You can buy home distillers. I’m not sure how easy it would be to do without one.

is this to drink? if not I believe the water you get when you defrost your freezer is distilled. Or you could try website that sell equipment for boats, you might get away with a small emergency cheap one.

Distillation is acheived by heating water until it becomes steam, then allowing it to condense back into water. It removes more impurities than other methods.

just boil it for a long time that should do the trick ok

To Distill water, simply fill a large pot with water from your kitchen sink and let it sit a few days… What doesn’t evaporate is distilled.

Last one - anonymous has the best method. Make sure you fill it up a lot. Whatever’s left after 48-72 hours will be distilled.

I thought that to get distilled water, you boiled water with some kind of lid above it that has a way for the condensation to run off into a separate container (a jug or whatever). The condensation is the distilled water because the impurities got left behind. Distilled water is fine for drinking, but reverse osmosis is probably the best way to purify water if that’s what you’re really looking for. I probably wouldn’t just boil it because that just seems to concentrate whatever is in your water in the first place. My fiance & I have been buying water that’s been processed by reverse osmosis because the water where we live has so many nitrates and other things in it—basically, we don’t want our baby drinking the local water.
