Pure Water from Air and Electricity (EASY METHOD)!

This machine makes water from thin air and promises to produce from 3 to 6 gallons per day. But after 60 days with it, I've got some data here to see how it stacks up.

what about the lack of minerals in the water?

[aquaphant]

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.

Ben, I love how honest and pragmatic you are. You seem to be the only YouTuber 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!?

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

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.

[ptzish]

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.

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!

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

[JakeDiToro]

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.

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

[JaenosJelantru]

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.

[dosomething]

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.

[francescodalpozzo]

It's heatly to drink distilled water?

[sftwrr]

Would be interested to know how this compares to dewstand.

[jayman]

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?

[traderjoe]

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

[techyjames]

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

[stephenbaker]

And to mitigate the water machine pwr sucking, you CAN..if you have decent solar access..just pop up some used $50 250 or more watt solar pnls/charge controller/inverter..& cheapo LiPo4 storage battery bank. And the LiPo4 batts last up to 10 yrs and withstand to 80%! discharge without damage!
