holy crap, a solar distiller that isn't self cleaning... so if you didn't start with pure water (what they were most likely doing) this would quickly die off, or require constant maintenance from the user. Then they have to condense it and everything else that happens in a normal solar still. I'd stick to a box with a piece of glass if i was in a 3rd world country.
