If you’re looking for a simple and affordable way to obtain pure distilled water, you may want to consider distilling it yourself at home. Distilled water is water that has gone through a process of purification, where impurities and minerals are removed, leaving you with water that is free of contaminants and minerals.
There are various methods to distill water at home, but one of the simplest and most affordable methods is to use a basic still. A basic still is composed of a large container, a smaller container, and a heat source.
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: Collect the steam
As the water boils, steam will rise and collect in the smaller container. The steam will condense back into liquid form when it hits the cooler surface of the smaller container. This condensation is your distilled water.
Step 6: Store the distilled water
Once the process is complete, the distilled water is ready for use. It’s now safe to pour the distilled water into a clean container and store it. Distilled water can be used for drinking, cooking, and other household uses. It can also be used in a variety of industrial applications, such as in car batteries, steam irons, and more.
Making your own distilled water at home is a simple and affordable way to obtain high-quality water that’s free of impurities and minerals. So why not give it a try?
