Adventures in water distillation.

Added a few stainless steel marbles to the bottom of the undistilled water pan so I can hear if I'm getting close to boiling it dry. Once I understand the method for the giving heat source (induction, natural gas, vegetable oil, wood, etc...) then I can set a timer for how until the water is low.

In an emergency situation, with freezer dried food, you can probably get by on .5 gallon per person a day. Of course, it's smart to have 25+ gallons of water on hand so you aren't immediately forced to go fetch drinking water from a natural source.

If this goes well, I'll move to pond water tests. Today I used tap water with extra ionic minerals, bringing it to 950PPM particulate. Will be curious how long it takes to make a gallon and how much of that 950PPM is removed.
