Why Use a Drinking Water Purification System?
On November - 30 - 2008
The quality of the drinking water supply varies greatly throughout the world. No matter where you live, the bottom line is you never know for sure what is going to be in it. And just because it meets government standards does not mean it is free from contaminants. The only sure way to removed chlorine and unknown contaminants from our water is to install one of the drinking water purification systems available on the market today.

Water purification system that takes humidity out of the air and converts it to drinking water?
I have a client who says he sells a Water purification system that takes humidity out of the air and converts it to drinking water. He wants to sell this to businesses with the claim that it will save them money since they don’t have to buy 5 gallon water jugs for their water cooler. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? If so is there a website I can check out.

pros and cons
First, your talking about water that people ingest. Think of the liability for the company if they are producing their own drinking water for their employees and something goes wrong. Versus using another companies bottled water. Something like the filters or ozone generator fail and you get contaminated water…
Second, when you remove water from the air, the air becomes more dry. To compensate for dry air in the winter months, we usually add water via humidifiers. During the summer months we remove water via air conditioning. if we remove more for drinking water, we MAY have to adjust the air conditioning or add water from a humidifer to make the air comfortable. Sometimes, the relative humidity is high enough that it may actually help to remove water via this apparatus. Depends on the climate and the office conditions.
Third, this equipment uses a condensor and an ozone generating device. Although it claims to be very “efficient”, condensors use electricity. So do ozone generating devices. (your home air conditioner is a condenser fyi). The company claims the cost will be as low as 10 cents / gallon to operate the condensor but that actual costs depend on the local utilities. Not sure what to make of that. I’d like to see the specs on the unit before I’d say it would save $.
Fourth, the equipment claims to filter to 0.01 micron, ozonate the water, and remove funny tastes and odors. This means it uses a 0.01 micron membrane filter, a carbon filter and an ozonater. They all sound expensive to replace. probably quarterly for the filters and annually for the ozone generator. Meaning you need a maintenance contract
All that said, it is certainly interesting. If your “distributor ship” accepts the liability for problems, if the cost was low enough per gallon to be attractive to the companies, if the conditions of the office were adequate for the equipment, it may work. Especially in todays world where drinking water companies are being questioned about the source of their water…
