remineralize your distilled water, then add some mineral powder to the carboy

and shake it until the minerals dissolve (it's easiest to shake the carboy by

having it rest on a soft surface and rocking it back and forth). Do-Right Solar

offers an inexpensive house-blend of minerals for sale. Before placing the

carboy in your water crock dispenser, clean off the outside surface well with

alcohol, especially near the opening. You may also choose to pour water from

the carboy into a pitcher. In either case, you may want to perform a final

carbon filtration step, to sweep up any remaining organic volatiles. Do-Right

Solar offers binchōtan sticks for this purpose. These are activated carbon twigs

that you keep in your water crock or pitcher.

2) Adjust flow rate – If the weather becomes very hot and sunny, then distillation

will occur more rapidly, and you may need to increase the flow rate, otherwise

the wick may not stay fully wet. As described earlier, you do this by looking at

the flow rate out of the copper water pipes and adjusting the main valve to

ensure there is some excess water flow (slow trickle is ideal). Conversely, if

the weather turns cold or partially cloudy, then you may need to reduce the flow

rate, in order to allow the wick to become hotter.

3) Turn off water at night – This is optional, but if you wish to save a little water

(about 0.5-1.0 gal/day) then you can turn off the hose faucet at night (and turn it

back on in the morning). If you have the optional irrigation timer, then this can

be done automatically (see step 5).

4) Adjust tilt angle – Efficiency is maximized when the still points directly at the

sun. As the seasons progress, the path the sun takes across the sky changes. If

you have installed the still to permanently point South, then make sure that

when the sun is due south and highest in the sky ("solar noon"), the still points

directly at the sun, by choosing the appropriate tilt angle. It's probably

sufficient to do this about four times throughout the year. If you've chosen to

adjust the still direction azimuthally as well, then you'll need to use several tilt

angles throughout the day to ensure the still is pointed at the sun. It is usually

sufficient to eyeball the direction of the sun, but the following website may also

be helpful:

and it provides the path of the sun for any day of the year.

5) Adjust timer – If you have the optional irrigation timer, then as the lengths of

day change throughout the year, you'll need to adjust the timer accordingly. As

well, if it's raining then you should manually shut off the flow through the

timer. Aim to have the timer turn on a little before the sun shines on the still,

and to turn off after the sun stops shining on the still.

6) Perform regular maintenance – Please see the next section for the maintenance

tasks you need to perform periodically.
