I really like this instructable. Short, and to the point. It's one of those things I'll file away in the back of my mind for some day.

Put some foil in an arch under the dirty water bottle to focus the sun's rays.  This'll help the evaporation rate.

lay a rag or something over the empty bottle and the lower temp. will increase the condensing action and shorten the time of distillation.
