The downside, like all the other methods, is that it takes several hours so be patient. The positives of this Aquamate blowup water purification kit are that it comes in a small, easy to carry, inflatable kit and the what I like most about it is that it does not require any power or electricity. The sun is what powers the desaliniation process. We found that this product makes it easy and works great, however, it is very slow! I find this product to be very easy EZ to use and extremely useful to have on hand if you are ever in need of converting saltwater or other contaminated water into fresh drinkable water.
This Megahome converts 1-gallon water into steam and then condensed into distilled water in about 5 hours. The interior boil chamber, including upper cover and the condensing coils are Stainless Steel. It comes with a 1-gallon glass collection bottle with a removable lid. It does provide an easy and automatic way to distill your own water, simply fill the boiling chamber with water and press the button.
At the end of the cycle, the distiller will turn off automatically. The outside body of this distiller is metal with a white baked finish. I have found this unit to be very useful in distilling and purifying contaminated or salt water into clean water. Using a Total Dissolved Solids TDS tester to test tap water and the meter read ppm even after being pre-filtered by a Whirlpool Chemical reduction filter. After distilling the water with the Megahome distiller, the meter read 0 ppm.
It works like a charm. As of now, I have found very few problems with the device except it requires a power to operate whereas the Aquamate Solar is powered by the sun. Sea or saltwater can be converted into fresh drinking water by using one of the 5 ways suggested above. This process can be slow and painful to watch but I suggest you try one or all of them if you are interested. We love using the easy EZ ways to prepare for emergencies so naturally we really enjoy the Aquamate Solar Inflatable Kit and the Megahome Water Distiller so give them a shot!
It is empowering to know how to convert saltwater into fresh drinking water and convenient to have the two above mentioned items to make it happen. Good Luck! I value the safety, protection, and well-being of my family above all else. Finding easy and practical ways of prepping for emergencies or unexpected disaster has become very important to me.
I have tried a large variety of freeze dried foods from several different companies and have compiled a list of the best freeze dried food for camping, backpacking, food storage, or any emergency I have spent hours preserving foods through various methods such as dehydrating, canning, freezing, and fermenting but have found that using a freeze dryer to freeze dry foods is my favorite It turns out that we can and the process is called desalination.
Desalination is a process that removes dissolved minerals including but not limited to salt from seawater, brackish water, or treated wastewater. A number of technologies have been developed for desalination, including reverse osmosis RO , distillation, electrodialysis, and vacuum freezing.
So why is seawater such an attractive water resource that we go through all those costly process to make it safe to drink? Here are a few reasons Seawater provides an unlimited, reliable water supply for coastal populations worldwide; brackish water is a plentiful, relatively drought-proof water resource for inland populations and reduces dependency on imported water.
And, of all the Earth's water, 97 percent is salt water, only 1 percent is fresh water available for humans to drink, and 2 percent is frozen. To date, only a limited number of desalination plants have been built along the California coast, primarily because the cost of desalination is generally higher than the costs of other water supply alternatives available in California e.
However, as drought conditions occur and concern over water availability increases, desalination projects are being proposed at numerous locations in the state.
Desalination costs are decreasing as technology improves and more plants are built. Today there are more than 15, desalination plants in countries.
Do you wear contact lenses? If so, you most likely use a saline water solution to clean them. But what else do we use saline water for and do we really use that much? Read on to learn all about the use of saline water. In your everyday life you are not involved much with saline water. You are concerned with freshwater to serve your life's every need.
But, most of Earth's water, and almost all of the water that people can access, is saline, or salty water. This paper uses chemical and physical data from a large U. Geological Surveygroundwater dataset with wells in the U. The leading process for desalination in terms of installed capacity and yearly growth is reverse osmosis RO Fritzmann and others, The RO membrane processes use semipermeable membranes and applied pressure on the membrane feed side to preferentially induce water permeation through the membrane while rejecting salts.
Reverse osmosis plant membrane systems. People all over the world use low-tech techniques to obtain the valuable resource salt. Really, take some ocean water, put in it a pan, hopefully in the sun, and wait for the water to evaporate.

How 'bout a cool, refreshing cup of seawater? A view across a reverse osmosis desalination plant in Barcelona, Spain. Credit: James Grellier. You can try this at home! Dig a pit in the ground Place a bowl at the bottom of the pit that will be used to catch the condensed water Cover the pit loosley with a plastic sheet you can use stones or other heavy objects to hold it in place over the pit Be sure that the lowest part of the plastic sheet hovers directly over the bowl Leave your water "trap" overnight and water can be collected from the bowl in the morning Credit: Daniele Pugliesi.
