a short video showing the small solar water heater i designed a couple of days ago. it consists of 125 feet of 1/2 inch diameter black tubing (cost approx $10.00), 4 connector pieces (to connect the various pieces together and to connect it to the house (cost approx. $5.00)), and finally the ‘y connector’ so i could have the garden hose hooked up at the same time (cost approx $5.00). all purchased from home depot. total cost was approx. $20.00. all i did was coil 100 feet of the hose and attach it to a piece of plywood. after 30 minutes of sun the water temperature is about 130-133 degrees and after 60 to 90 minutes it can reach 150 degrees. the coil can hold 2+gallons of water at a time. if you drain and refill several times throughout the day you could easity get 10-15 gallons of hot water a day. i may expand the size of the system. (they sell a 500 foot roll of hose for $35.00. that would be about 10 gallons of water at a time)

This distiller was made from materials that I had handy. The sheetmetal was folded to make a drain tray and also the main body. Marine or exterior plywood could have been used instead.
The glass panel was from an old window (measures 870 x 810mm, but other sizes can be used)
After folding the sheetmetal and making the two side panels, all were riveted together with pop rivets and then painted black inside and out to help absorb more heat. The joints were then sealed with silicone sealant, tested for leaks and a drain hose fitted as close to the bottom of the drain tray as possible. A 25mm hole was made in the back panel about halfway up to add tap water (could be saltwater too). The glass panel is added last and sealed with silicone sealant to prevent any water vapour escaping.
For South Australian conditions, place the distiller with the glass panel facing North-West.
On a warm spring day you can expect between 1 and 5 litres of production, on a summers day more.
