Pure drinking water is a basic amenity that is required by men to live healthy lives. Man has tried various methods to purify water since ancient times. The water purification systems they used did improve the taste of water and help remove odors; however, these systems did little to remove the disease causing microbes. The dreaded cholera and typhoid epidemics were caused by impure water. With the advent of science and technology, numerous water purification systems such as reverse osmosis, distillation and UV water filtration have been invented. However, all these methods primarily purify ground or surface water in order to produce pure drinking water. Which brings us to an uncomfortable truth – can the toxic wastes present in surface water be removed completely by these methods?

Our dear planet Earth was once richly endowed with every thing that was needed to support life including pure drinking water. With the advancement of human civilization, men became greedier. In the name of rapid industrial growth, men wreaked havoc in the air and water.The mindless dumping of enormous amounts of toxic industrial wastes into our rivers and lakes has polluted almost all the surface and ground water on the face of the Earth. Chlorine and Fluoride, two widely used minerals for water treatment purposes, have been known to cause cancer. Also Lead, a hazadous element adds up to pollute the water supply source through plumbing systems and pipes. The damage that has been caused is irreversible. Surface water quality will never be the same again.

This pitiable condition of surface water has forced scientists to turn towards atmospheric water for a feasible and cost effective solution. Finally, we have a technology that can actually create water from air. This technology uses atmospheric moisture to create pure drinking water. All that needs to be done is to connect the unit to a power supply, and that’s it – it does the rest. This is also a commercially practical option since a home water purification system that uses this technology capable of producing 1 gallon of 99.99% pure drinking water at a cost of half a dollar.

Atmospheric water Systems, Inc. has created one such device that produces 99.99% pure drinking water from air at a cost that is 40% less than bottled water. The device actually pays for itself within the first year of purchase. It uses a four stage water filtration system.

In order to insure a zero bacteria count, they use a patented system. The built-in “Antibiotic Air-Filtration System” purifies the incoming air-flow in order to remove airborne microbes. The UV water filtration system takes care of the remaining impurities in order to produce the best quality drinking water. This device also doubles up as a water dispenser that provides both hot and cold water on demand and has child proof hot water safety guard valves.

If you are particular about your carbon footprint, you would love this water purification system as it uses minimal energy. Apart from being twice as expensive as atmospheric water, bottled water also involves using plastic bottles and transportation costs. You can contribute to reducing global warming by choosing to use these atmospheric water filtration units.
