Did you know you can solar distill water? Put dirty water in a glass bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and leave it in the sun. The evaporation leaves all the gross stuff behind. You get rainwater. It’s like a DIY water cycle in your backyard.
Another ancient trick: copper vessels. Storing water in a copper pot kills bacteria. The ions act like a natural disinfectant. It’s been used in India for centuries. Plus, your water gets a metallic sheen that says, “I’m very old school.”
But don’t overdo copper. Toxic in large amounts. A few hours is enough. You’re not trying to turn your water into a penny. Balance is key, you wild thing.
