A: It could be something like the Longevity Mineral Water System
They claim to accomplish what you're after, but it sounds like some kind of water filtration system that they're selling. I'll link you to it just so you can have a look, but I'm not sure that's it: http://water.computeritc.net/index-2.htmlThere are liquid mineral supplements out there. In fact, I bought a small sample of one of these a couple of months ago from VitaminShoppe. This sounds a lot more like what you're after: Vitamin Shoppe Trace Mineral Liquid 8 Fluid Ounces Liquid VS-2291 #1563824 VALUE PRICE: $14.99 http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=VS-2291Directions: As a dietary supplement, mix 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon once or twice daily with juice or food. May also be taken straight, followed by a glass of juice or water. If needed or desired, dosages may be moderately increased. Moderately increased dosages are safe, but larger amounts may have a laxative effect. For a complete, balanced spectrum of low sodium and trace minerals, and improved flavor, add 20-40 drops (2-4 drops per glass) of Trace Mineral Liquid to one gallon of distilled, R.O., or purified water. Compares to expensive mineral water. At 20 drops per gallon, 8 ounces will remineralize 192 gallons. Supplement Facts - Amount per Serving Magnesium - 250 Mg Chloride - 700 Mg Sodium - 10 Mg Potassium - 10 Mg Sulfate - 55 Gm Lithium - 1.5 Mg Boron - 1 Mg This didn't taste bad to me, but I mixed it in with juice not water. I only bought it so that my purchase amount was high enough to qualify for a promotional thing they were having. But it seems like a good product. I hope this helps!!

A: Water
Sparkling water has carbon dioxide dissolved in it and so it is acid and can damage the enamel of your teeth. If you drink a lot of it I would recommend using a straw to reduce the flow of it across your teeth.
Spring water is good... reverse osmosis water (RO) is good too (Disanti, etc). You can get a reverse osmosis system for your house from www.freedrinkingwater.com (I would recommend that site... honest dealings with many folks I know) and I have no association with them other than being a regular customer. I would recommend the 9 gallon per day one at least and you can add a UV sterilizer to kill living organisms that might be lurking in your water.
Find out from your water company what kind of chlorine they use (bonded or free gas) and then let these people at the site know so they can recommend some form of chlorine remover for your system. Chlorine is poisonous... tolerable but still it wipes your natual biotic flora from your digestive system and that is very bad. Other thinks like Fluoride are mile toxins too... tolerable but have a cumalative negative effect on your health I think. A carbon filter (part of your system) will remove many of these bad things.
I regard tap water as dangerous... in my home we don't even let the dog and cat drink it. Even our refrigerator water and ice dispensor is hooked into our RO system.

A: according to wikihow...
Things You'll Need
- A pan (preferably one with a concave cover)
- A glass or cup
- Salt water
- A heat source
Steps
- Get a pot and put an empty glass cup inside it in the center.
- Slowly pour some salt water into the pot.... Do not over fill. Stop well before the water level has reached the mouth of the glass. Make sure no salt water splashes into the glass while boiling.
- Place the pot cover upside down so the highest point or handle is facing down right above it and facing the glass.
- Bring the water to a slow boil. A violent full boil can contaminate the drinking water by splashing into the glass.
- As the water boils it becomes vapor, which condenses in the air as steam and on the cover's surface as water droplets, which fall right into the glass. As you probably know, when water boils, it becomes pure vapor, leaving behind anything that was dissolved in it. (This will probably take 20 minutes or more.)
- Wait a little while before drinking the water from inside the glass, since both the water and the glass will be very hot.
Tips
- It really helps a lot if you can cool down the cover while the water boils so, as to make the condensation occur faster. You can use cold salt water to do that, or just change it when it becomes warm.
- This can also be done with urine if you're in the desert and water is hard to come by. If you do not have a pot, you can just dig a hole in the ground, do your business in the hole, place a glass/container in the middle and cover with something (plastic bag works). Place a pebble or weight on the middle of the cover, the depression on the cover caused by the weight will help direct the condensed water into your glass/container. The natural heat of the sand will evaporate the clean water into the glass.
- This method of evaporating and condensing water is called distilling. It can be used with normal tap water whenever distilled water is needed.
- Let a little steam come out so it doesn't explode!
Warnings
- Careful - the water might overflow.
- Take care in what you are doing. Do not fill the pot too high. You don't want to be drinking salt water or worse, urine that has splashed into the center glass.
- You can even use sunlight to create fresh water this way without a fire. You'll be able to get enough fresh water to stall the effects of dehydration, but you'll have some difficulty getting 2 quarts to a gallon of fresh water every day just through solar power. If you're able to make a fire, you can boil salt water and distill more fresh water that way.
- If you're lucky, you may be able to find water-rich foods like citrus fruits in the area which reduce your need for purified fresh water.
There you go, hope this helps you John :)
