Gjac, there is a solar equivalent for fresh pure drinking water -- it is called a solar still! But you need a source of water (scarce out West). It is easier just to carry extra jerry cans and refill them as needed. Whenever we leave our trailer for the day (like to go hiking or whatever), we carry a couple of empty cans.
(By the way, for you history buffs, I have been told that they are called "jerry cans" because the Germans used them for fuel, and some Allied soldiers in World War II called the Germans "jerries.")
