California Farm Distilled Water

Boiling water kills bacteria, but the water still contains all the impurities and farm chemicals from ground water and acid rain water, and wild fire retardant chemicals, a big concern of ours.
This lil pure copper stovetop distiller, called an alembic, a medieval scientific instrument, makes one quart of distilled pure water per hour, it only evaporates the pure water parts to steam, cools and catches it. Pure H2O water. Never any rust, it is all copper.

The distillation pan holds 4 quarts, 4 liters. It produces 1 quart, 1 liter per hour of luke warm distilled water, 3.8 liters total. Every eight minutes, the steam coil that turns steam into distilled water heats up and needs to be cooled with 2 liters of cold tapwater. By draining the heated coolwater in a bucket, we reuse, only takes one bucket, 5 gallons, 40 liters of cooling water.

  4. 4

    Suggestion: instead of manually refilling the cooling pot every eight minutes, you can hook up a mini aquarium pump (amazon, $9) to the cooling pot inlet and outlet hoses. Set your timer for 3 1/2 hours, watch the thermometer rise when the distiller pot gets empty and the gallon distilled water carafe is full. Turn off gas before distillation pot overheats, and cool.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
