    Ok, how long does it take though, to collect enough distilled water? I've tried this method, with the ice, and it was a very slow process, I think I got about a cup after approximately six hours or so. I guess that might depend on how hot you get the water? Anyone have any tips for quicker collection?

      Water companies rarely talk about the presence of Trihalomethanes, because they are so ubiquitous. Also Trihalomethanes are a result of Chlorine damaged water, are so varied that only a small segment are measured and thirdly Trihalomethanes are KNOWN Carcinogens.

      That vapour that is produced once boiling is the pure water. It's all about trapping the steam which is clean and leaving the mess behind. So just boiling will only remove pure water in the form of steam and leave you with extra mess and less water.
