    That is incorrect, because salt water electrolysis is a thing - actually so much more efficient even, that they salt fresh water because it takes less energy. Not only that - the plant which I indirectly work for uses grey water. You know, that stuff that you flush down the drain?

      Which is great, but I’m sure your plant deionizes the water before using it in the electrolyzers, right? So the water is still being purified, just not by a public water plant.
