Hi, Tony, Can you collect rainwater on a clean plastic surface (e.g. nylon umbrella, inverted, or plastic tarpaulin)?
If I were in a remote location without a source of steam- distilled water, I would use rainwater (filtered through a coffee filter and boiled) before I would use springwater, wellwater or other forms of groundwater. Dissolved minerals are not harmful to ingest, but do interfere with electrolysis. Best regards, Matthew
