You don't have to buy a machine to make perfectly clean and pure water. All you need is your freezer and one or two large pots, preferably stainless steel and not aluminium. The method depends on a knowledge of the chemical composition of pure water and of common impurities, and then utilising the fact that these impurities and pure water freeze and melt in a fixed and manageable order. Before freezing water. it is a good idea to heat it to 70 or 80 degrees centigrade. This process is called a "white boil." At this temperature bubbles begin to appear. The purpose of the 'white boil" is to evaporate most of the chlorine. If you nearly fill a large steel pot of "white boiled" and cooled water and put it in the freezer, after 4 or 5 hours, a thin layer of ice will form around the outside of the water like a shell. This first ice is formed from hard water and contains radio-nucleates. Hard water is very dangerous to our health. It freezes at +3.8 degrees C. After a further 8 - 12 hours, about two thirds of the water has frozen. This part is transparent. It is pure water and freezes at -1 degrees C. This water is the best for our health. The last one third contains all other impurities such as heavy metals, pesticides, nitrates, chemical additives, organic matter and rubbish from the plumbing system. When this final part freezes it shows as a cloudy white core in the centre of the block of ice. This is light water and freezes last. When you freeze a pot of water, it freezes like this:
5. After 8 -12 hours, remove the pot and check. You can expect to find that most of the water has frozen into perfectly clear ice but that there is still some water un-frozen in the centre of the block. Break the top surface of the ice in the central part of the block with a knife or suitable clean tool and pour away this impure water from the hole in the centre. If what you have left is all clear and transparent, then it is pure. If some part of the ice in the centre is white or cloudy, you can melt it away by running tap water over it and tipping it out until all that is left is clear. 6. Put the pot aside and as the ice melts, pour it into a clean glass bottle or . ar with a lid, and store in the refri erator.
