I'm doing the simple twin 5 gal bucket trick. let one fill, then
siphon off the top 3/4 into a second, and as it drains, run it thru a
simple filter.

low tech, but the water ohms out pretty low. less than 200k ohms
with my fingers holding the tips about this (holds fingers up) far
apart.

same distance and tap water ohms out to over 600k
