Relying on tap water or bottled water for drinking is now a thing of the past. Envirosource has designed a water purifier that delivers the purest drinking water available directly from the air.
The Envirosource air-to-water purifier, Aqua V, harnesses moisture from the atmosphere via condensation (much like an air-conditioner) to create an unlimited supply of pristine drinking water. And since the system creates water from the air, it is ultimately less expensive than any other source of water.
Envirosource's chief executive officer, Gautam Singh, said that while the system is innovative and a genuine 'first', it is based on a simple concept.
"We're doing something quite simple - condensing air through a cooling system to create water - but we've created a system that does it exceptionally well," Gautam said.
"What makes it unique is six stages of filtration - no other water purifier on the market can deliver water of 0.01 micron purity.
"The system was awarded the 'Green Apple Award' for the best environmentally friendly machine in the UK by the House of Commons last November, so we're very proud of what it can do," Gautam added.
For those who currently purchase bottled water - both at home and in the office - the system also equates to significant savings.
"Over the course of a year of bottled water for average domestic use, our customers are saving more than $1,000, and even more if they purchase the unit outright. Customers who use a lot of drinking water, such as those who purchase for an office setting, can save significantly more. Pure water is a priority for some of us, and this system makes incredibly pure water affordable, and certainly less expensive than bottled water," Gautam said.
"Our customers can buy a unit outright, or lease it on a short and long term plan, meaning homes and offices can have unlimited, pure drinking water for as little as $12.65 per week."
The system works by drawing air through an electrostatic and carbon filter to be condensed into water. The water then passes through five more filters including a UV steriliser and a UF filter to ensure all bacteria or organic substances are removed.
Unlike tap, boiled, filtered and bottled water that all retain some impurities, the Aqua V has six stages of filtration resulting in the purest drinking water available.
"The Aqua V will extract up to twenty-four litres of purified drinking water per day," Gautam said.
Once installed, the Aqua-V will self-regulate with minimal maintenance. The unit recirculates water already collected to prevent stagnation, and the user can clean the air filter once a month, simply by running it through a dishwasher.
The other filters require regular maintenance - from six-monthly to once every two years - this servicing is carried out by a certified Envirosource service agent. Envirosource provides the option of leasing an Aqua V for two, three, four or five years as well as outright purchase. For as little as $12.65 per week, Australian households and offices can be drinking the purest water available without harm to the environment.
Consumers and businesses can also purchase an Aqua V outright, starting at approximately $2,000 + GST. To enquire about purchasing a unit, customers can go to www.envirosource.com.au for contact details.
