Distillation removes most contaminants from drinking-water and can be used at the household level. This method can be expensive due to the cost of fuel for heating; the volume of water produced is also low.

How to use: 

• Two vessels are required, one for contaminated water and one for fresh
• The vessels need to be attached via a tube or chamber, which should ideally be cooled
• Heat the first vessel and allow water vapour to rise, cool and collect in the second vessel‌

Can Treat:

• Pathogens
• Arsenic
• Calcium
• Chloride
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Manganese
• Nitrate & Nitrite
• Odour & taste
• Sodium
