Pure Water from Air and Electricity (EASY METHOD)! 

what about the lack of minerals in the water?

Great content as always. Love the new direction of the channel.

Ben, I love how honest and pragmatic you are. You seem to be the only RU-vidr who's actually reviewing atmospheric water generators in real life. The best everyday civilian application I can see is for full time RVers. I've seen news about Watergen's ON Board system since 2019 but never actually seen one reviewed. Any plans to try reviewing one of those? I can see someone eventually pairing an atmospheric water generator with an EV like route del sols/sollarolas that has enough solar production to be self efficient both energy and water wise. Maybe you're the guy to do that!?

Thanks so much for the honest review Ben. Aquaphant is working on RND, creating and developing a smaller more efficient and less expensive unit at the moment. We also have new enhancements to this technology that's going to blow everyone away very soon. We have created a new efficient compressor that uses 75% less power. It also uses a eco friendly and sustainable refrigerant.

I live in Florida, that thing would be making a ton of water everyday 🤣

Great Video!

Great honest review of this system, and I’m looking forward to the one year cost breakdown video we’ll surely see when it’s been a year. I noticed the estimated annual energy cost was $328 but that was a projection and the variables will change of course. It will be cool to see if it improves over time. Thanks for the great content.

I think this thing would work so much better in an environment like Mississippi or Florida where it is much more humid. And definitely correct, in a water shortage situation this thing would be golden!

Great video! Can you do a review of the water maker on your roof? I watched that video 2 years ago and wonder how it has been working.

I'm in the bay area, will look into DIY. There's a very good guide on instructables that can be a starting point

Would be interested to know how this compares to dewstand.

Hmm, so I recently got a heat pump installed, and the installer put a condensate drain into the basement sink next to it. This makes me wonder if I could feed the condensate to a container instead...

Add some indoor plants that increase humidity in the room you have it, should take care of you´re efficiency problems plus a lot more nice air with plants.

This device seems to have a temperature and humidity sensor. Why doesn't it set itself to standby when conditions are below it's operating specifications? Seems to me it would use a lot less power that way.

It's heatly to drink distilled water?

Looks like would be incredibly useful in rvs or off grid scenarios with adequate solar power

If you're all taking hot showers just put the thing in the bathroom. You might as well put it in the most humid room in the house.

Great honest review. What about a dehumidifier and a Berkey Filter?

How long will the filter last and is it a standard off the shelf item that can easily be replaced when it eventually will need to be replaced?

I grow gourmet mushrooms in a grow tent where I run a humidifier to (usually) keep the humidity at ~92%. Maybe I could put one of these units in the tent and let it fight it out with my humidifier. 😆

This would work well in FL

Did you actually notice a substantial de-humidifying effect? I am interested in something like this to de-humidify my house, and would rather drink than waste the water, but it would have to do a pretty good job. I am in Houston, so there is no issue with having enough Humidity.

the problem is this wouldnt even work in a drought because the humidity would drop it just easier to run pipe

AQ.2 Atmospheric Water Generator Regular price$2,299.00 USD

I am so confused with why this isn't widespread in the country I live. It is extremely humid here and water prices are high. First thought was actually for use for my fish tanks. 😂

I don’t get it where if the temperature drops, why wouldn’t you be able to pull water? It should be the opposite where if the temperature drops, it should be easier to pull water because the air moisture is condensing, hence the word “condensation” or water that develops on cold nights and morning on your car windshield and metal surfaces. It should be easier on the system you’re reducing the energy state of the air temperature at a lower state of energy (cold air) than you would at a higher state of energy (warm/hot air). It’s also the same principle if you’re trying to freeze something. It’s easier on your freezer to freeze (solid state) something quickly and with less energy if it’s been in your refrigerator around 40-45 degrees for a couple of hours to get it below 32 degrees rather than taking something that is at room temperature around 72-74 degrees and reducing its energy state down below 32 degrees.

Sounds great!? Its noisy, consumes a lot of energy, long start up times and it needs the ideal conditions to work.

What trade show did you get this at?

Is there any maintenance cost like replacing filters on a regular bases?

Great video as always! Wish I could have it in Southern Utah

I think the panels on the roof was better? But expensive.

So s house with both solar AND high humidity? This would likely work well here in the Pacific NW. The worry I have with this, as I do so many other things. When does this turn into a "Life Service" model and the owner has to pay 10-30 dollars a month extra for access to their own unit? What other data can or will they collect?

Did I get that right that the water is destilled? So it has no minerals in it?

What is the name of the big system that you talk in this video to made water o The roof

It suits better in tropical climate But really that price tag

I am in South Africa, my water is about 50c US/ 1000l and electricity costs about 12c UIS \ kWh so this will never be worth it for me.

It seems to me that buying 18.9 L and returning the container everytime you do grocerie shopping is cheaper and more ecological no?

Waiting weeks after you get it in order to use it makes it a no-buy!🤔

So, not a great idea for most of the Mojave/high desert, eh? 😂 (extreme lack of humidity in the summer and very-very cold in the winter)

People like to live in California because there is less rain. But it will become desert in distant future eventually. Water is requirement for all life, and you value sunshine to give up water, and have to spend so much money to make water using all these high tech stuff. I'd just move to more moist geography

Sounds like the old system is better. My other spot is Palm Springs where, as you know, humidity is low. This may not be a solution especially when AC is on often

So you got 0.25gal vs the promised 3 gal? What is their promo materials I wonder. This is failure levels approaching a scam. Then it needs a lot of electricity and makes noise? And a yearly replacement filter that is proprietary for $150? What a joke. Thanks for the video though, appreciate it.

Floridians are laughing at you right now!

Just collect water from the AC condensate. We get so much water from ours that it's formed a small pond off the end of the discharge pipe. It's free water that's always being wasted. Pure water too! But you wouldn't think that is was all that much the way it drips ...Ever let a leaky faucet drip until you got the water bill? You could run a line from it straight into the pool or a rain barrel. It's passive collection! And it adds up over time.

This would be great to put in a basement. Consistent temp and humidity

Incredible waste of power, while taking up a bunch of space and making lots of noise. If you want RO water, get an RO system and treat tap or rain water...

My man’s views getting crushed smh

When it warms up in Spring leave your windows open to bring in humid air

Couldnt you just buy a dehumidifier, use the water and pour into a brita filter and get water cheaper that way? lol, sorry just not worth $2K using that much electicity.

Tesla ❤️

IRC the average person contributes about half a litre to the humidity of the house they're living in. So really, you're drinking your own sweat here, aren't you.
