How much would it cost to boil 500 litres of water a day?! How big a kettle have you got?
-
;)

Quite the opposite. Boiled water will have a higher TDS as the pure water is evaporated away. Think of the water cycle. Sea water is evaporated to clouds and rains nearly pure.

Boiling water doesn't remove the impurities. You'd have to boil it, channel the vapour and condense it to have pure water.

Not sure I get that, but hay ho.
Tosh, what about boiling the water in a room with a de-humidifier - that could collect the pure water. Before anyone says about using electric, you could simply have a cauldron-type thing with a log fire underneath to boil off the water.
Just get an ro and di.
Cuts out the need for a fire in the back of the van!

Maybe but at least the van wouldn't freeze in winter ;D (what was left of it anyway).

The title of this thread shouldn't be 'I think I'm on to something about making pure water '
it should be
'Im on something, and I feel disconnected from reality.'
thats funny matt

dont you just love this forum ;D ;D ;D

SSWC,
How much are RO systems round your way? ;D
-
I haven't tried it yet, but I read that boiling salt removes 80% of the impurities in it. So what about just boiling tap water, letting it cool down - could this be a better way to make pure water? Maybe it might have to go in a DI resin bottle after, but might save having an RO?
Does that mean bringing dry salt crystals to boling point ? or bringing salt water to boiling point ? two different things.
Are you trying to get water more pure than an RO/DI set up. I have 20 litres of Pure condednsed water (cooled steam) also distlilled water , if you want me to experiment with it ?
Just trying to help, ignore the negative comments.

Cheapest way would be to source the nearest spring or bore hole then run through di I would have thought.
Even easier is to harvest rainwater.
-
Sorry mate to tell you. The day you had a sickie from school you missed out on the lesson on condensing and purifying water.

leave the guy alone it was only a suggestion so he didnt know about ro / di ? big deal some people on here need to learn what tact is, and how to deal with others, im surprised some have friends and customers the way they treat complete strangers
just because your mad they changed your name find a new way to let out the anger dude leave people alone

I am bonkers its true, but I also have a habit of being a bit of a humourous fellow.
Lighten up mush, its only a joke. Some people take everything all so seriously.
just thought it was a bit harsh mate
was sticking up for the guy

No, don't boil anything ???
Rainwater is nearly pure, some spring water supplies are nearly pure. No need to boil. ???
Hasn't April 1st gone now?

Lets not let these changes on this forum take away our since of humour. Life can just be to serious.Taking the mick is a national sport in the in Britian.

Some ideas defy the laws of physics, others are plain stupid, this one ticks both boxes.
Even if it was possible to boil water to purify it the amount of energy needed would be massive compared to the cost of an RO or even DI only.
Collecting evaporated water is just as dumb for the sheer amount you would need or get.
Somtimes you need to tell people in the bluntest terms that what they are suggesting is not workable.
Anyone with teenage kids will understand. ;)

Thats the trouble with an internet forum, no facial expressions, body language, tone of voice etc. Point taken Sean. But no offence was intended.
If any was taken by the original poster then I apologise.
thats the problem with t'internet....you cant really tell from the typed letter the sarcasm/love behind the post.....but it is there......its up to you/me to decifer it......hey wait up......little bulb just flashed above me, no not another randon power cut, an idea of all things.......an actual idea (scrimmy comes up with an idea...circa wotever the year is, i cant believe its 2010 already)..anyway, (can you tell i have had a wee glass of bubbly) wot woz i on about?...ah yes, my idea, here it comes:
a video forum....so we can see who we are talking to and hear them, thus getting the real meaning behind the words as we can see them as they speak.......mmm just thought of the implications....like wots actually going on in the room behind tosh.......listen, just forget i said anyfink. 8)

its not such a bad idea, i once made a still in bosnia you need one steel bucket with a burner underneath and fill it with water and rotten plums, then some copper brake pipe coiled going from the lid of the bucket to another bucket. the copper has to be coiled ;) then you need to run cold water over the copper and the other bucket fills with distilled plum brandy or slivovich. if you just want pure water miss the plums out ;D but if you drink this stuff with the plums you wont care how pure your water is

i used to work with a ukranian lad and he used to make the most amazing "vodka" distilling old beer that bars were throwing like john smiths and stuff
the still was tiny in his kitchen sink

It'll cost far to much to boil the water.
I think boiling it only kills any bacteria and organisms anyway not sure if it removes any particles....
