[@fightforfreedom5292]

What actually is a pyramid scheme? I read it is where the person at the top of the pyramid recruits someone to recruit other people and so on. People get a commission for everyone they recruit. Is that how it works or am I wrong?

[@Vagrant202]

@@fightforfreedom5292 yeah and that’s why this model ultimately falls apart. You see, people usually make money through selling products and get profits from it, not by people below feeding them money. Those unqualified people don’t have knowledge to sell things, and can only hope to recruit more people so they can get money from it. Once people don’t join your scam anymore, it start to break from the bottom up. The lower tiers suffer the most and have the most amount of people.

@@jakethesnake1503 The idea of sitting back and watching the money roll in (which demands as much work as starting any salescompany with enough salesmen and management to relieve you of your own effort), in combination with you having to usually pay to recieve training or some form of plus deal is what is dishonest. Why don't they just hire you as a salesman at their expanding company with an increasing demand? Because the product isnt good enough. If it was, getting hired by them would be a challange, not an idea sold to you. So they convince you to sell a product after actually buying it and if you succeed they make money and if you fail they make money. If you fail you loose money but can't file for bancrupcy. It's as if i told you: Hey if you buy these piles of dirt from me, you could probably sell them for a bit more. And if you need advice I can give you guidence in exchange for more money. Its a basic salesposition with less security and usually a lot more manipulative hiring adds.

Quick trick tip: notice during the electric test to show the differences in the waters, only one side was smoking when they took it out the of the cups. That side was the "dirty water." That smoke is coming from the coating they sprayed to make it seem dirty.

[@lcloutier1000]

That smoke was heated chlorine and hydrogen gas coming off the anode and cathode reacting with the ambient air. Electrolysis produces Cl-2 and H-2 from the reaction with water (H20) and salt (NaCl). The saltier the water, the quicker it becomes dark when current is passed through it. Salts in water are actually good, they're minerals and "electrolytes" (like they put in Gatorade). However, passing electricity through metals dipped in water will make it unsafe to drink.

[@HaralHeisto]

@@lcloutier1000 I've seen the green water before - it comes from using stainless steel electrodes, the chlorine from the electrolysed salt water leaches chromium out of the stainless steel to produce chromium chloride. The electrodes on the "good water" side will be carbon steel instead.

@Joe Nicholson you're not meant to have water without minerals. It could possibly cause great harm to your intestines if you were to drink pure H2O

[@patrickhammer8147]

@Joe Nicholson Cells try to keep the concentration of disolved electrolytes balanced. by consuming deminteralised water, you mess up the balance, which the cells will try to restore be taking in more water (due to the cells "skin" being a semipermeable membrane). if the cells were to take in to much water they would burst, hence causing harm, mostly in the intestine. the danger of drinking demineralised water is often a bit overstatet though. the human body is fairly resilient, so as long as you dont drink large amounts of it or drink it very regularily nothing happens. a glas or two doesnt really hurt.

That hokey "electrolyzer" test is bunk. If you electrolyze water you get hydrogen and oxygen. The water doesn't turn colors from that alone; they've got some trick going on to make it change colors, and those colors are in no way a good test of water purity. I'm not surprised it tastes bad either, that's basically air conditioner condensation they're drinking. It's going to have picked up contamination from the air and nothing short of a reverse osmosis filter will get that out of there. And if you have a reverse osmosis filter you don't need a fancy condenser.

[@Not_Nyx864]

True it's a scam. They put some epsom salt in there to make it discolour when electrolysed.

[@lo2740]

it is a very simple scam, the colors comes from the electrodes, different electrode composition will produce different oxides colors.

"Runs through a condensing unit like a dehumidifier" It is a dehumidifier. It produces undrinkable water that requires purification to be potable and is dependant on high humidity to work.

I think they expect barry to sit there arguing with people at the door until they buy their units. I got hired to go door to door and lasted three days. Rather then have me learn about the product u would be selling so i can explain to a potential customer how it would benefit them the person training me was insisting on me learning a script. A few times i asked him to let me to try to sell to the people and he said no because i could not remember the script. On the day i left, i told him people do not care about the script. if they are going to purchase what I am pitching I need to be able to explain to them how this product is better than all other similar products. when i was working at Sears i would make a point to listen to what the customer says and try to find products that meet their needs. If you are looking for a tv so your kids can play video games you likely want a cheap 15in tv and not a 75in plasma tv with surround sound stereo just like if you are looking for a tv for your Sunday night football meetups with your friends a 15in tv will not cut it for you. When it came to suggesting peripherals i would simply suggest ones that would enhance what was being bought. It would be my goal to have the customer leave the store with what they bought and not have to return 30 days later to return it. Lets just say that I met my monthly quotas in the first weeks of each month. Sales is all about solving the problems of those who come to you.

[@benbaert2166]

This is like a triple scam. It's a simple dehumidifier that you can get cheaply anywhere, which is an inefficient way to produce water, promoted through a typical electrode scam trick, sold through a pyramid scheme. Oh, yes, and the distilled water that is being produced tastes terribly and is pretty bad for you. And, you don't need your whole filtration system. It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore. I'm somewhat surprised that there wasn't a stronger reaction from the dragons. This is the equivalent of a Nigerian prince and all they respond to is the pyramid scheme aspect. It was far worse than just that.

[@ccaagg]

+Ben Baert "It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore." Haven't you noticed that all dehumidifiers clearly instruct you *not to drink* the water they produce? There's a reason for that. It's not safe. Rainwater isn't safe either. *Condensed water isn't safe.* Ironically, this product is one of the better 'water from air' devices (which are all, make no mistake, effectively scams) since it actually does include a filtration system. From what I can gather from their pitch, the water is held under UV-C light which will immediately kill any bacteria meaning the water it outputs will be perfectly safe. Please don't comment on things you don't know about.
