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

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.

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 3 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@@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 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

Not even kidding you, I tried doing this, this very morning for my husband's cpap machine. I floated a metal bowl in mine that was just smaller in diameter than my big pot I couldn't find distilled in all of Spartanburg Saturday. It took me 2 hours to make a half cup. Ugh! Walmart finally had some in stock when I went this afternoon. But I'm glad I know how to do it. But I stood there wondering, what keeps the water I'm collecting from turning to steam too? 😳

@edieboudreau9637 2 жыл бұрын

@LeAnn Lewis. Nothing. I turn off burner & leave mine on stove overnight and collect the distilled water in the morning. It's more that way . As air outside the pot cools it condenses the steam back into water. Best Time to do this is in winter. You'll get more distilled water from it.

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.

@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.
