Although the concept of extracting water from the air is not new, the technology to make it drinkable and available to the mass market has never been perfected until now. Water from Air Technology utilises the natural moisture content in the air to create pure, high-quality drinking water. Nature provides this unlimited water source in the form of humidity, and Water Master developed a unique "Crystallisation" process to tap into this resource. By comparison, a dehumidifier produces water as a by-product of the dehumidification process using condensation, or a "sweating" technique. Water Master's technology takes this process further by lowering the temperature enough to freeze moisture into ice crystals, which effectively does away with pollutants and other airborne impurities right from the start, even before filtration and sterilisation. Clean, pure water is therefore produced more efficiently.
The C2000 Water Maker extracts moisture from the surrounding environment over a wide range of ambient conditions from 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F). It is possible for this range to be expanded dependent on the temperature and amount of water in the air.
Air drawn through filters on the machine is sufficient enough to produce the amount of water the C2000 requires. The air requirement is calculated by a microprocessor based on the content of water existing in the environment (i.e. gm of water/kg of dry air) and on Enthalpy or the amount of energy present in the air.
Moisture is crystallised onto specially designed roped stainless steel coils. This act of changing moisture into ice crystals is the first stage of the purification process. Most pollution in the air will pass harmlessly through the machine without contaminating the water. Every few minutes the ice is melted into water, filtered down to a 1-micron absolute level and stored for further sterilising and processing.
While in storage, water is sterilised intermittently utilising an internal Ozone (O3) process. In addition, antimicrobial technology keeps water purified right up to the tap. This strict purification regime ensures that the water meets or exceeds international water quality standards.
1.
Air enters through the primary Intake Screen.
2.
Roped Stainless Steel Coils crystallise (freeze) moisture from the air, allowing dust and other airborne impurities to pass harmlessly through the machine.
3.
Ice is melted into water and pumped through a 5-Micron (nominal) Sediment Filter to remove any remaining dust and other fine sediments.
4.
A 1-Micron (absolute) Sediment Filter with Activated Carbon is used to ensure water is ultra clean.
5.
Filtered water collects in the Lower Storage Tank where ozone is bubbled up for purification prior to entering the upper tank.
6.
The Upper Storage Tank displays ready-to-drink water with an attractive bubble curtain to facilitate circulation and further ozone sterilisation.
7.
The Chiller and Heater* store smaller quantities of water in temperature-controlled tanks.
8.
Beautifully pure, crystal clear drinking water is dispensed through the Tap.
