Distilled Water on the Stovetop

Boil tap water in a covered pot and catch the steam that condenses on the cold, upturned lid. The steam leaves the dissolved salts and minerals behind, so the drops that fall into a bowl in the middle are distilled water: for steam irons, lead-acid batteries, chemistry, humidifiers and topping up anything that must not scale. It is slow and uses a lot of energy for little water. The notebook shows why, and how to measure your own stove.

Set up the pot

Stand a trivet in the stockpot and a glass bowl on it. Pour tap water around the bowl to about 5 cm below the bowl's rim, about 4 litres; none may splash into the bowl.

Turn the lid over

Put the lid on upside down, handle down, so it slopes to its centre over the bowl. Steam will condense on its underside and run to the handle and drip into the bowl.

Simmer

Heat until the water simmers, then turn down so it keeps a gentle simmer. A hard boil throws spray into the bowl. Start the stopwatch at the first drip.

Ice on the lid

Fill the upturned lid with ice. The colder lid condenses more steam. When the ice has melted, ladle the meltwater off with oven gloves on and add fresh ice.

Stop before it runs dry

Stop while at least 3 cm of water is left in the pot: what stays behind holds all the salts. Turn off the heat, let it cool 10 minutes, and lift the lid away from you; steam scalds.

Weigh and test

Weigh the distillate and note the time. Read a sample of the tap water and of the distillate with a TDS meter: the distillate should read far lower. Enter your numbers in the notebook.

What it removes, and what it does not

Distillation leaves dissolved salts, minerals and most dirt behind in the pot. Substances that boil at or below water's boiling point can travel with the steam, so it is not a guaranteed way to remove solvents or fuels from contaminated water. Laboratory stills use the same principle with a water-cooled condenser, which is faster and uses less ice.
