AirQua Atmospheric Water Harvesting FAQ...

How does AirQua Atmospheric Water Harvester make water from air?
AirQua’s patented atmospheric water harvesting technology bio-mimic nature’s rainmaking process to produce fresh pure drinking water from the air we breathe.

The most abundant source of fresh water available is in the Earth’s atmosphere. When water vapour in the atmosphere condenses, it falls as rain. AirQua machines mimic this natural process of condensation, simulating the dew point to continuously harvest water and by coalescing water vapour to ‘enhance’ the humidity saturation level it improves the harvesting efficiency even in low humidity conditions. AirQua atmospheric water harvesting technologies maximizes temperature, airflow, and surface area for optimum water production.

It is a remarkably simple, yet highly effective method that creates drinking water out of the abundant supply of moisture in the atmosphere.

AridTec holds patents and patented pending for various atmospheric water harvesting technologies. We also hold patents in most industrialized nations of the world covered through PCT, European patents under the European Patent Treaty and patents in other individual countries. AridTec is also one of the few companies which have a manufacturing and worldwide distribution of water generation systems.
 

Efficient and Versatile
All AirQua models are designed to be energy efficient and are equipped with micro-computer and electronic controls to ensure proper and optimal performance. The AirQua machines require no existing water supply, just the electricity from the municipal power grid or power generator. All AirQua models supplies fresh drinking water straight from its own tap, but can also be customised for a variety of applications to suit your needs.

The applications for AirQua atmospheric water technology are vast with applications such as a AirQua unit onsite making fresh water for a village in Africa or India. Wherever fresh water is needed, a AirQua unit can be set-up to start producing water immediately.

Other applications for AirQua units are the home, cottage, office, boats and recreational vehicles. AirQua units are movable and easily set up to any location where water is needed. Larger AirQua machines are used for industrial applications for agriculture and livestock consuming almost 90% of all fresh the water used today. The world population is increasing and more food and water will be needed and as we are now experiencing the demand is increasing while the availability of fresh water is diminishing. This problem has caused water to be the number one commodity of the 21st century, possibly surpassing oil.

The flexibility of AirQua application can best be seen in disaster and humanitarian relief, where the relief teams and agencies biggest challenge is the availability of safe water for drinking and medical use. AirQua units provide water at source and can be easily trucked or air lifted into any location, quickly providing water to any emergency situation.
 

Trusted Reliable Source of Water
Imagine. Reliable source of fresh water wherever and whenever you need it in abundance. When municipal, well or other common water sources are so often contaminated with unknown contaminants, AirQua provides a reliable water supply without the risk.
 

Consistent Performance
AirQua atmospheric water harvesters produces more water in varied climates than any other alternatives on the market due to AirQua patented water vapour coalescing technology. Depending on geographical location, AirQua atmospheric water harvesters will start making water in a few hours. In most cases you should be able to enjoy hot and cold water within 10 hours.
 

Environmentally Friendly
AirQua machines harvest water from the water vapour in the atmosphere, an infinite resource that is replenished by Earth’s natural hydrologic cycle and can be reused indefinitely without impacting the planet. In addition, Airqua machines contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions by eliminating the need and added expenses of bottling and transporting water.
