How do you make water from air?
AquaMagic water generation technology uses our patent pending AquaFlash™ system to condense moisture from the air and purify it using a combination of heat, ozonation and carbon activated filters to produce water that is more pure than even bottled water.
How much water is available?
The sky is the limit. Consider these facts: The surface of the earth is 75% water and nearly 97% of it is salt water found in global oceans. Another 2% is locked into ice caps and glaciers. This leaves just 1% to meet all of our water needs. Nearly all of this water is in constant flux because of the hydrologic or water cycle (see diagram to the right). At any moment, there are many billions of gallons of water in the air that can be tapped into.
What determines water production?
There are several factors that determine how much water is produced, such the ambient temperature, the relative humidity, air flow and dew point. While psychometric test data suggest that there is water in the air available for harvesting nearly everywhere people live, the technology operates most efficiently in warm, humid environments.
Do you need to change the filters?
The air filter will need to be washed out or replaced once or twice a year for most applications. If the air quality is very poor in your area, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. On average, the carbon and sediment filters will need to be replaced once a year.
What are the power requirements for the HP120?
The AquaMagic HP120 requires approximately 8.2kW at peak load, which is comparable to running a household air conditioner. The AquaMagic HP120-DRU (mobile unit) comes standard with a diesel powered electrical generator that provides all the power necessary to harvest water indefinitely. The HP120-DRU can also be "hard wired" to a power source if one is available.
When will the disaster response unit be available?

Won't we run out of moisture in the
air if everyone started using these?
First, a little background on the water cycle: Heat from the sun evaporates surface water which falls back to earth as precipitation. Water is exchanged continuously from the oceans to the atmosphere and back to land. Ninety percent of the moisture in our atmosphere evaporates from oceans and other surface water. The remaining 10% comes from plants through transpiration. Amazingly, an acre of planted corn can transpire 4,000 gallons of water in a single day.
Can you tell me more about the company?
How much time do you have? Really, one of the best and shortest ways to answer that would be to show you a timeline of our accomplishments:
