- voltagex_ 13y agoI suspect you got downvoted because English isn't your first language. Something like: "Is the water from the ocean clean enough to drink? Hope to see this product available to buy soon" might be better
- cmsmith 13y agoThis is a great question. Distillation has the side effect of removing all of the microbes from water and sanitizing the output, but if this method only removes the salt will the output water be clean enough to drink?
- ars 13y agoDo you think they clean your local city water? They don't. They filter it a bit, then add chlorine to deal with biologicals, and that's it.
- tsotha 13y agoBut municipal water typically comes from rain or snowfall. The distillation has already been done.
- ars 13y agoYou wish. No, it usually comes from a river. And guess where the waste water from a sewage treatment plant goes? Right back into the same river, only downstream. And that's where the next city down the line picks it up. That water gets recycled multiple times on the way to the ocean, by each city on the river. That's not a bad thing! But the water can hardly be called distilled.
- tsotha 13y agoWhere I live the river water comes from snow packs. And nobody's allowed to discharge treated sewage into rivers. Gross.
