All day (10 hours) in full sun it made 2 pints of distilled water. How cool is that? Review: Waste of money - is this a joke? - The item does not separate the good water from the bad. If you tilt it the bad water mixes with the good. The small bag that is supposed to collect the good water has no outlet so how are you supposed to get it out of its little tiny bag? It took 2 days of hot desert California sun to generate 1 tablespoon of water. But don’t move it! Or the bad water will mix with it. There is no way of cleaning the unit. It is all completely enclosed except for a tube where you add the bad water. It is draining now with fungus and algae growing inside its little dome. Getting it ready for the garbage collectors. I can’t get a refund because it does not qualify for one. Beware! ## Features - Water Purification from solar energy -- no power required! - Tear open pack for emergencies. - Dimensions: 13 in.

I tried salt water and it worked. Was V_E_R_Y slow but it worked. HOWEVER.... I used it three times and on the 4th time, the black base / filter came apart. I was not impressed and would NOT recommend this device **Q: How is the distilled water extracted without getting contaminated by the sea/dirty water?** A: It comes out of a plastic tube from the main compartment. Caveat - the darned thing DISINTEGRATED on me within about 5 hours (yup, that's all) use. It has a black, porus base and this came apart from the translucent plastic surround. I would not recommend this item. It worked and worked extremely effectively (albeit slowly) but 5 hrs was ridiculous. **Q: The package says that you need to replace it every 5 years. Does this include if you store it in a dark, climate controlled, place?** A: I have only just bought the item, but logically stands to reason that ideal conditions for the material and an airing out every so often that the plastic materials would last a lifetime. Neglected in a no shield from environment elements and I could see it not holding up. But you might still get at least 5 out of it in the poorest conditions. But I live in Washington state. So our humidity isn’t even comparable to basically any direction of here. **Q: Can it make sea water potable?** A: Yes it can sea water potable ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How cool is that *by J***N on August 8, 2015* This thing actually works. All day (10 hours) in full sun it made 2 pints of distilled water. How cool is that? ### ⭐ Waste of money - is this a joke? *by B***Z on October 26, 2022* The item does not separate the good water from the bad. If you tilt it the bad water mixes with the good. The small bag that is supposed to collect the good water has no outlet so how are you supposed to get it out of its little tiny bag? It took 2 days of hot desert California sun to generate 1 tablespoon of water. But don’t move it! Or the bad water will mix with it. There is no way of cleaning the unit. It is all completely enclosed except for a tube where you add the bad water. It is draining now with fungus and algae growing inside its little dome. Getting it ready for the garbage collectors. I can’t get a refund because it does not qualify for one. Beware! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great design, they thought of everything. *by T***. on August 3, 2014* I'm not going to review the rate of water output as it varies greatly for different situations. Everything else about this device exceeded my expectations. Every little part of the design has been well thought out, down to the straps, strings, and plugs which prevent loss of any separable parts. There are instructions and a quick survival guide printed on it, ENGLISH ONLY, telling you important information like how to conserve energy, how much to drink, and not to inflate the device fully or else it may burst when the sun's heat expands the air inside. You can't really see from the picture, but spread above the 'dirty water' reservoir is a black heat-absorbing fabric layer which has some of its parts dangling down and dipping into the dirty water, so that it sucks the dirty water upwards through capillary action, and then spreads the water over its large solar-heated surface area to accelerate the evaporation of the water. Since the dirty water in the lower reservoir easily loses its heat to the rest of the ocean or ground just below it, this black fabric system is essential for thermally isolating the "currently evaporating hot water" from the rest of the "dirty cold water reserve". This solar still has its practical advantages and disadvantages to a pump-type desalinator, and since these should be apparent to anyone doing moderate research, I won't touch on them. However, when it comes to sustained use beyond the one-off life raft situation which these products seem to be designed for, I can't say if this indefinitely-reusable solar still triumphs over the high-maintenance-limited-capacity (few thousand gallons) filters and RO membranes, because I'm not sure how resistant this solar still is to UV degradation, it being a solar device and all.
