Atmospheric Water Generators

As the water crisis becomes more real, with droughts, pollution, depleted snow packs and other issues shortening our fresh water supplies, there is one technology that you'll want to boost your water IQ with - atmospheric water generation. While it sounds like something for a distant, drastically different future, there are actually residential water generators on the market today. Find out how the technology works, and what options are out on the market if you want one for your home.

What's an atmospheric water generator?

There are multiple ways of generating a fresh water supply, from fog fences to desalination plants. However, there are also water generation technologies for residential homes, as long as the atmospheric conditions are right. If there is the right mix of humidity, temperature and altitude, an atmospheric water generator (AWG) takes advantage of the natural process of condensation through dehumidification.

How does a water maker work?

Essentially, the AWG is plugged in to either mains power or it can be fitted with solar panels, a coil is cooled so that warmer air passing over it condenses from vapor to liquid. The liquid is captured and stored in a holding tank as fresh drinking water. But the amount of water a machine can collect and how energy efficient and cost effective its use is, all depends upon a balance of ideal conditions.
