A new source of water that is environmentally friendly
"Winner" of the coveted "Green Apple Award" FOR THE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCT
Published:  20 January, 2008

VI has been speaking with Envirosource, a company which has manufactured a new type of water cooler which converts air to water. Producing the purest drinking water from the air we breathe and needing only an electric supply to install, their machines are ideal for offices or homes where no plumbing is available and save the purchase of water bottles.

Is your water safe?

Today, if you are given a choice, would you continue to drink water from your tap? Water is a natural solvent, so many things get dissolved into it. Even though your water may look, taste and smell good, there is a high chance it may contain a number of water contaminants, such as:

  • Lead, Copper, Mercury & other heavy metals
  • THMs (Trihalomethanes) & Chlorine
  • Pesticides & Herbicides
  • Arsenic, Radon & Bromate
  • E-Coli & Other Bacteria
  • Using Nature's source
The Water Cycle is Nature's continuous cycle of evaporation and condensation in the form of rain or snow. The Earth's atmosphere contains 102,000 cubic miles of water or 0.031% of the 326 million cubic miles of water on Earth. This water is constantly replenished regardless of man's actions through evaporation and the hydrological cycle. This is nature's way of cleaning and producing fresh rain water. Since Creation, not one drop of water has been added or subtracted.

It is man's activities in the last 150 years that has altered the quality of our drinking water. Industrialization, herbicides, pesticides, pipe works, chemicals, population expansion into our catchments areas have all had a serious impact and the result is a potentially hazardous drinking water supply. Subsequently, more people are choosing alternative means of obtaining their drinking water. Bottled water, filtered water, jug purifiers, bottled water coolers, under sink filtration systems have all become prevalent.

Envirosource believe that they have produced an innovative and superior air water purifier that produces clean, fresh and healthy drinking water. Unlike any existing system, they have creatively combined and harnessed nature's creations of air and water with 21st Century digital technology to provide an unsurpassed water quality as well as a healthier dehumidified living and working environment.

Air to Water generators create a new standard in the production of quality drinking water for human consumption by utilizing nature's own hydrologic system. Air is drawn through an electrostatic & carbon air filter and is continuously cleaned before being condensed into pure water by passing through 6 stages of hot & cold UF/UV filtraters and uses UV and UF for complete removal of harmful organic substances.

How it works

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers using refrigerant systems have been extracting water vapour from the air for generations. The water collected is usually regarded as waste water. Other technologies for water extraction include thermo-electric devices (Peltier effect) and desiccants.

Envirosource's Atmospheric Water Generator works by converting the humidity in the air to water. The entering air is filtered so that only clean air passes across the cold surface of the machine's coil. Filtration and ultra-violet treatment ensure bacteria and virus free drinking water.

How the Water Is Made

Envirosource's Air Water Machine extracts moisture from air and condenses and converts to water. The water is then stored in a water tank to be flowed through a series of filters for filtration process to take place.

Energy efficient

Envirosource's machines are energy efficient and equipped with microcomputers to ensure proper and optimum performance. The Envirosource Atmospheric Water Generator produces pure, high quality drinking water. Their technology creates and defines entirely new markets and their product is an attractive alternative to the logistics and expense of bottled water.

Water quality meets World Health Organization drinking water standards.

Affordable

The machine produces one gallon of water for about one kilowatt-hour of energy. (The national average for electricity in the United States is about 8 cents per kilowatt-hour.) This is a significant savings over the cost of bottled water, with convenience and reliable quality not found with other methods or sources. 

Service & Warranty

The Envirosource is easily maintained and includes one year's manufacturer warranty. All maintenance may be carried out by the owner very easily but if required a maintenance agreement can be arranged to suit the customer's needs. Envirosource have a nationwide network of qualified technicians.

  • Power Saving- Incorporates a night time automatic power saving function.
  • Looks Good - Aesthetically designed to allow easy integration with existing office layouts & designs.
  • Environmentally Friendly - Eliminates plastic bottles and saves precious water reserves by drawing from an abundant source of water in the air.
The Envirosource

The Envirosource atmospheric water generator is superior in design, features and benefits. It generates purified water from the atmosphere. The filtration system assures healthy, pure drinking water by purifying the air we breath.

The washable air filter removes dust and airborne particles. The machine produces up to 6 gallons of water in a 24 hour period. This estimate is based on yearly average of 60% humidity with a 26.7°C temperature. Water storage capacity is 4.3 gallons.

Actual water production and costs will vary with the moisture content of the air at your location. Air moisture content varies daily, seasonally and from place to place on the globe.

This state-of-the-art machine is equipped with a reliable control system that turns the machine off when full and circulates the water periodically to maintain clean drinking water 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

A warning light tells you when the filter is in need of replacement. The power requirement is 450W.

The Envirosource water purifier can be purchased outright for further information contact Trevor Haviland at Envirosource UK Ltd on 00 44 (0) 845 0061423 Fax 0044 (0) 1268 572326, e-mail info@envirosource.eu or visit www.envirosource.eu
