Easiest way to make distilled water ?


Recommended Posts

It is the weekend and no way to buy the distilled water you might need for watering / germinating the seeds you just wanna kick start ?

This happens to me am Just heat water vaporize it fetch the cloudy dowwnfall and press it through a filter of any kind.

That is the theory behind it.

What to use ? Coffe filter - later for cleaning maybe..clean cloth seems to be the best imo...Got nor real idea how to make it fast and very clean.

I will report how this went. I need only about 0,3 litres - so that shouldn't be such a time consuming thing...

Any tipps ?

Yeah, but now it is too late - only automatic

The method with boiling a pot of water + cloth don't really work and you can easily get burnt by the hot air- even if scloth is oaking wet you get next to nothing.

Some kind of vaporizer glass bowl should be better.

I use cooked watrter cooled off - should work as well for drowning the seeds.

If you only need a little water for seeds , then get some ice than has built up on the inside of you freezer (prefferably scraped from the top Ceiling of the freezer), Where there are no stray pea's and whatnot.

This effectively the same as distilled water.

This ice is made from water vapor that has come from the atmosphere when you open the door and residual moisture from the food you freeze.

It does not have the impurities that tap water does ie chlorine, calcium etc.

Condensing you own distilled water is not worth the effort and the cost for the parts needed to make it are out weighed buy the cheapness of buying it.

Possibly consider buying a reverse osmosis unit in the future, something like a 50 gallon per day one, try checking RV (recreational Vehical) supplies for a small unit.

RO (reverse osmosis) units depending on how many filters they have, can take out 99% maybe higher of all impurities in tap water.

If you just use the RO unit just for watering your plants , it will last a very long itme.
