📒 Show Notes 📒

You will need:
1️⃣ A pot
2️⃣ A glass lid larger than the pot
3️⃣ A bowl
4️⃣ Ice cubes

BEFORE heating the water
Step 1: Place the bowl in the pot.
Step 2: Fill the pot with enough water that the bowl floats.
Step 3: Remove the bowl and begin heating the water.

AFTER the water is boiling:
Step 4: Place the bowl inside
Step 5: Place the glass lid on top, upside down
Step 6: Add ice cubes on top of the glass lid (while it's still cool!)

As the water evaporates and becomes steam, it will collect on the underside of the lid and handle.

The ice cubes cause the vapor to condense more quickly.

Now we wait.

Once most of the water has evaporated, we’re ready to collect our distilled water.

Either wait until everything has sufficiently cooled, or use a towel or baking glove to remove the lid and bowl.

And here’s the final result! Homemade distilled water

"Just go buy some at the store" they all say in the comments... then suddenly when they're on a boil water notice because of a natural disaster and the store shelves are empty, they all come running looking for this video. I have store-bought water, rain barrels, a berkey-esque filter and pool shock, and I still found this video useful.

Don't forget to dry the outside of the bowl before you pour your distilled water out

Technically, you don't need to use the ice cube. The condensed water vapor (steam) has nowhere else to go after condensing, so it will flow down to the bowl with or without ice cubes. Since he is constantly adding heat, the ice cubes are not helping to condense the vapors, but are being melted faster due to the burner still being on. (Turn off the heat and yes, the ice cubes will speed up the condensation). - an analytical chemist.

This video should be a template for all DIY videos (Or at least a link to the shorter version) option for those who scroll past the usual blabbing about the subject and get to the part where we're shown how to do stuff.😊

Pro tip: if you filled your pot up with a lot of water, don’t wait too long for the bowl to fill up. It will sink and you’ll lose your progress. Just learned from experience 😔

Just got venus fly trap yesterday named him Grabby! Making distlled water for him right now!❤

[WifeMamaArtist]

Turn the temperature right down before adding the ‘lid’ or everything will boil over and scald your hand. (Learnt the hard way…)

For the people commenting saying that you can just purchase a gallon at the store, a lot of us want to not only save money on buying a few jugs weekly that cost about $1.50 now, but also reduce the plastic waste. We run humidifiers for our plants and my allergies/asthma, so need it all the time. This adds up.

Extremely helpful video, thank you!

Now, if I can only find a solution to make 60 gallons a month without spending a fortune...I think I need a bigger pot.

[Sreyam]

You can purchase a one-gallon bottle of distilled water from Target for just $1. But if you need it on the fly this method is great, used it to calibrating a refractometer for salt water aquarium saved me the hassle of going to the store.

Thanks!

I would have swapped the bowls and used the metal bowl to put inside the pot. Use a heat resistant glove to take it out.

[Aflipsterguy]

Well if it was you who made this solution then I give you mad props but either way I thank you for sharing your knowledge

[MrJdcirbo]

Has anyone tested these home distilled water processes? How pure is the water, really, after the process?

[ec]

How long did it take to evaporate most of the water? And how long would it take to make 1 gallon of distilled water this way?

[taraakins]

Had to water my Venus fly trap ( a gift so I wasn’t prepared with distilled water and live quite a ways from a store) this really helped in a time of need. Thank you for making the video!

[bustergundo]

Good tip. May have to try this one day.

[MyLily_M]

Thanks for sharing with us to let us know how to make homemade distilled water.

[oflbekb]

Very helpful yet simple, thank you so much <3

feel free to polish it off with activated coconut charcoal, if you want to go the extra step to catch any gaseous chemicals that may have entered the pure water. I highly recommend it and if urgent you can also make your own charcoal too if you don't have access to but it at a store or online then make your own charcoal, it just wont be activated but works good too. ~someone who cares about human life.

Doing this with a fermented mix of water, honey, and blackberries!! What could go wrong??
