One good point to make: store distilled water comes in plastic jugs and as distilled water is (empty) water, it will absorb plastic molecules from the jug plus the chemicals from the plastic. Also, the minerals missing from distilled are readily replaced by the foods we eat, so no worries about missing minerals. Also, you can drink distilled with no harm by simply adding a pinch of sea salt to put in the good minerals. Last advice: Let the water come to a boil before adding the lid over it to release any VOC gasses that may be in the source water.
It's so profound, I have been sick for 3 weeks with a weird throat bug and my body just filled up with dead cells (green puss) soooo much, my stomach has been so toxic feeling, like too much salt, years ago by my own mind come up with the idea of pulling, using deminerised water to draw out toxins, so I drank one big cup of deminerised water and within 1hrs the toxic feeling had gone, why do we need water with minerals when we eat healthy and get all we need , we don't, I'm blown away by the quick effect
@@oldtimerlee8820I am not advising best treatment, but if you have none of that distilling could save someone's life. I was just pointing out that the fall out is too heavy to rise with the steam. 99 percent of people do not have access to carbon filters and reverse osmosis. Just a simple pot and ability to boil is better than nothing.
There are DIY distillers. Recently saw a video where someone used a pressure cooker / canner. Have seen them made using stock pots. A number of variations from very simple to the equivalent of distilling moonshine. The latter used to be common in my rural area in the SE US.
Great idea to invert a glass pot lid. Easy method for turning out qualities of distilled water based on the size of the vessels. I have a large stock pot (without a vent hole) that would work well. Suspect I can use a wide mouth 1/2 gal mason jar to collect the water. Thinking that I can put a platform of some kind in the pot. Then set the jar on it, so the mouth of the jar is just below the handle. That would allow a considerable amount of water to be put into the pot itself. Use a canning jar lifter to remove the hot jar, when its nearly full. Jar should be narrow enough to adding more water to the pot, as needed, would be easy, too. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the inspiration! Appreciated.
I have had trouble, off and on, finding distilled water for my CPAP. It never occurred to me that I could make my own, I thought it was a complicated process. Thanks so much!
OmG! 62 years old how did I not know this?!? Thank you Jinne! I just filled my Cpap and noticed I’m low on water. I don’t think I’ll make it regularly but it sure is handy to know
Great information!! I melt leftover candles and make them into new ones and I put a washcloth in the bottom of my metal pot to keep the glass from jiggling and breaking since some candle holders are thin glass. It works like a charm.
Thank you for the demonstration. That's simple. You can add: -something to elevate the receiving container above the water so it won't float and move. -ice or cold water (in a plastic bag) on top of the installation to keep the lid at a lower temperature compared to the steam. Notice that (as said at 4:00) there is no need for the water to boil. That's why this installation also works when expose to direct solar rays. It will never boil but the vapor will appear as well. For solar installation, use a black and not shinny outside container to absorb and not reflect the solar rays. Have a nice day.
And the Lady Rockstar is BACK!!! You are easily my fave prepper channel. Agree with other comments, can make a really great rehydration drink by adding minerals and salts. A channel called Mary's Nest has a video on how to do this. Many thanks Jinnie, keep 'em coming, babe.
Amazing! I guess thus is what is known as "steam-distilled" water. That's what I buy at the store to make crystal clear colloidal silver with. I could do this if I had to. Thank you, Jinne!
My grandma used to add some salt to the distilled water afterbitvhad cooled. She said it replenished the minerals it lost while distilling. She would use the one with salt for drinking and pure distilled for cooking and everything else.
Great! Thank you! And if you turn that plate upside down the steam from your distilled water won't run down and drip off the edge! Love this. Thank you so much.
Definitely gonna start doing this for my plants. At some point, I run out of stored rainwater even living in Florida, and my fancy plants HARE tap water.
Try putting a folded wash cloth in the bottom of the pan. Will help keep glass bowl in place, and keep it from breaking by cushioning it from the rocking when the water boils.
Ty so much your intro 2:00 minutes was perfectly timed ⌚ i like adding the timer on the smartphone or the oven stive timer to make noise ⏰ as reminder to go and look if its finished.
Wonderful! My husband uses a CPAP machine and I am a quilter (lots of steam iron usage!) and although it tastes amazing, our water is full of minerals. When I first moved here I didn’t know better and ruined my fancy Rowenta iron. Lately I’ve had a very hard time finding distilled water at WalMart, and Hannaford doesn’t carry it. This will be a great help to me, and this gives me yet another reason to be thankful for your channel! PLUS, I ordered my ThriveLife Valentines Day specials today, thanks so much for telling us about the Flash sale! Hope your day was wonderful and that your Valentine was sweet to you!❤️❤️❤️
@Susan S. Dollar general carries distilled water, too. Near the sodas on the shelf. Looks like plain water but SAYS distilled. My CPAP uses it & when Walmart here limited at beginning of pandemic the local fire department acquired and delivered distilled water. Mine came from dollar general. That's how I learned about it.
Thank you. As a CPAP user this will help so much. I’ve been stock piling some, but those jugs are so thin it doesn’t take much to rupture them. Many thanks for all you teach us.
Thank you! My son uses a CPAP machine and it's getting harder to get the distilled water here. He and I both are relieved to know we can make it ourselves.
I like Himalayan salt, but not so sure all the minerals it contains are organic. Organic minerals come from plants. Plants have the unique ability to transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals. These are the minerals we need. Inorganic minerals are not absorbable by humans and will only cause problems for us... Kidney and gall stones, hardening of the arteries and capillaries in the brain, equals senility. (calcium is an insulator therefore, preventing electrical signals so you cannot recall or process information in your brain... this usually takes many years... hence older folks suffer). We are dependent on plants or animals that eat them for our required minerals. Himalayan salts contain many minerals that may have gone through a plant, but also minerals from the raw earth or the seas. A good thing about Himalayan salt is that it is 250-300 million years old has never been exposed to our modern polluted atmosphere. It is protected by the Himalayan Mountains, which are the highest and youngest mountains on Earth. It is only mined by hand... No powered machinery at all. Properly distilled water is simply pure H2O only... It has a neutral pH of 7, no color, odor, or taste. Water is the universal solvent of all things. Pure water is what we should be consuming. It will not dissolve your bones or any other body parts but will help absorb impurities and toxins, so they can be excreted naturally.
I am making my own water distiller at minute one more part to come in. And should be up and running next week. I have been drinking distilled water from 15/09/21. every day.
You can also sterilize water in a canner. When I have a few spaces left in my canner I add a couple jars of (Berkey)filtered water to my canner and store it just in case we ever need sterilized water 😊
Geez, I learn something new every day. Water has skyrocketed here so this is awesome. Can you store it in plastic containers? Thanks again. Have a blessed night🙂👍
@Faithful patriot. Yes but it's better to store in sealed glass. Plastic actually allows evaporation of water over time. That's why in hotter temps the distilled water you buy has less in it.
Thank you! I received some Venus fly traps and I'm only allowed to use distilled water but I don't want to keep going to the store to feed the cute lil things! I'm gonna try it tonight!
Greetings from the land of ice and snow 😎☕️🥶 Excellent presentation! I had not thought of that and certainly doable! I made my own water distiller: single wall stainless steel water bottle, a lab food grade rubber stopper and 3/8 copper tubing. I duct taped one end and filled with sand box sand until it filled the tube completely and duct taped the other end. Used a rolling pin to coil the tube (all but 6 inches on either end) without putting any kinks in it. Once I had the desired coil that I wanted, simply removed the duct tape from both ends and emptied out the sand and washed the tube throughly and let dry. I Slowly drilled a hole through the rubber stopper slightly smaller that the tube for a sealed tight fit. Filled the water bottle with tap water and placed on the stove to boil. Placed a 2 cup glass measuring cup to collect the distilled water.
@Lou M. Snow is distilled water. Fill glass jars from snow after first 12" of snow. (All the pollution has been removed by then. ) Then bring inside where it's warmer. It will slowly melt a room temp back to a liquid state. Do NOT put on heat source or glass could explode.
@@edieboudreau9637 depends on the air quality report for a given day I believe that would have to be taken into consideration. We have a coal fired power plant here.
Thank you for another great video, cause I need distilled water for my c-pap machine, when I am canning and don't have enough jars to fill my canner, I have canned up some distilled water for the shelves. Happy Valentine's day to you and your husband!💜
Thanks for sharing this. I didn't realize that we don't need to buy a fancy machine that does not work very well, costs a lot and needs maintenance. Can you show a way to distiller larger amounts at a time?
Add a rack to the bottom of the pan so you're bowl/container don't move around, also reduces risks of breakage..
good idea.
This is excellent information! People with CPAP Machines or other medical devices that require it need to know this. Thank you!!!
Buy one, cheap enough

Thank you for this advice
Thats right! That bottled water is only good for cars or cleaning products. Salt and lemon can be added for electrolytes
Can you use stainless steal pot to catch the water that drips in? Or does it only have to be glass?

Love the simplicity of this without al the expensive fangled gadgets
There has Been a Shortage of Distilled Water in our Area. Thanks for Sharing this.
Thank you for not charging us for this information and keeping it simple and
to the point.
Thank you for this info and thanks everyone for the additional comments
This is so helpful! My local Wal-Mart has been out of the distilled water for months.
Same here in Vermont! What would we do without Jinne?!?
Excellent. In an emergency distilling the water is the only way to make sure water has radioactive fall out removed and safe to drink.
Uhmmmmm, I thought that a combination of treatments, including both carbon and reverse osmosis is the preferred method.
@@oldtimerlee8820I am not advising best treatment, but if you have none of that distilling could save someone's life.

good to know you can make this water this way instead of having to buy a distiller, not that they're that expensive but still.

@@Bex-rg8pjbuy one cheap enough
Another tip is to put ice cubes on the outside of the inverted pot cover. It will cause the water vapor to condense much quicker.
Thanks for sharing. So many times I've run out of distilled water for my CPAP, so now I know how to make my own. Awesome idea!
Oh my gosh- information i didn’t even know I needed to know! Thanks you♥️
