Re: Practical boiling



 Tom and others, 
       Studying hydroponics, I have had the pleasure of working with some of 
the worlds great water quality experts.  I belive that simple solar heated 
sterilizers using both the uv light and the low level heat from sunlight can 
do an excellent job.  The pump comes on when the sun is out and the clean 
water is stored when it is not. 
        My combined water/heat storage system uses the fluxuation of the day 
night temperature cycle on clean rainwater to discourage bacteria and algie 
growth.    Activated charcoal lasts a long time when combined with such 
systems only for final backup.  I guess I never realized that clean water was 
so hard to find some places in the world.  We get 40 inches a year of rain 
and it doesn't take a big roof to collect a lot. 
       I like rain water because of the low salt level.  If you have water at 
<10ppm dissolved solids, not much will grow in it to begin with as it is too 
sterile.  I think people live longer drinking it too.  Water is a universal 
solvent but only works good when it is not already saturated with salts.  
Clean water flushes out the body better.  I recomended it(distilled in this 
case) for Mom when she was doing chemotharapy and the doctor said it seemed 
to help her toxin levels.  
       What do I know? I don't have a degree.  
                                            Dan Dimiduk
