    Glad to hear it! I’m a big advocate of communicating scientific concepts to people in simple, easy to understand ways, and i try my best to do my part just a little each day.

    I believe anyone can understand these things, and if they don’t it’s the fault of the teacher not the student.

    And by the way, i wasn’t saying that your idea is impossible. It’s a good idea. I was just pointing out some practical difficulties. I’m sure someone smart enough can figure out a way to implement something like it.

      Lol. It should have been plain in the beginning that at best, the water would need several passes, and I wasn’t thinking of bacteria like fecal matter may contain, so of course chlorine may need to be used (I was actually thinking of industrial waste water, but that’s what I get for being tired and in a hurry). At any rate, I’m happy it happened because I learned something worth knowing! Maybe others did, too.

      Thanks again, comrade! 🫡
