Default Potable Water - The Third Way.

What Brian left to the reader's imagination, is that the head
space of the tubes is at a near perfect vacuum, flooded only with
water vapor. You might recall that a perfect vacuum will lift a
column of water about 32 feet, on a high pressure day. Or had
you not figured that out?

David A. Smith


There's a limit to the vacuum boiling. After a certain point, water goes
from a solid straight to a gas with no liquid state, just like CO2 does at
atmospheric pressure.

You can't pull a full vacuum on it and get liquid water.
