    Most of the shit will remain down with the salt, as they’re too dense to flow upwards with the water vapor.

    Btw, that’s pretty much distilled water, right? While drinkable, it’ll be lacking some needed minerals, no?

      No. You can get those minerals from your food. It is safe to drink distilled water. But there is a lot of misinformation about distilled water, I have even had people tell me it can kill them! Water is water. Get your minerals from food.

          Better than chugging a gallon of artificial sweetener, caffiene and flavours.

          Isn’t a gallon almost four litres? A gallon of anything is going to be dangerous to drink all at once.

        Good to know, I had the misconception that you could only get some never specified minerals from freshwater and that distilled water would leave you mostly thirsty.

          Likely from some company trying to sell expensive foul tasting “sports water”. Eat a bag of crisps with your water if you are really concerned about your salt intake.

          Drinking distilled water will not leave you thirsty. And on a study here in Australia on teenagers drinking electrolyte sport drink vs water while doing athletics, it was proven there was better athletic performance from the water drinkers… Which brings a lot of the advertising into question.

      It’s literally distilled water. I don’t know what this technology does that other evaporative distillation systems don’t already do, besides being solar powered.
