Default Re: CLEAN WATER - excellant NON-Electrical water distiller

What is the difference between purified water and distilled water? And if you were going to prepare for radioactivity, what would be the best system?
Seriously??

If you are really worried about radioactivity, then you should be researching building your own large scale filtering/water treatement with sand beds and huge carbon filters.

Distillation will work, but the residue that gets left in the tank is concentrated impurity - if that is radioactive then it will be very tricky to deal with safely.

Honestly, the residue that gets left in our water distiller tank after just one session of 4L beggars beleif. It is a horrid brown color and stinks. You would only need to see this once to realise why it is a good idea to treat your water!
