    The space shuttle uses recycled water for the astronauts. They take the urine, water from showers, tooth brushing and the moisture from the air (put there by their breath) and recycle it into drinking water. All water is usable if it can be purified.

    As for the site you posted, I think someone is selling snake oil. If you dehydrate water, you wind up with air. Think it through folks. Is you remove all the water from water....

    So if we removed all of the hot air from you, there would be NOTHING LEFT?

    Just think of it! Being able to carry in your BOB the equivalent of 50, 100, even 500 gallons or more of the stuff. Take out a few grains whenever you want, rehydrate it, and presto! A full days worth of cool refreshing H20

    Jeesh, I'm shocked nobody here has brought it up before now, but you can dehydrate your own water. All you need to do is put a pot of water on the stove, go outside for a couple minutes to pick some beans in the garden, get into a conversation with a good looking neighbor, help her walk her dog for an hour and return home. When you get back the pan will be glowing red and your water will be dehydrated.

    The only problem is that I'm not really sure what to put it in or what to add when I want to rehydrate it.
    I'll rest when I'm dead...

    I have a secret recipe I sell. Very simple 1/2 teaspoon in empty container, add one (1) gallon of water, makes one gallon. Not cheap but very reasonable.

    You can always compress your water. Every 1.8% helps.......

    So, what you are saying, is that you don't see the humor in the picture I posted? (Poor Ken.)

    The main problem with dehydrated water is that when it is rehydrated it contains dihydrogen monoxide, otherwise known as DHMO.

    Hmmmm........Look at the bottom right, of this picture.

    Ken....was your Chinese camera talking to itself?

    I'm sure you didn't just pull a picture off the web, and try to pass it off as your neighbor.
