Solar Seawater Distiller Turns Salt Water into Drinking Water
California which is going through one of it's worst droughts in a long time, may soon be in need of these! This is what we can do when we put our minds to the task at hand.
A genius yet very simple way to produce healthy, bacteria-free water. This is awesome, go to this link and watch the video and let me know your thoughts!

I wonder if what California needs is to start conserving water and valuing it more highly. It appears large parts of the US have a looming long term water crisis.
You bet- what a great innovation- There is more to CA's water problems, however this could be a great start.
I'd love to see full specs (size) and pricing, though. Even though it doesn't produce a lot, if it's not too big or expensive I could get 4 of them, and that would be enough at least for me. I'd rarely have to get water from shore except when I have guests aboard.
You are so right Tom. I was born here in California in 1944 and just saw, the other day, that this is the worst year for rain since 1942. A coupe weeks ago I flew a small plane from Placerville to Columbia, along the foothills and there was no real snow on the Sierra Mountains. Not a good sign.
My wife's family came to California from Oklahoma during the dust bowel days. I told her that her "CVO" family was going to go back to Oklahoma. haha. She kind of chuckled and agreed.
The De-salter system is great. I am deigning a Residential Grey Water Recycle System that will recycle shower, laundry and bathroom sink water to usable landscape water using a bio-sand-filter. If I put in an activated charcoal filter, you could actually use the water for laundry and maybe even drink it. Not sure I want to drink it but if I get it tested and it is OK, who knows. Have to see how it works out.
Great video,

Hi Larry, thanks for chiming in. I would really like to hear from you on your de-salter system once you get it up and running. You are another example of what we can do if we put our minds to- as I said before "The task at hand". My hats off to you and keep up the innovating work!
Hi Tom,
This sounds like a great product, and this could very likely help with California's drought problems. This could also help out other states that are going through a drought as well.
Thanks for sharing this video with everyone here and I look forward to reading more posts from you.
Cheers

Hi Scottie- It sure could, and the ramifications and potential of this new innovation are enormous.

Hi Des - I believe there is a lot we all need to do, to not only start conserving water but by re-thinking how we use it.
I agree. As well as learning how to keep it clean and safe from contamination.
