but boiling it will leave the salt in the pot. u would have to move the vapor to recollect as water in another container much like u would do if you were makin alcohol. if it were me, i would jus go by gallons of distilled water at the store. where i live they're only like 60 cents per gallon. or i kno that there's a chemical u can buy 2 put in water that instantly takes care of all the problems. but me personally, i like to stay away from chemicals as much as possible. Maybe it'd be best 4 u 2 just make a rain trap. not sure how much rain AZ gets tho. wouldn't imagine too much. i live in the NW where this is abundant. hope u get the clean water u need.
