Eliodomestico
A low cost, open source, solar water distiller
How does it work?
It works like an upside down coffee maker: during the day, the heat of the sun creates steam pressure in the black watertight boiler. The steam is forced down through the expansion nozzle, thus condensing against the lid.
At the end of the day, the Eliodomestico delivers 5 liters of fresh drinking water. The lower basin is specifically designed for transport on the head.
Benefits include:
No electricity required
No filters needed
Easy maintenance
Good impact on the local economy
No impact on the environment
Why is it needed?
To increase acces to clean water.
How does it improve life?
Eliodomestico is made from inexpensive, widely available materials. The technologies involved in the production are simple and popular, making maintenance easy.
