Abstract

The need for clean water is the right of every living thing, especially humans. However, in the dry seasons, the fulfillment of the clean water in several regions in Indonesia is difficult. For that reason, this study examined simple tools to produce clean water. The study was conducted using three identical distillers with three different absorbers. The overall dimension of each distiller was 0.8 m × 1 m × 0.5 m, while the area of each absorber was 0.8 m × 1 m or 0.8 m². The distillers had been tested for 3 days, from 9 to 16 Middle Indonesia Time. The material used was seawater. The seawater was evaporated and condensed in the distillers. The results of the experiment were clean water (distilled water). The absorber with fins produced the largest amount of distilled water. It is recommended to be used and developed in the future for fulfilling the clean water demands.
