Abstract
Apparatus for obtaining potable water from an impure water source comprising a container having at least a first end wall, a second end wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a top wall; a volume of the impure water; a heater device for heating the volume of impure water to produce gaseous water molecules; a condensing system located inside the container for providing water condensate from the water molecules; an outlet for providing a flow of potable water from the water condensate; and a collection device for collecting the water condensate and moving the water condensate towards the outlet.
