“As one of the four basic things humans need to live, clean drinking water is obviously of the utmost importance. While rainfall and rivers and lakes are the traditional go-to sources, climate change is making once reliable water sources much more undependable. Aquaria Technologies, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2022, is looking to provide affordable, clean drinking water for the masses by pulling it out of the air…
Unlike your run-of-the-mill dehumidifier, which also pulls moisture out of the air, modern AWGs have particulate filtration, carbon filtration, and ultraviolet (UV) sterilization to kill any viruses or bacteria, with some models even offering mineralization to make the water taste better and increase its nutritional value. Without filtration and sterilization, dehumidifier water would be unsafe to consume, potentially containing contaminants from the air or the device itself.”
It costs $3500 but it’s an interesting technology to watch. Especially if the price becomes affordable for most people.
