Early Adopters: You Can Now Pull Water from the Air
We Don’t Have to Rely Solely on the Aging Water Infrastructure
I heard a disturbing fact the other day. On average, 14 to 18 percent of total daily treated potable water in the United States is lost through leaks, with some water systems reporting water-loss rates exceeding 60 percent. There is no doubt an immense need to fix our aging water infrastructure, but there are alternate options to explore, starting with water generators. By harvesting water vapor from the air and condensing it into liquid, atmospheric water generators can essentially pull water from the air, and these devices hold promise for solving the freshwater crisis. Here’s a look at how they work and why you should consider investing in one.
How Atmospheric Water Generators Work
Atmospheric water generators harvest water vapor from the air and condense it into liquid. The devices come in various sizes, from small tabletop units to larger industrial-size models. Smaller units can produce up to five gallons of drinking water per day, while larger units can produce hundreds or even thousands of gallons per day. Some of the latest recreational vehicles…
