for cheap steam distilled water try hooking up a tea kettle. Run copper tubing out the top and up about 2-3 feet. Keeping the water just at boiling (not rapid) helps keep the heavy minerals from steaming up with the water, as does the length of the tubing. reduce at top and spiral down to a collector. You can use the same set up as they do for making alcohol - but much easier. some reference sites: http://lorien.ncl.ac.uk/ming/distil/distil0.htm solar H2O distillers http://solstice.crest.org/efficiency/strawbale-list-archive/9706/msg00181.ht ml

Seems I am always running out. Presently I drink Reverse Osmosis water. Would the change from RO water to distilled water for drinking be a worthwhile move?
