Take a pan that will hold water. Build a slanted box to go around it. Lay a sheet of glass over the box. Put a gutter on bottom of the glass that can catch the water as it rolls down the glass (lowest area). Connect a tube to the gutter that will go to your gallon jug. Set in the sun. In the morning go get your water and refill the water that has evaporated. Way cheaper than $6k. Make it as big as you need.

Then add a solar still to get better than commercially distilled water. Of course the idiots in Oregon will probably make legislation banning this.

Lots of naysayers here, that I'm guessing are clueless about what it's like to live in the desert. Especially, in an urban setting. I've often lamented that we desert-dwellers, really have no options for SHTF, drinking water sources. Let alone systems to gather and store it. I'm so excited to find this video, and learn that there's a company, just North from me, that has been working on a solution. Here in the Sonoran Desert, we're not only extremely arid, and extremely hot, but we are landlocked, without lakes, rivers, or streams. The only time we have rain of any significance, is during Monsoon season, a few weeks out of the year, and even that can be hit or miss when it comes to any chance of catchment systems. It's just not a reliable source. Thank you so much, for sharing about this option. It makes a lot of sense for many around the world, living in arid climates.

Of course you must have enough space in your yard where the sun can still hit the panels. The ground is a natural insulator. And with low e- glass in triple pane, it might avoid freezing temperatures in a large portion of the country. After building a semi-pit greenhouse, I was amazed at the difference of avoiding quick spikes in temperature. And it Also prolonged the growing time in the greenhouse.

We love the system. Had it for two years and was the best decision after going full solar for the power. I LOVE the noise it makes because it reminds me of a Sci-Fi movie and high-tech. Best of all, it does that without any source of external power. Zero Mass installed a lot of them here in Puerto Rico at various fire departments after the hurricane.

Why not simply catching rainwater? As people already do for millions of years, including people in the deserts of Arizona and Texas and is far simpler and cheaper? Our house can catch on average 100 gallons a day and not 2, plus it costs a fraction of it. 🤷🏻♂️

Pure is a chemistry term, not a biological one. Pure means that there is only one of that (element, molecule, compound, etc..). Until the mineral cartridge what this thing produces is PURE water, meaning there is only H2O (with some air gasses dissolved in it 😄). What you've implied is "sterile" or "harmless" which refers to the pathogen in it.

Solar stills would be very difficult to use on a boat: Pitching and rolling would be constantly threatening to contaminate your freshwater with the saltwater you're trying to desalinate.
