There are two major ways to produce fresh water from salt water. The first and oldest is by distillation. This involves boiling the water, recondensing the vapour and collecting the condensate separately from the original sample. To do this a distillation aparatus is required whether it be glassware or other. The other method is commonly used in desalination plants and it is a process by which the water is forced through a filter under pressure. The filter will remove particles as small as salt ions. This is known as osmosis.

How are salt waters different from fresh waters?
It's all in the name; salt water has salt and fresh water has no salt. The reason why some water is salty and some is not is not as simple. Usually, either there was salt in the floor of the ocean and it got mixed in or when rivers carry little particles of something in them, sometimes it's salt from the sides and bottom of the river. The water has the salt mixed in and eventually that water becomes part of the ocean.
