Water plays an essential part in human life. In our daily activities, water is something we must consume for our survival. As one of the largest seawater resources country in the world does not guarantee Indonesian citizens of having pure water to consume. Since, most of the water is already polluted by factories, industries and households. The needs of pure water are increasingly needed as the human population gradually increased. One of the technology to produce pure water is solar distillation. This research aims to find out the water productivity results and the efficiency of glass cover cooling by flowing water over the glass cover on passive double slope solar still. The results showed that the actual and theoretical water productivity calculation for this method are 4,36 liters and 7,57 liters. The efficiency for actual and theoretical of the system 52,32% and 90,88% respectively.
