Waterex, Making Water out of Air

Waterex

Vic DaSilva
Contributing Writer, RealTechNews

For the Gadget that keeps on giving, comes a water cooler that makes water from air(think of it as a dehumidifier with a filter). The Waterex is capable of producing 30 liters of water in 24 hours and has 2 water compartments that can store up to 18 L of water . It has five filters to make the water taste just right and a overflow protection sensor for when it’s full. One cooler should provide enough drinking water for 10 people per day.

    Very cool product, but probably not to useful for the people who live in very dry climates who really need it. Anybody invent the replicator yet?

    Price?

  4. Vic DaSilva says:

    The price is $820-895. The one thing I wonder about is the filters. I wonder how long they are good for and how much. I will look into that if you wish. I have a funny feeling that the filters for this unit are like the inkjet cart. of the printer world.

  5. John says:

    When I was in high school, we built an electrostatic
    dehumidifier in a science hood that used a glass tube
    to run water up into a faucet.

    I wonder if this unit is related.

    By the way, our superintendant made us disconnect
    it because, he said, “It cost to much electricity
    to run!!!!”

    What I was wondering, is just where Vic got this story. See, cause the proper etiquette, is to name your source. Unless of course, you magically stumbled on it somehow. I think that’s unlikely as this was on www.bookofjoe.com two days ago, and on www.ohgizmo.com just yesterday.

    So yeah, either a big coincidence, or an innocent omission.

    I first posted this story http://www.uberreview.com/2005/05/waterex-making-water-out-of-air.htm
    on May 12, 2005. I came across it when I first did some research on buying a water cooler for the home.

    LMAO @ Rob. While you’re at it, you can squeegee the inside of my car windows and add it to the Brita.

    Looks like someone owes an apology to Vic ;)

    Sure does. Vic, my apologies.

    Im am an agent for waterex. The system costs $850.The filters cost an adverage 50$ per year. The hotter the country and the more humid the country the more fresh drinking water will the machine produce.

    The advantages are superb:

    1 Free fesh drinking water ( Only very low electric consumption)
    2 Free from bacteria
    3 No handling of plastic or glass bottles. (Good for both the environment and no handling of bulky bottles )
    4 No Storage of bottles required.
    5 Extreamly brilliant for washing your hair with.
    6 No Plumbing required.
    7 Provides Hot cold and tepid water.
    8 Good for residences, offices, restaurants, clubs, gym’s ect.

    The break even period is only 2 years therefore after 2 years water from your Waterex is virtually free.

    Well if you could make many of these and take them over to Afica, you would make much more in friendship than you are asking for in cash.

    Advantages sound good. I would like to know how the air purification effects humidity in room where Waterex is located. Does it dry the air in such way that plants ar flowers around may die?
