@@PlantbasedRunners When I was quite often in the States earlier the 90's the Americans liked to hear german language. It was some kind of funny to me. Because I do not think that german is a well sounding language. I suppose french is more 'musical'. The Russians say that german sounds to them like dog barking. Well.... I am neither american nor russian. So I can not say anything about that what impression they have about german.

@@TheProverbialHater no worries...in municipal tap water, due to boil off temperatures....the Chlorine and Trihalomethanes go first. Hence in certain Distillers they have an end sachet filter of activated charcoal. Even better is to use a reverse osmosis system first and break the chloramine bond, THEN use a distiller ... This video would be great if you were using water from a spring with known constituents.

Water companies rarely talk about the presence of Trihalomethanes, because they are so ubiquitous. Also Trihalomethanes are a result of Chlorine damaged water, are so varied that only a small segment are measured and thirdly Trihalomethanes are KNOWN Carcinogens.

@@kfcfan think the question is geared more towards how free from minerals the water is. If one has really hard water (say, like mine, coming in at nearly 2,000 parts per million) then does this method remove a fair bit of that hardness? I suspect that it does.

@@gabrielleangelica1977 Ceramics and glassware ought to do just fine though. It's difficult to do on a large scale to combat droughts, because it takes a lot of energy to boil/evaporate a lot of water. You can take a quick read on desalination to make sea water drinkable, which a lot of coastal cities or navy vessels often use.

That vapour that is produced once boiling is the pure water. It's all about trapping the steam which is clean and leaving the mess behind. So just boiling will only remove pure water in the form of steam and leave you with extra mess and less water.
