How to Make a Survival Water Still Using Condensation
In a survival situation, a survival water still is an effective way to turn contaminated, or saltwater into clean, drinkable water. Here's how to distill water using boiling, condensation, and a simple tube system.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
- Heatproof container: A metal or fireproof pot for holding the dirty or saltwater.
- Tube or hose: A flexible tube to direct steam (metal, rubber, or heat-resistant plastic).
- Collection container: A second clean container to catch the distilled water.
- Fire source: A campfire or stove to boil the water.
Set Up the System
- Prepare your fire: Build a fire or use another heat source to boil the water.
- Fill the container: Place the contaminated water into your heatproof container and set it over the fire.
- Connect the tube: Attach one end of the tube to the container, allowing the steam from the boiling water to pass through it. Make sure the tube extends away from the heat, the idea is for the tube to stay as cool as possible to turn the steam, into water droplets.
- Position the collection container: Place the other end of the tube inside the clean container, where the vapor will condense back into liquid.
Start Boiling the Water
As the water in the first container boils, steam will rise and move through the tube. The steam cools and condenses as it travels, turning back into purified water, which collects in the second container.
Collect the Clean Water
Once enough steam has condensed into liquid in the collection container, the water is ready for drinking. Continue the process until you have sufficient water.
Note: It's crucial to identify and consider potential contaminants in water sources when purifying water. Proper understanding of water safety, local regulations, and personal hygiene is essential for maintaining good health in survival situations.
FAQ
Q: What can I use the survival water still for?
A: The survival water still can purify contaminated, salt, or dirty water, turning it into drinkable water by removing impurities through the condensation process.
Q: How much water can I collect?
A: The amount of distilled water you collect depends on the size of your setup and how long you boil the water. Larger setups will collect more water over time.
Q: What kind of tube should I use?
A: Use heat-resistant materials like metal or rubber. Avoid low-quality plastic tubes that could melt from the heat.
Q: Does the distilled water need further treatment?
A: No, the water distilled using this method is purified and safe to drink once it condenses, but if you think it could have come in contact with contaminated or dirty water, when in doubt, give it a 5 minute boil.
