Distilled water is a pure and mineral-free water that has been purified through a process of boiling and condensation. It’s often used for drinking, cooking, and in industrial applications such as car batteries and steam irons. While you can easily purchase distilled water from the store, making your own distilled water at home can be a simple and affordable alternative.
To make your own distilled water, you’ll need a few basic tools and materials, including a large container, a smaller container, a heat source (such as a stovetop), and water. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Gather the materials
To make your own distilled water, you’ll need the following materials: a large container, a smaller container, a heat source (such as a stovetop), and water.
Step 2: Fill the large container with water
Fill the large container with the water you want to distill. Make sure the water level is below the rim of the smaller container.
Step 3: Place the smaller container above the large container
Place the smaller container above the large container, making sure that it’s not touching the water.
Step 4: Boil the water
Place the still on the heat source and turn it on. The water in the large container will begin to boil.
Step 5:
Store the distilled water
Once the process is complete, it’s now time to store the distilled water in a clean container. It’s important to ensure that the container is properly sealed to prevent any contaminants from entering the distilled water. Make sure to label the container with the date it was made so you can keep track of its freshness.
Distilled water can be stored for up to six months in a cool, dry place. However, it’s best to use it within three months to ensure its quality and purity.
By making your own distilled water, you can save money compared to buying commercially-sold distilled water. You also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly how the water was processed and that it’s free from any contaminants.
