Introduction
Out of 108 million Filipinos, nine million rely on unimproved, unsafe and
Families without a safe water source in or near their home often spend significant
time and energy collecting water. Many house, many citizen of the Philippines are
lacking safe water and suffering the crises. We want to offer a solution the will
ensure the safeness of other people’s health. Distilled Solar Water, our product
can be use in times of emergency. This does not use a lot of work but a lot of
but worth it after it is done. The materials we use are just recycled, it is cheap and
can be made easily. This will give you a drinkable water for it is filtered and
purified. 19 million Filipino will have no problem in water ever again. The product
is simple yet so helpful on a lot of Filipinos that lack access to clean water.

account of solar distillation use for desalination was by Giovani Batista Della Porta
Father of solar distillation, Carlos Wilson, the creator of the first modern sun-
powered desalination plant, built in Las Salinas (The Salts), Chile in 1872.
Hellenistic period and Bittel (1959) gives a detail description of various distillers
(alembics) developed that time. There were developed various types of alembics.
The two pots alembic (Διβικος) was used for vapor condensation. The head of the
still in Greek was called “ambix.” This name was applied often to the still as a
whole. The Arabs named it “Al-Ambiq” from which the worldwide known “alembic”
was developed.
During the mediaeval times, solar energy was used to fire alembics in order to
concentrate dilute aquatic solutions, thus solar distillation was mainly used to
say that the most important scientist of Renaissance was undoubtedly Giovanni
Batista Della Porta (1535–1615) who mentions three desalination systems and a
solar distillation apparatus for brackish waters. From the time of Della Porta, no
special reference can be found on solar distillation, but in 1870 the first American

patent on solar distillation was granted to N.W. Wheeler and W.W. Evans (1879).
The patent, based on experimental work, describes almost all basic operations
and features of solar still including corrosion problems. Two years later, in 1872,
the first large-scale solar distillation plant was erected in Chacabuco (Las
Salinas), Chile. It was the first worldwide industrial size solar distillation plant.
Harding (1883) gives a detail description of the plant and Telkes (1955) reports
Since then and until the beginning of the decade of 1960, many references exist
about small-scale solar stills but not of large solar distillation plants. The 50’s
American Office of Saline Water (OSW) erected in Daytona Beach, FL, USA, a
Solar Station to study operation parameters of various types of solar stills such as
thin water layer still, deep basin still, glass-covered still, and plastic-covered still.
The Station was operated by Battelle Memorial Institute, Cleveland, OH. The
experience are outlined in Reports and papers by Bloemer et al. (1961, 1965a,b,
1966, 1970). A detail description of these stills, up to 1970, and many other
worldwide detailed studies can be found in the Battelle Memorial Institute report
by Talbet et al. (1970). In fact since that time few improvements have been made
in solar stills.

The product can distill anything and can make any liquid safe to drink. This
product can be use anytime anywhere. The product also works during
night time because of the sunlight of the moon. This product is more easier
to use and easier to make than a purification. Distilled water in any store

This study aimed to test the effectiveness of producing distilled water using
the heat energy from the sun by the use of recyclable materials like plastic bottles
and a pipe.
This study focuses on the comparison and testing its effectiveness in terms
of quality. The time range of the experiment is about a day to the final outcome. In

the gap that may left unresolved. This study may have certain deficiency, at least.
This may give some insights and encouragement to take a validation and follow
up study.
