In summary, a "Cheap & Efficient Water Purifier" is a device that removes impurities and contaminants from water, providing clean and safe drinking water at an affordable cost. It works by using a combination of physical and chemical processes, and can have various benefits such as cost savings, improved taste and odor of water, and reduced environmental impact. Not all purifiers are the same, so it is important to research and compare options. To maintain and clean the purifier, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and regularly check and clean the water source and storage containers.

Clever idea behind this.
Its basically a still.
Only a small amount of water is heated at once, yielding 88% efficiency sunlight to evaporated water.

Always a new idea. Simple too.
They mention salt water evaporation.
Will they do tests for mineralized water, and water with other impurities ( biological ).
How long does the carbon wick continue to function under those conditions I wonder.

If the wick does be let dry out, with solidified impurities within, I would expect performance to drop in a subsequent trial.
