Do you think using a steamer to distill water would work, I want it to drink, I have a health problem and I want to distill it before deionizing it. I know of people who've been able to reduce their meds doing this, but they have expensive equipment I don't have the money for.
@Tombuchaill my 1st experiment was with a steamer(electric...almost instand steam for cookin). i had a big tube(big flexable white plumming tube to collect in jug, also wraped it with clean flim(so steam wouldnt escape)...it didnt go well(steam was too hot for some of the plastic i was using). i beleive one could be fashoined(mayb if the steamer was in a plastic container(check4 temp resist) with the lid on...mayb container tilted to collect or with small hole)..good luck
@681observer Ah thanks for your help! I'll have a look around and see what I can get my hands on. I'll treat it as a project so I don't get too frustrated with it not working straight away :-) Thanks for the uploads x
I am using a pressure cooker tubing is connected to a stainless steal coil in a bucket of water. I am getting water but when I measured it it was showing it was 111 ppm and my sink water measure 112. Now I know distilled water should measure 00 ppm I even ran it through a carbon filter and it read 26 ppm what am I doing wrong. and what is safe water measures in ppm if I cant get distilled water to come through HELP PLEASE what am I doing wrong with this distiller.
don't use the plastic tube, instead use stainless steel, not just any stainless, the one used for food (sorry, don't know the scientific label) or use glass tubes.
Dear all, TDS has little to do with safe water... In fact if you drink distilled water you will LEACH trace elements OUT of your body and potentially in the long term die...
also,
Boiling water: INCREASES TDS (as less water but the same solids means the concentration (ppm = mg/L) will rise).
@cahriisss yes, boiling water does increase the ppm. But he only took the boiling part so the minerals would stay at the bottom. and 008 is a health ppm if its minerals. So i would take maybe a very little bit of the "dust" and put it in the distiled so then its healthy and tastes good.

TDS is "Totally Dissolved Solids". 180?? That's REALLY effing high. I haven't drank tap water in probably a good 8 years. BUt, wouldn't you be better off with a stainless steel piping to distill the water into the destination container? I wouldn't use rubber or plastics if you plan on drinking it. I would use only glass, stainless steel and if you use rubber, make sure the water doesn't pass over any of it. Toxins will leech back into the "distilled" water.
@JOHNNYH8STHENWO nope, just good old chlorine like they gave the jews in the concentration camps.i'd like to see some real test done on some of the trace elements...to see if they really needed for the human body
@681observer Chlorine actually isnt bad for the human body in small doses. About 3 drops per ever 16oz of water. what it does is kills all the bacterias that may be present in your water. Especially useful for survival out doors.
@681observer Can you try to do with your distillation apparatus: to distil the same water 2-3 times and check the ppm to see how it's cleaner to the single distillation, if it does change anything.
and also to run a single time distilled water(23ppm) thru a filter to see if the filter purify anything or leave some craps in to the distilled water.
Thanks if you do that and post the results. i'm interested to know a bit more.
@hustal69 those are good questions but i have a megahome distiller now which produces perfect 0.0(tds reading) h2o and now focus my experiments on colloidal silver.i wouldve thought it would improve it, but i would b guessn. thanks for you comment
@hustal69 whats your reason for distilling water...mine is to use for making colloidal silver and for preparations for economic and civilization breaking down(living off grid)+its very hard to find anywere that sells in the uk
A very field expedient technique well done. what is the TDS on boiled water? It`s almost hard to believe now that there was a time when you could drink right out of the streams.

@CheeseToastHax
I said "boiling water increased TDS" because of a comment below, someone wanted to know what TDS of boiled water would be (as if somehow less)...
I'm a chemical engineer, lord help the world if i didnt know solids don't end up in the distillate lol.

Do you have flouride in your water like we do in the US?

@hustal69 I don't think it does, it only takes the least stubborn impurities from the water. Look up the Brita website and go to FAQ
