    all you guys live in an area with a lot of salt water conveniently avaialble or do you figure the taps will switch to salt for the new fridge filters? also does it get any other gross stuff out besides salt or do you have to prefilter the salt water for non salts stuff.

      From the article, its essentially a solar powered distillation device. Since it’s distilling the water you wouldn’t have to worry about other contaminants, they would all be left behind with the salt. Of course there’s nothing wrong with running it through a reverse osmosis system but you’ll probably want to add minerals back into the water if you were to do anything to it.
