A Device That Creates Pure Drinking Water from Thin Air

Pure drinking water is a basic amenity that is required by men to live healthy lives. Man has tried various methods to purify water since ancient times. The water purification systems they used did improve the taste of water and help remove odors; however, these systems did little to remove the disease causing microbes. The dreaded cholera and typhoid epidemics were caused by impure water. With the advent of science and technology, numerous water purification systems such as reverse osmosis, distillation and UV water filtration have been invented. However, all these methods primarily purify ground or surface water in order to produce pure drinking water. Which brings us to an uncomfortable truth - can the toxic wastes present in surface water be removed completely by these methods?

Our dear planet Earth was once richly endowed with every thing that was needed to support life including pure drinking water. With the advancement of human civilization, men became greedier. In the name of rapid industrial growth, men wreaked havoc in the air and water. The mindless dumping of enormous amounts of toxic industrial wastes into our rivers and lakes has polluted almost all the surface and ground water on the face of the Earth. Chlorine and Fluoride, two widely used minerals for water treatment purposes, have been known to cause cancer. Also Lead, a hazardous element adds up to pollute the water supply source through plumbing systems and pipes. The damage that has been caused is irreversible. Surface water quality will never be the same again.

Scientists have finally turned to atmospheric water for a viable solution. Strange as it sounds, we finally have a technology that practically "conjures" water from thin air. This latest water purification system uses atmospheric moisture to create pure drinking water. Unlike all other water purification systems, it is not dependent on conventional water supply methods. The machine just needs electricity to operate and that's about it! By using this technology, we can get water at rates as cheap as $0.5 a gallon, which makes it a practical home water purification system.

The home water purification appliances that use this technology can normally create up to 12 gallons of 99.99% pure drinking water per day. The appliances built for commercial use can create up to 24 gallons of pure drinking water everyday. One such appliance created by Atmospheric Water Systems, Inc., uses a four-stage water filtration system in order to remove the slightest of impurities.

An in-built "Antibiotic Air-Filtration System" removes microbes from the incoming air while another patented system maintains a zero bacteria count. To make this device fool proof, there is a UV water filtration system that removes the remaining impurities. The unit also serves as a water dispenser that can supply hot and cold water on demand. The hot water tap comes with a special child proof gear.

This green technology is Eco-friendly, uses minimal energy and can finally help us put an end to those millions of plastic bottles used to supply bottled water.
