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.
Great demonstration! I've always wondered how to do this in an easy way! Thanks, Jinne!
It helps to put cool water on top of the upside-down lid
Love it!!! so simple
How much minerals do you add to the water
Just collect rain water simple
The first drop is distilled.But when it falls as rain, it picks up germs, dust, smoke, minerals, lead, and many other atmospheric chemicals.
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
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.
Excellent observations, thanks so much❤
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?
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
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.
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?!?
You can get all of your minerals and more through adding Himalayan salt to distilled water my advice would be don't ever drink water out of a tap
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.
Thank you, that was interesting.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: There is a "common" misconception that Distilled water somehow leaches out ALL of the bodies minerals when it is ingested. This is one of those HALF truths that so many of us have fallen prey to. The facts are that it does remove the INORGANIC minerals that are causing our joints to stiffen and our arteries to clog, those minerals that are found in mineral water which pick up the inorganic material from rock, the earth etc. Our bodies Can NOT assimilate these materials anyway. The Minerals that we, however do require are ORGANIC and found in the plant kingdom in fruits and vegetables. Those ORGANIC minerals are most definitely required and because they have the same negative charge as the Distilled Water, they are not being attracted nor are they removed by dinking distilled water. The INORGANIC materials are positively charged and are drawn out of the body and excreted in our urine, our feces and our perspirations. That is very much what we should want. DISTILLED water is the purest form of water we can obtain much better than mechanical filtering or even reverse osmosis. The liquid water within the plant structures is rich in the necessary minerals, amino acids and other ORGANIC material that our bodies require. WHY then would anyone even mistakenly suggest that drinking Distilled Water is dangerous. It is just the opposite. If You prefer to drink straight tap water (with its chlorine and fluoride and pharmaceutical debris of all sorts), or well water (with its high INORGANIC Mineral content such as lime, iron etc that causes the body great stress), then by all means go right ahead. Personally, I only want the very purest form of water that I can obtain (and that is DISTILLED WATER). Thank You, however for your interesting method of making distilled water from home. That is a good service that you have provided. Thank You for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
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
Same here….62 and did not know.
@@Bex-rg8pjbuy one cheap enough
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.
Do you know what type of salt?
@@charbertolahmahnz9173purest sea salt you can find, or Celtic, or Himalayan pink - not ordinary table salt, with all the chemicals added!
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!
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.
There has Been a Shortage of Distilled Water in our Area. Thanks for Sharing this.
Amazing! I was always curious about how water was distilled. Many many thanks for this! You are awesome 💜
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. 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.
P⁰⁰0⁰p😅@@oldtimerlee8820
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♥️
I’m so glad you made this video - my husband & I were just talking about this the other day!
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.
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.
You do just want to drink distilled water distilled water is rainwater as God intended you get all of your minerals from your food if you eat properly and if you don't then just add Himalayan salt
There are higher quality salts than Himalayan, depending on where it was sourced and how it was mined, Himalayan salt has been known to contain heavy metals.
@@michaelk270 yes ..so I’ve been inform...everything is tainted these days ...generally...think I’m more concerned about the child slave labour...breaks my heart!
You can drink distilled water every day. Simply add minerals back into the water. IE. Good salt (not bleached table salt) or lemon, apple cider vinegar, or electrolyte drops or powder.
This was such a great video, thank you for teaching me something I didn't know!🌺
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.
Love the simplicity of this without al the expensive fangled gadgets
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?
I've been doing it for years because I'm trying to get away from plastic. I also add cold water on top of the upside down lid. It speeds it up. I
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.
This is something to keep in mind in a pinch, but it's important to note that this is not going to be a pure as properly distilled water. Without controlling the temperature, there's no way to know what else you are converting to steam and transferring to the product. Distillation works by bringing a solution of somewhat known components up to known temperatures. For example, if you had a solution of an alcohol, water, and salt, you would bring the solution up to the boiling temperature of the alcohol, because it boils at the lowest temp, until you had steamed it off (@JamesThomson-xl4yu hinted to something like that below). Once the alcohol was believed to be steamed off (or measured lol) then you would raise the solution to the boiling point of water and distill that. Since it was never raised to the boiling point of salt you would have somewhat pure water; given a proper distillation system. Simply boiling and collecting the steam is not necessarily distilling.
Love your channel, so I don't mean anything bad. Just important that people know the difference. In a pinch though, this is probably better than simply boiling. That said, a decent filter and boiling will make most water drinkable in a pinch.
CONSIDERATION: Fluoride will boil along with the water vapor.
I am definitely trying it! Will let you know how it goes..hey Thanks! .
Subscribed!
Great video, very helpful, thank you for sharing this!!❤
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.
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!
If this is all I needed for the "distilled water" thats required for refilling the nasal spray bottle, its a 100000/10!
Great to know! I only use distilled water in my steam iron so I don't need to clean off the white stuff that can gather on the plate. Thanks!
I'm puzzled. You don't want tap water in your car battery because of all the little nasties in it, but you'll drink it and put it in your body with those same nasties...just to get the miniscule amounts of essential minerals our bodies need, which you can get from your food?
Drink distilled only, get minerals from your vegetables🤔🤔🫡
Excellent! Excellent! You are a fount of useful information! What a blessing you are to us!
Thank you for not charging us for this information and keeping it simple and
to the point.
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.
Great video. How long does it take to fill the glass?
I was just going to ask that question myself!
Thanks! I've seen some videos where they add ice to the lid. Some say it's necessary, some say it makes no difference at all. Just wondering, have you tried the ice method?
This is not very much water, when your supposed to have 8 bottles of water a day.?..??
Its not economical consuming a lot of electricity(gas) to make water ..😵
Why can’t you just boil water for 10 minutes or high pressure water and your pressure canner seems like I’d be a lot easier
Can i use the water bath pot and sit whatever container i have on the rack inside to do this?
@CloseCall2001. Yes. Just make sure your lid seats tightly.
Distilled water sure gets expensive. We use it in 2 CPAP machines and 2 humidifiers. Probably run through 4 gallons at least every week. Looks easy, but time consuming to get the amount of water needed. Thanks for the information!
And how much would u spend on gas boiling water to get a gallon of distilled water, do the math and please let us know!!!
I only drink distilled. I use Celtic sea salt to supplement minerals.
Great vidoe. I'm wondering how long it takes.
Oh my gosh! I never thought of this! I go thru distilled water like the wind. It’s all I give to my geckos to drink as chlorinated water is terrible for them. Plus I have a couple fancy rats (10) and it’s also what they drink. Thanks for this it will save me some dollars!
You should give your critters Spring water because it has the necessary minerals for body functions. Distilled water is for certain types of appliances like steamers, flat irons, and medical devices
@@pinschrunner I add mineral supplements to their diets already. Plus I use high quality feed for my rats , plus fresh veggies and fruits daily. The geckos get a varied insect diet and and high quality powders, plus supplementation for calcium and a blended mix of fresh fruits 2x a week. I’ve been doing this along time. Thank you though for the input I appreciate it.😃
Awesome! I use distilled water for my neti pot!!
Distilled water in gallon jugs is also a great way to store water if youre in an apartment and cant put a big water storage barrel in, you can tuck them in here and there & there's no critters inside to grow and make the water gross^^
Most water jugs are biodegradable. Designed to break down in landfills. Keep a close eye on your jugs, as they can spring leaks. I had floor damage by the time I caught the problem with jugs of water that I stored. Now, I always replace bottled water, of any kind, around the time Best By ends. Water itself does not have a shelf life. Water lasts forever. Canned, it can be stored in glass jars for endless years, as long as the jar lid doesn't rust. However disposable containers definitely does not. Water bottles will begin to distort about a year after purchase. Those jugs, I mentioned failed slightly before their Best Buy dates. Didn't catch the leaking in time to prevent ruining my floor. (sigh)
You can use the stored water for many purposes, so it doesn't go to waste, as you replace it periodically. Often use ours for watering plants. Can dump it into a top loading washing machine. Mop a floor or wash the car.
@@oldtimerlee8820 Thanks for the info on that, been @5-6 months the oldest ones are, so I'll keep an eye out on it. I rotate the supply as me and the cats use it, but have been working up to having a year's supply so maybe i'll stop at @ 6-9 mos supply. Have lots of purification options, so storage is really just a bonus. Thanks again.
@@goofyroofy Appreciate that you let me know that I could be of help. If you have good sources of raw water that you can filter, as needed, suspect that a couple of months is all you need to store water.
FWIW... Here, I store enough water to get me through the initial stages of a disaster / grid down situation. Enough time for me to backup plans into operation. There's a creek that originates from a spring in a wooded area near my house. Will be fairly easy to turn that raw water into potable water by several means already in place.
Evaluate your situation as to what your actual water storage circumstances dictate with regards to how much you keep on hand. Your budget and storage space may be better served for other purposes than storing a huge amount of water. On the other hand that may be the best uses of space. Requirements in arid regions often vary greatly from areas with plenty of rainfall.
No special tools? You need a stove that special.. not everyone has a stove..
Putting ice cubes in the top of the upside down lid speeds this process , as they melt you will have to dump that water off . Fast method
Thank u so much, next video How to make heavy water!!
Can you put a little bit of Celtic sea salt, that's loaded with minerals?
Thank u, next video how to make super heavy water!!
good tutorial. take electrolytes with minerals every day so not an issue for me. thanks! i
Thanks, Jinnie, like many I can't find it lately and need it for my husband's CPAP machine. I love knowing how to do things like this:)
love me some good home cooking. thanks for this recipe
If stranded near the ocean this get you much needed fresh water to avoid dehydration.
How long did that take? Do u boil the whole time or get it boiling and then turn it down?
How long does this water stay distilled?
This is great information. Never know what info you will need later even if not now. Thank you for all of your videos.
I had seen this before but forgot how to do it. We are getting things to make our own Berkley also. Love your videos. Keep up the great work 👍
How are you making your own Berkey? I’m very interested in this!
@@delgadojmar She made a video on it. Using 2 pots from Walmart and a filter.
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.
Neat idea,never seen one before. Your videos are so informative about common things no one thinks about! Nice!
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.
❤❤❤give u easy technics
I'm wondering if I can use a 64oz juice can that would almost reach the handle of the pan's lid, it'll heat up faster and collect the condensation of the boiling water without having to readjust the temperature of the pan? Will this work?
It should, I would just be concerned about the aluminum from the can.
Important skill to know. Thanks 😊
wow this mom is genius
LOVED THIS. THANKS!! BY FAR THE EASIEST, CHEAPEST, AND MOST HEATHY WAY TO MAKE IT.
You can just fill quart jars and last for years ? Thank you for sharing..
Would this work to remove salt from salt water? Living coastal in SoCal, my concern is a water source if all goes to heck in a hand basket and our water is unavailable.
Yes!
Wow, that is so simple! Thank you, jinnie
Thank you Jinne, valuable information! God bless!
Can you use a stainless steel cup?
Does it remove fluoride?
Yes the information is good but the power bill will double because it is taking a half day for a half cup of water, I did that
Could easily be done on a woodstove or campfire for free.
Thank you so much 💜🌎🕊
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I was just wondering the other day how to make this! Thx!
I always wondered how to do this. Thanks Jenni.
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.
@@loum3733 true. That WOULD be a factor
Great information.
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.
@@edieboudreau9637 thank you soooo much! I’ll definitely be making some using Jinne’s ‘recipe’, but there’s something to be said for convenience, too!
How to starts 2:00
This is super helpful to know how to do. Thanks.
That is cool , thank you Jinne , till next time
Starts @2:00
How long did it take you to get that much distilled water?
That was a few hours, you can add cold liquid or ice to the top to speed it up.
great video!!
Excellent presentation TY
Could u use your canner and put sterilized jars in it?
@Susan Moore. Yes. Remember to put the rack in the jars sit on.
