SUSTAINAB DRINKING
Why spend so much money on expensive bottles of water when you can make your own?
M
ake your own water? Yes, unbelievable as it may seem it s now achievable thanks to a range of innovative new
Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG’s), brought to the UK exclusively by Premier Aqua UK. These machines produce pure fresh drinking water right out of the humidity in the air!
By cutting out the need for plastic bottled water AWG’s empower you to save costs, reduce your carbon footprint and help alleviate the real threat of a UK water crisis. (EDIE, March 2010) Water is the one natural resource we cannot live without, yet the availability of safe drinking water is shrinking. For decades people have been searching for ways to offer a pure, sustainable natural source of water and now it is available to everyone. This new technology is growing at a fast rate and could be the answer on a global scale. The air to water generators come in varying sizes, from office machines producing 20 plus litres a day to machines producing 5000 litres a day offering a solution to whole communities where safe drinking water may not be available and there is relative heat and humidity levels.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Just as an air conditioner removes the moisture from the air to reduce the humidity, these machines do the same, however, once the water is harvested, it is filtered through a series of filters, including reverse osmosis to remove harmful metals, odours and killing bacteria and viruses using UV lights and ozonation. AWG’s bypass the contaminants and disinfection by-products (DBPs) found in ground water, remove fluoride, and deliver chemically-free pure, drinking water.
