Most people are not aware that there are 2 types of minerals, organic (positive charge) and inorganic (negatively or neutral charged). The minerals that are left behind in the distillation process are inorganic minerals, aka...dirt, rock sediment. The human body can not use these minerals anyway. The organic minerals that the body can use are found in the food we eat and only from the food we eat. Before the Rockefeller age of ''medicine'', distilled water was the go to for health and well being. It removes anything in the body that would be considered inorganic. Inorganic minerals (boasted and believed to be ''healthy'') are one of the main causes of dis-ease in the body. Most inorganic minerals we ingest are expelled by urination and defecation for a reason. What the body can't expel gets tucked away in all nooks and crannies of the body leading to things like joint and muscle pain. Inorganic minerals, in extreme cases, are also responsible for things like kidney and gall stones and far worse over time and accumulation. The benefit of distilled water is that it will break down anything inorganic (sediment) and help flush it out. To this day it is still recommended for heart attack victims to drink up to 4 liters/day to help break down and flush the body of unwanted impurities in dire situations. Don't let ANYONE try to convince you that pure (empty) water can hurt you in any way. That is simply idiotic. You are water! My point...Rockefeller ''medicine'' is dependent on repeat customers. It's called an industry for a reason. There are many things this industry doesn't want you to know. This is one of them. Do the research or be a victim of the system. Google is NOT your friend in this regard.
Another great video, excellent info with some humor. Wondering what that song you like to use in the videos called? Sounds familiar but can't place it...
I live 60 miles from East Palestine near lake erie, it won't be long before it contaminates the water shed, then millions will be affected. Of course they wanted to keep it quiet.
I'm in Ontario in Essex County and Lake Erie is mere blocks from my house. "They" say we will never be affected, but that certainty is a red flag to me.
Might want to look up DuPont and the I believe the central channel Wells are dangerous check and recheck honestly at least once a quarter if you can afford it. Cause yeah stuff happens We live in the mountains and have artisan spring water and we test once a year.
I live 76.9 miles away. I called Cleveland water company. The person had an attitude and she began rattling off her credentials tills as if I cared. I home schooled my son and our science project was the "water cycle!" That was 18 years ago and once I put him in private school he used the same project and won a ribbon. So lady at the water company "kick rocks!"
Thanks for pointing out the lack of minerals in distilled water. Some folks complain of a “flat” taste in such water, which can be resolved by repeatedly pouring the water from one clean container to another from a distance of a foot or more to reintroduce air into the water.
The way you make videos is brilliant!! Always making me laugh while being extremely helpful and speaking truth oh so gently! 😂 Looks like I need to get our water tested!
Thanks for bringing up the train derailment. I'm 45 miles west of it and I'm not sure what or if my land/water has been effected but independent researchers are looking into it (Perdue out of IN) and they are finding some shit. There are people in my town that don't know about the derailment, this should have been a national headline and it was swept under the rug.
@@burtmacklin6443 They were the experts, a third party not under the influence of the DS. They were "removed". The new "investigation team" are DS operatives. Useless
TIP: it is NOT recommended to "boil" the dirty water to the point the steam bubbles are explosively leaving the water (aka Rolling boils) as contaminants from the dirty water can be ejected up onto the collection lid and recontaminate the distilled "clean" water. It doesn't take much longer to keep the water at a gentle simmer where few, if any steam bubbles are breaking the surface of the "dirty water". With your lid setup, this would require very little heat as a pseudo-pressure cooker is created allowing the dirty water to release the H20 Vapor at a lower temp than 212F (usually around 210-205F is sufficient). This splash up concern varies with the a) contents of the dirty water, b) geometry of the pots, lids, etc. and c) the temperature of the boil (aka what volume of un-vaporized dirty water droplets are flying up and hitting the lid to slime their way into and thus contaminate the "clean water." Slow and steady, yet again, wins the race.
Plus, he's losing half his ocean water. It's blasting out from under the cover. Water will vaporize at a much lower temperature. All you need to do is warm it up. You can see the vapors on hot coffee and you can still drink it. It's nowhere near boiling.
This happened to my family farm. The Inlaws drank the well water for decades. The barn had a deep well & tested for the cows. When my husband & I purchased the farm, I had the well tested & it was terrible! My husband had thyroid cancer while my daughter & I had our thyroids die. Please--Test your wells.
I have a 1 gallon water distiller. It works real good! Interesting story...I bought it at GoodWill for $7. It needed a computer board is all. It was $67. So we got a $500 distillery for pocket change.
@@HAXMAN We have a WHPS cuz the former owner had to buy one in order to close on the house. Our well is 450 ft. down but we are in farm country. A year ago, the system apparently cost $1000.
That shirt is awesome!! Definitely getting one. Thank you for the content! Very timely for us who live in Ohio. You have now spent more time talking about the safety of our water than all our politicians, and the major news outlets.
My grandfather was a professional distiller when he was young. He was so good at it that he was able to purchase a farm. I think his pots were a lot bigger, though. 😆
I was living in Florida when it was found wells in the central part of the state were contaminated. Tracing the aquifer's flow, it was found the contaminate source was in Tennessee. We really cannot get away from contaminates, but we can reduce or eliminate what gets into all water sources.
I live in TN. In Sparta the landfill pumps liquid runoff straight into the city sewer system. Look up white county landfill. You can see the camouflage tanker truck, lol.. I bet you can also see it somewhere on gps pumping it into a manhole.
I'm dad lives in Steubenville which is like 32 miles from E. Palestine and I'm checking on him constantly. He has a big property with a lot of animals.
"You wanna taste it?" Oh that looks she gave you... beyond priceless!!! She's gonna be a STAR one day soon!!!!! But great information on a subject most never think about. Thanks, as always, for putting out such great content Haxman!! Greatly appreciated! And as always, take care, be safe and God bless! (Now on to your next incredible video!!!! We're waiting Haxman...chop chop!)
Great video and I hope everyone who watches takes action. In every house I lived in (except 1 of the 5) I have installed whole house water filtration - applied to city and well water locales. My current house I added an ultraviolt C light canister to the water line. No viruses or bacteria can survive a blast of UVC. Pelican systems sells them. Others might also. And nothing like showering (or bathing -whatever) in water without chlorine or flouride or anything the filter removes. (I have found reverse osmosis to be too expensive, too bulky, and too slow.)
You are such fun! Great video! I paid 5k for a manual well and within 6 months the water turned orange, and had some globs of something like how gasoline drops look in a puddle of water! So, You’ve inspired me to get on it! Most helpful!
Very informative! I live about 80 miles north east of east Palestine and I’ve had my chicken coop rain water feeding system disconnected since then just to be safe. Great video as always.
Good news on your water...Up here in Maine radon in the water is a big problem. Lots of ledge in Maine which our wells get drilled into and hold high levels of radon. Found it in our water when we first moved in and had to get a radon mitigation system put in which was lots of $$$ but well worth piece of mind for the Fam. Leading cause of lung Cancer up here if undetected. Anyhow......thanks for sharing and great stuff!
Ill never be able to prove it, but both my parents got Parkinsons in the later years, and they had a dugout, While they never drank it, they still bathed in, washed dishes, etc. Lots of run off every spring from all over. But both of them getting it is to much of a coincidence. When we lived on our acreage, I hauled water from the city into a cistern. Even then, I still tested it every 3 months for free at the local hospital. I learned a lot in 11 years about chlorine levels, biofilm and the cleaning of my water tank and cistern.
I am impressed by the simple idea of turning up the lid on the pot. If it is untenable to use electric or gas to boil your water it can be distilled by using the sun. Just put a wide but shallow pot or bowl in the sun and let the sun evaporate the water. I have done this when I dug a hole at the beach, put a black rubbish bin back over the hole and a stone in the middle above a canteen. It was just an exercise to test the process but it worked. I also put a black rubbish bin bag over a large leaf tree and at the end of the day there was enough water for a drink in the bag. Try it for fun!
I mean, the army chicken ungovernable shirt deserves its own thumbs up, but this was legit my favorite video you've done so far. I don't think RU-vid can be a spiritual gift, but honestly - it's yours. I laughed so hard, too often. 👏
Brilliant video. My brother in England spent thousands installing a professional pump and filtration system for his 60mt (180ft) borehole. He is now off grid for his water usage.
After years of wondering about our 350 ft deep well water, as we had only the most basic test done on it when we moved in, your video has finally given me the nudge i needed to get a better test done. So far the radiation test came back at zero, which is good but somewhat surprising considering we have a radon mitigation system in the house and i was expecting the alpha particle test to pick up on traces of radon. Im Waiting on the other test results today. I can relate to the constant nervous checking in your video…lol….we have been drinking the water for years and now suddenly I’m a nervous wreck and have been checking the simplelab site daily…lol. (And i didn’t realize you had a coupon code and affiliate link for that until after i ordered…bummer….and sorry about that!)
@@HAXMAN Thanks! Me too! If it’s not at least now I will know I need to install filters. I’m running IQ air filters from Germany to filter our house air and yet nothing besides a fridge filter for the water. As someone with a chemistry degree I’m a bit embarrassed I’ve neglected that part for so long. But I guess living in the country one tends to probably erroneously assume everything is fine. I only found out about our radon issues because I collect minerals and bought a Geiger counter and radon meter to make sure I wasn’t irradiating my family with my rock collection and discovered the house was doing it to us all on its own! Scary stuff. Appreciate your excellent videos and humor. As a woodworker and someone into being self Sufficient they are right up my alley! God Bless!
Testing is very important. There was a case of water having high levels of formaldehyde in it and that was because water was flowing from a cemetery thru the bodies and into wells. Formaldehyde is a chemical used in embalming.
I feel ya man. Same thing happened here at my castle. Well water was really good. Had it tested after 2 years. And immediately bought an Alexa Pure. All betta!
Any possibility of building some sort of outdoor cooking apparatus? I am trying to think about how I would cook food, boil water, etc. if the grid goes down and I can’t settle on a design. Interested to see how the Haxman would approach outdoor cooking
We got a homestead in the country, 40 minutes from town. STILL our well is poisoned due to a chemical spill - that is legally still pouring toxins into local ground water. We got reverse osmosis units on each sink, but bathing water is still contaminated. Considering suing the company to put up better system on our well. The toxins did not come up on any standard water test, but they ruined our crops and made us sick.
My family owns a bottle water business, so I feel ya on the testing, we test every hour!! Thank you for informative videos, and they are HILARIOUS!! I appreciate the humor, and especially how you are with your girls. They are beautiful! Way to go dad
I don't have well water, but I still watched the whole video just for entertainment, then I learned some more about water and Jerry/ Aldof. Thanks for the info and smiles.
Everytime I watch one of your videos, I'm like how come I don't watch more of your videos cuz they are pretty good! The answer is...I best get to working on that.
We distil all our drinking and cooking water already (we don't want to be drinking flouride). We use an Ocean grade distiller from company Megahome. Makes roughly 4 litres of water in about 5 hours. We sprinkle a pinch of sea salt back into the water to replace the minerals once the distil is finished.
Love your work and a laugh here and there is well needed in today's world. Please keep them coming, I have even added your site to my preppers flyer I share in my group. Chuck in New England
Awesomesauce video Adam! I had just checked your channel 12 minutes before you posted this! Lol I used to run Distillate units when I was in the Navy. 100K gallons per day. Water wasn't bad, just tasted better cold!
@HAXMAN yeah. You made distilled water! Not the greatest taste, but you could stay hydrated. Now treat that with some chlorine & minerals, and it would taste normal. The only part I don't like is to look at how much energy it took to make that tiny amount!!!
I thought you were going to saying at the end, “The only thing you don’t want to be doing, is poopooing.” You know from the coliform bacteria. Love the humor!
I would not be surprised if Florida did not require the company that dug your well to test the water. They might not even be required to share the results with you unless they were bad. But id be very surprised if thousands of dollars could be spent digging a well without testing the water.
Been watching you for the last several years. It was cool to realize that I live near you. Keep up the good work! Yeah, the water here is terrible. I'm not on the island but our water has a lot of sulfur in it. I have a Culligan water softener and sulfur filter that helps but it's still pretty rough.
I have the same issue with my well water. Look into a sterling brand iron out filter and water softener. They're about 1400 for the pair, but they're worth every penny. They take out 99% of the sulfur taste and smell from my water.
It's important to note that distillation can work for some contamination but not all. Some chemicals boil a lower temperature then water or even the same temperature.
Also Mr. Haxman, boiling water just condenses contaminants like fluoride so you get more chemicals in less water! Distilled water removes minerals (that's why you can use it in car batteries), so you need to replace your minerals if you want to be healthy! Ahhh, further in the video you do mention the lack of minerals. Good job, buddy!
We live at 3980 feet in the Western Smokey Mountains. Our water from a well, tests every year. It's actually better than the average municipality water bottled and sold. Our total parts per million turbidity is 15ppm. In our former house in Southwest Florida it was 680ppm and wasn't fit for consumption. Don't forget to shock your well in the event your test comes back ugly.
I just now found your channel through this video, and I had to immediately share it with a couple people! You’re hilarious and remind me of some of my own family. Also, from one redhead to another, your daughter (I’m assuming) has amazing style!!
Our last well water test came back AWESOME in fact my city water test came back worse than our well water test... But we still filter all the water we drink or cook with. And I spent big money on the filter system. I love drinking water but it's got to be GOOD WATER!!!! I heard that someone had bottle waters tested and found out that most of them were not so good for long term drinking.. I wash I could find that report again... I say everyone be safe and buy a GOOD water filter system!!!!!
I'm a neighbor... Coastal Georgia here as well, but I'm a little further inland. Love your content and it's nice to have information from someone in a similar location.
Mr Haxman, I want to touch on the distilling section of your video. I'm from Louisiana, When the train wreck happened in Ohio I was concerned due to chemicals leaching into the rivers that feed into the Mississippi River which would then be an issue for us down here. I had the same thought process which was to distill water. Upon further research, I found distilling wouldn't help for the chemical Vinyl Chloride which is what spilled. This is because Vinyl Chloride boils at only 7.88F (_13.4C). Now I'm no water chemist or scientist but I would think it would still travel into the distilled water chamber because it has a lower boiling point than water. Some sites say it's okay but on a website that's for distilling, they state chemicals still travel through with the water. take it for what this is worth, happy youtubing.
Thought I had a Land Contract, folks stated they had the water tested. After a year of girgling stomach and making toilet soup I had the water tested... apparently they did not or lied about the results. It was so bad, the fella at the waste treatment plat took me into the facility to show me around so I completly understood the process. He also showed me samples of the town water pre treatment and post treatment... then he showed me my water and said, if this were not private property and or you were a company I would be required to call the EPA and they would cap the well... and you've been drinking this for how long? That natrual spring was subject to run-off from the animals, the road, and the fields... good stuff!
Top video mate great laughs and good advice with getting your well tested. With the seawater if you remove that little pot and leave the lid off and let it boil dry you should produce " Salt " at the bottom of the pot. Some friends of mine I once tried his at the beach we needed salt to have on our potato chips and no shops were open so we had a large pot filled it up and went for it. We did finally get enough salt after hours of boiling heaps of seawater lol.
The Mythbusters episode showed that coliform is all over most, if not , all houses. The coliform contamination may have come from the faucet surfaces and or the air while you were filling the sample jars.
@@HAXMAN I take bacteriological samples for a public water supply and here in Texas they test for total coliform as it is easy to do and is an indicator organism. The presence of it indicates the water could be contaminated.. The absence of it indicates the water is likely not contaminated. The trouble would be if fecal coliform were present. Coliform are all over you now and not a threat. You have to be very careful taking a sample. It's likely that you contaminated it yourself especially if touched the inside of the lid or mouth of the bottle.
We used to drink well water, but when my spouse had to get chemo, his doc told him to stop drinking his well water. The owners of the well had never had it check so they did, and it was full of bacteria. They had a huge cattle farm nearby and the waste was in all the groundwater in that area.
Your channel inspired us to get chickens! Our only complaint is your videos are too short 😂 We prefer you to movies or TV (which is good, since we don't own a TV lol)
That pot tricks was pretty cool. You could probably put another smaller lid on top of your big inverted lid to further capture some of the steam that's escaping.
I work for a municipal water treatment plant (Class 1 Operator). Our lab guy has tested exactly two wells in his 24 years on the job that did not test positive for total coli-forms. Since you tested negative for e coli you're good to go. This could change without you knowing though. If you want to do a total disinfection a little Cl2 would do the trick. Get with someone in water treatment to work out the math of you want to go that route.
Dude you seriously have a Malinois, I just lost mine to old age! Loved that boy…greatest dog I have EVER had the pleasure of caring for. Enjoy yours! This video was Awesome BTW! You rock
i bought a 4 stage reverse osmosis water filtration system and love it! it was 80$ on amazon and makes the water like bottled water and has zero TDS and zero chlorine and all that other harmful stuff.
Your videos are awesome! Thank you so much! God bless you! 🙏❤️💯. God bless everyone who reads this and love you all; make sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour everyone! He is coming soon! Accept and believe in Jesus Christ! John 3:16, Revelation 20:15, 1 Corrinthians 15 1-4, Romans 10 9 and 10, Ephesians 2 8 and 9
My parents have lived on the same farm 40 years and my dad had it tested at 33 years; he has bladder cancer, 5 years before that he was also diagnosed with lukeamia, prior to that had a heart attack and doctors said he had diabetes that he didn’t know had which caused the heart attack. Then my stepmom noticed the same symptoms of the bladder cancer and got tested…she tested positive. They then thought to have the well tested. They found very high levels of arsenic among other stuff. My stepmom went in for surgery and when they opened her up they found her organs sticking together like glue…the surgeon said he never seen something that bad. It was a long painful surgery; they had to put mesh between the organs. They are both constantly in and out of the hospital because their immune systems are so weak. My dad feels so guilt ridden that my mom got sick for him not checking the water years ago. He never thought of it because the water tasted fine. Please do regular water testing. This has caused a lot of grief and sadness to see my parents suffering.
Great video. Amazing edits and you are a hoot! Glad you didn’t poison your family and if people get their water tested, you might be saving peoples lives too. Good job. Informative and funny.
I had coliform too. We just didn't drink it straight out of the tap. Then I bought a whole house filter, a carbon filter, and a UV light. Amazing setup for a dug well! Also, dude... your humor and editing skills are on point!! ❤
Lol, great video, love your humor. As a German I can confirm I am not offended by the term Jerry can, I am however offended by the poor quality knock-off they sell in North America. Those things are wretchet. Germans make the best liquid containers! Also, I would ALWAYS recommend a small R/O system for drinking water in a household with a water well. Except you live in the mountains and you literally get glacier water from 20000 years ago to run through your pipes.
You should also have your well tested for chemicals, known as PFOS and PFOA. These are serious cancer causing chemicals that are found in all water nowadays (well & municipal). The EPA has classified these chemicals as an “emerging contaminant” that you should be using charcoal filters to protect your family.
Tip for anyone testing for PFAS in water: Be really, really careful and follow the instructions provided. You want to wash your hands thoroughly and avoid any type of object or surface that might contain PFAS (raincoats, non-stick pans, markers, etc) since this can lead to a false positive when testing. (We also hope HAXMAN will test for PFAS btw!)
Add a pinch of sea salt or just eat a pinch of salt salt for added minerals. Also, dry the outside of the small pot before you tip it over the glass. You don't want to contaminate the clean water with ocean drippings from the outside of the little pot.
There's a company in Utah, called Redmond. They sell pink ancient sea salt that is loaded with trace minerals. Some days when we are working outside, and are thirsty and drinking lots of water, my doctor recommended that we add just a dash to each bottle. I do that also when sweating a lot. It makes our water taste better as well! If someone is experiencing diarrhea it is a good idea. Replacing electro lites is really important. Have also heard that a good quality coconut water is also good for that.
Oh, as a chemist, I just want to make sure when you distill your water, you discard the first fraction and the last fraction of the water. So if you are distilling a gallon, discard the first pint of liquid and stop distilling when you are down to the last pint in the distillation pot. That way any liquid contaminants with a lower boiling point (or that forms a lower boiling point eutectic solution) gets discarded in the first pint, and any liquid contaminants with a higher boiling point than water is left in the undistilled final pint. That will eliminate little nasty chemicals like methanol, fusel oils and similar chemicals. The same technique is used in distilling drinking alcohol. And setting up a simple still with some copper tubing to cool the distillate would be much faster and efficient. Me I tend to get the glass versions for my distillations.
I'm not going to look and see, but probably more than a dozen people have informed you that YES Distilled water has no 'minerals', but that's what FOOD supplies... I don't want ANYTHING in my water except H2O. BTW, very good video.
