Did you know you can boil water to remove atrazine? Not just boil, but distill. You boil water, catch the steam, and let it condense back into liquid. The atrazine stays behind in the boiling pot.
It’s like magic, but it’s just physics. Atrazine has a higher boiling point than water. It can’t jump into the steam. It’s left crying in the pot.
Distillation takes a lot of energy. And it's slow. But it’s the most dramatic way to clean water. You feel like a mad scientist in your own kitchen. “I’ll show you, atrazine!”
Funny Detail: The Boiling Pot of Weeds
After distilling, the leftover water in the pot is a super-concentrated atrazine soup. Do not dump it on your garden. You’ll kill your tomatoes. Pour it down the drain or flush it. The municipal treatment plant can handle it.

Distilled water tastes flat to some people. Add a pinch of salt or squeeze a lemon. Your body deserves flavor, even without the weed killer.
