after bottle. Now I will Be able to make my own

I’m a naturopath doctor and I always recommend distilled water especially for certain people who’s mineral content is very high in the body because it does leach out those excess minerals however for people who need minerals they should be getting those from their food sources not necessarily from their water so even if someone drinks distilled water for a prolonged period of time they shouldn’t feel like they’re missing out on minerals unless they are simply not getting those in their food choices

You are on the right track However have a slight misunderstanding The body draws organic minerals from the fresh foods and juices we take in It can absorb inorganic minerals. It Cannot use them 1. All the fluids of the body are distilled water 2. The minerals in other waters are “inorganic” and cause many health problems The body cannot use inorganic minerals, so it stores them in various parts of the body Ie. Stones in kidneys, gall bladder , prostate in fact any of the organs & glands of the body Calcification deposits in joints causing inflammations pain & arthritis Distilled water draws calcifications from the joints & it is passed from the body in the urine Testing patients in the first 21 days after drinking distilled water only we find sediment levels are increased up by as much as 200% This in turn allows the body to much more effectively draw the organic minerals necessary to life from the foods one eats “The Choice Is Clear” by Dr Banik is a booklet available on Amazon that will give greater understanding on the subject

Thanks! This can save folks a lot of money on all the machines out there that require distilled water. I would suggest rinsing out storage containers with distilled water first then storing distilled water in them to assure purity since contamination can occur if there is residue left in containers from previous processes such as washing with soaps or detergent. Thanks again! This was great!

Interesting video. I can understand the benefits of drinking water with contaminants taken out. My problem with distilled and even dubious bottled water is it tastes not only bland, but dead to me. I was raised with deep well water, (it was locally called iron water), and the taste was heavenly to me as a kid. I am sure it had other minerals in it. In fact the military did a study about soldiers from around our area, because they found they had way above average good teeth and ended up concluding it was because of the local water. In the summer the deep well water was nice and cold. Also When I went back to visit my grandparents I could not get enough of that water and lost weight and water retention from drinking it a lot. Who knows, what the quality of that water is today. I miss it.

I've been drinking distilled water since 1991 and bought a refurbished distiller for $120, 12 years ago. It has been one of the best things I've ever purchased.

Needed distilled water for my succulents to avoid mineral buildup. Turns out it's beneficial to me too, pretty cool. Thanks for the clear and simple demonstration! This was a lot easier to understand than what I was reading from articles.

Thanks for this demo. I don't know why I didn't relate it to what I already learned long ago while thinking about 'prepping survival' tactics. This would be the same process if you did not have anything other than salt water. Just boil the salt water and collect that condensation to have drinking water. The salt stays in the bottom of the boiling pot and salt and mineral free water is collected. I live in an extremely remote location and a lot of items are not available for purchase in our tiny store or even online for long periods. I was without cornstarch for about 6 months! Due to the increase of these kinds of DIY videos, I have learned to make so many things from scratch and most of them are ridiculously simple, like turning granulated sugar into powdered confectioner's sugar.

Thank you for this easy solution! Filing this info away incase I need to make my own clean water....you never know!

Great video. Thank you. This is like a version of a solar still that you might use in the dessert in a survival situation using a sheet of plastic, a hole and a vessel to catch the water in. Obviously this version is much faster. The ice makes the top colder so as the steam hits it. It turns back into water droplets faster. Great work well done.

There's 2 types of minerals , organic and inorganic. The former we get in food, the latter in the water. We do not need the inorganic ones in the water. They are the ones that cause stones in our organs. So distilled water is the safest to drink because it has been stripped of the bad minerals.

I love this guys personality,also this video is extremely helpful thx!

This was probably the best video hands down I found regarding making your own distilled water. I appreciate your teaching style, like learning from an old family friend.

This is prime youtube. Learning new stuff that actually works. I use this for my water bottle and my cats water. Thank you. U can taste the difference

Knowing that something works is more important than understanding how it works! This was very clever- thank you.👍❤️

5:45 bsically the ice is damn cold it makes the lid cold, the steam that touches the lid will be condensed alot faster so it will turn into distilled water alot faster :D

Thank you so much. I've been into motors since I was young. I have always done minor services to my car however thanks to the pandemic I now struggle financially and learning to make everything at home mechanical wise is something I love. I can now run a decent flush for my radiator in my VT commodore and do a minor service myself ad save $$$'s in my pocket. Thank you

Thanks for this video! Never get yourself worked up for not knowing the science or the vernacular behind what you are sharing; if it works for you, it very well will work and help another. Thank you again! 🌷

Thanks for this helpful video. My personal opinion is if I had to do this for clean drinking water, I could add a little sea salt or pink Himalayan salt to decrease the pull of minerals from the body that can occur with drinking too much distilled water. Those natural salts are loaded with good minerals. (I might add a little potassium and magnesium powder too). I wouldn’t do this with regular table salt though. 😉👍

Awesome video! I am going to use the distilled water for homemade disinfectant with at least 70% isopropyl alcohol, a bit of hydrogen peroxide, and a lemon oil drops. Btw, the ice in the lid helps the vapors drop down in temperature to reach the dew point quicker, making vapors to condense. If I may share, things in the world exist in three states: solid (s), liquid/aqueous (aq), and gas/gaseous (g). Water boils, turns liquid (aq) into vapors (g). The steam/vapors are very light, rising to the top, hitting the lid. The ice on the lid makes the lid colder than the steam, which helps to drops the temperature of the steam to reach the condensation/dew point. That's the point where steam (g) turns back into water drops (aq) state. The steam turned into condensation then gets heavy, drops to the container in the pot.

I'm doing this for my cpap machine. I just paid $1.65 for a gallon of distilled water. I also had a Dr. say I could use distilled water to make coffee and iced tea. Thank you so much for your help

This just came up on my feed today. Like your 'Love' sign in the back, says volumes. Loved your video as I buy this all the time. Thank you!!!

This was so informative, thanks so much! I had no clue it was so easy to make distilled water. Seriously you could be saving lives with this video as clean drinking water is scarce on a global scale. It's also a good failsafe for those who may accidentally break their water distillers or water filters.

My holistic doctor as well as my teacher who is studying to be a doctor says that if you put a pinch of himalayan salt in your glass it puts all the minerals in it that you need. In fact even more than other types of water. You can order the mineral water testing kit off of Amazon to prove the point it is what they used to show us. And because this is so you can drink this water on a daily basis. They also say this water is so good because it has pulling agents in it. Now for you who think oh no salt, well this salt is good for you. It is not iodized salt which is not good for you. Research and find out for yourself. Also another very important note: when you drink a lot of water you wash out the salt out your body that you need because our bodies do need salt, but so by drinking distilled water with some himalayan salt you are being benefited for doing so.

Not planning on drinking distilled water but this video is a life saver for my carnivorous plants that can't have any "regular" water. Still was interested with the distilled water facts. Thanks for having shared this!

Thank you! I used your method but with a slow cooker / crock pot and it worked very well. It produced more distilled water than the stovetop trial but that may be due to a better seal between the crock pot and upside-down cover.

Thank you, you broke it down to my level. I haven't been able to find distilled water at any of my local stores for my CPAP machine, so your video was just what I needed. It will take a lot but there is nothing else to do anyway, 😁 Thank you, stay safe and healthy.

Great video! Explanation for putting ice : the ice helps to absorb heat from the water vapour faster and so the steam condenses faster into water.. But the ice should not be put after the water starts boiling as it will quickly reduce the temp of the glass and it may crack.. To increase your yield u might also use a metallic lid on top, it will help transfer the heat to the ice faster and u will get more distilled water.

Just wanted to say thank you for the video. We homeschool our kids and one of the experiments called for distilled water and I wasn't going to go out to pay for it when I needed such a small amount. This process was another lab experiment all in it's own. Thanks

Yes this is great!! Stainless steel floating bowl is great too. Little tricky to remove hot but you can. ❤️

Great video with easy to follow steps! Thank you sir!! It’s always a good idea to know skills like this so we don’t always rely on going to a store to purchase something we can make ourselves. Saving time and money is the best. As a busy mom I can’t tell you how many projects have screeched to a halt because of a missing item that requires loading up the whole gang, driving, stores, distractions and inevitably the loss of the motivation and enthusiasm for said project. I’ve had this happen when we didn’t have distilled water and I had no idea I could have kept the momentum going and completed the task at hand so quickly and easily. Now I know and am grateful for you sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the video. I wanted to learn about this for 2 reasons: 1. I make soap. Distilled water is needed as an ingredient, & also it works way better than hard tap water for removing the soap left behind on the containers & utensils used in the process. 2. To water my succulents. They are supposed to do better with less alkalinity from the minerals in the hard water.

You know what? This is simple briliant ! Thank you ! 😊 You know what makes you a scientist? All the pasion and love you put in what you doing to help us .God bless you!

I've just got into model steam engines... distilled water now costs a fortune and this has saved me loads and allowed me to enjoy my hobby more. Thanks 😊

I like your originality and openness in your videos. You don't need to be an expert to impart your knowledge. Your video on distilled water nailed it for me. Thanks so much

absolute genius. one of the best DIY videos I have watched

So excellent to see how simple that can be! I'm embarking on a protocol for Lyme disease and will need distilled water. Just wondering if you came across anything with the metal of the pot lid or the metal for storing the distilled water after. Is the distilled water affected at all by the metals? Thank you so much if you know! Am definitely going to be doing this process!

Great DIY for distilled water! I use distilled water for my indoor plants as it is the closest to rain water and I have found my plants grow best without all the minerals and stuff found in tap water. Thank you for the video!

Thanks for this video, clearly explained. I’ve searched almost all the stores around where I live but no luck.....now I can make mine myself 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

You should put the ice before it heats up or else the glass can break

Thank you so much for making this video!! I appreciate it and my iron and plants definitely appreciate it.

I know this was 3 yrs ago, but I appreciate you sharing this. To take the time and share a free video to help share knowledge, to me, means you care. Thank you very much!!

That's actually a smart invention. I have been using a distiller for the past two years but it needs electricity. this is a good option if I have no electricity. thanks!

I do this and store it in ball jars, in fact I actually make it drip directly into the ball jar, it works perfectly because the pots handle fits inside the jar perfectly. Win-win, everything gets sterilized. I use it to rinse the Ph tester and storage is easy

Thank you so much for this video! Googled "how to" and your video was first to pop up. Perfect video with what I needed when I needed it. 🥰

Thank you for showing it step by step! Simple to the point! 👏🏽

Excellent video and very well said! My 2 sons and I are going to make distilled water today, as 1 of our school science projects. We use it a lot in our house for our aroma-therapy machines and more. thank You for doing this. Love your personality as well.

So glad I found this as I'm wanting moss for my bonsai and clean soft water is recommended for it :)

Thanks genus, coming from a doctor and a chem eng. Form my laboratory days we used to make distilled water using a glass reactor, but now you thought me genus. I use this distilled water to wash my eye, once a week now make for drinking. So simple yet we make it complex, thanks genus. Love it

That is so simple! I love it. As long as the boiling is gentle you can even separate salt from sea water.

Thank you so much! I make a diy electronics cleaner (1:1 ratio of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol) but didn’t have any bits of leftover distilled water on hand. Thanks for saving me a trip to the store!

Well done mate! Could also use this method to turn sea water into fresh water...and add just a little bit of the salt left over in the pan to get the necessary minerals.

Thank you I appreciate you sharing this information. I give my plants and myself distilled water and it has gotten pricey now that the prices have increased recently. Thank you for showing us how to create this at home.

Great video for DIY distilling. I have bought a water distiller a year ago and I love drinking the pure water but I add a couple of pinches of Himalayan sea salt to the water to add some minerals back to the water and it improves the taste too

This video is one of the wonders of YT and the internet, imo. Straightforward, direct, and easy to do. Outstanding, sir! BRAVO!!!

Amazing!

You earned another subscriber. Thanks for sharing this informative video listing all the pros and cons along with stating the fact that everyone needs to do their own research as well. But I'm going to give this a try. Once again thanks for the info.

This was super helpful and practical. Using household tools as well. Better than what a complicated scientist would have done 👍

Thanks for this informative video! I am a new CPAP user & realized after getting home with my machine that I forgot to get the distilled water needed for the humidifier on it. This is very helpful, as I didn't want to have to go back out tonight to search the stores in my local small town for distilled water. 😊👍🏻

hi there from england! i needed distilled water to clean my retainers but didn’t know if it was possible to make it from home, so thanks for this video! 👍🏼will be trying later today

I’m truly grateful for this video. Every other video I’ve seen on distilling water involved buying expensive chemistry equipment or moonshine equipment. Your solution is everyday simple, and is a godsend. Thank you.

Thank You! I purchased a new quilting iron for approximately $125. And I do NOT have soft water! I have my own well! So I needed to know how to distill water for my iron! Thank you so very much, I couldn’t see myself purchasing water in a store!! Thank you thank you

Thank you very much , i was about to order an expensive one for my oxygen convertor / nebuliser much appreciated this :)

I know others said this, but I'm so glad I watched this. Honestly been trying to do this forever but got really intimidated, really quick. most people are super detailed and scientific and want you to buy some expensive ass equipment, and unless you've got the time and money you're shit outta luck. This video simplified it SO WELL that I was successful in my attempt! Thank you SO MUCH!

This is a cool technique for those who maybe live somewhere where purchasing distilled water might be difficult or inconvenient! I started to try this for myself though, and quickly came to conclusion that for the amount of time I would have to run my stove to do this, I'm probably not saving any money vs just buying distilled water for $1 a gallon from the supermarket, lol.
