It’s called a dehumidifier, they’ve been around forever. They do require humidity though. For $2000, I’d rather have a dehumidifier and boil & filter & save $1600 to spend on something more useful.

@@JamesBlue72 well, being stuck behind enemy line's in SoCal, we just don't get the humidity. I'd be better off boiling and filtering, and I was very fortunate to have found a perfectly good, distiller. I couldn't believe my eyes when I seen it at the Goodwill, for $10.oo bucks. I just need to buy some charcoal filters and I'm set.

I picked up a couple of dehumidifier units that run on peltier modules. Work decently. Definitely do have to filter and sterilize the water before use. This all in one unit is very interesting though. Thanks MP.

[@MagicPrepper]

Yea I also thought it was interesting.

[@andyh3446]

I rigged up a 21 gallon tank at the bottom of my central a/c units drainage tube. It produces about 20 gallons of distilled water every 24 hours. All I need to do is filter and boil for drinking purposes if needed. I use the water to water my trees daily using a cheap $15 submersible pump from harbor freight.

[@twspma3549]

The actual scientific issue is called dew point. I sold these 21 years ago until legal wrangling showed up. Temperature and humidity MUST be within 20 points of each other. Get some limestone blocks and store in your holding tank to prevent distilled water acidity.

[@AusbandHolistic]

I wouldn't use water from my dehumidifier. There is too much risk for contaminants I cannot get out. Plus how it's made. But this is pretty cool. Thanks for review!

[@AiAngel]

This thing is $1,600... It does 10 liters of water a day. There's a device I got for HALF the price that makes 10x more water though (seriously). Its an industrial dehumidifier. Abestorm LGR Commercial grade. 100 liters a day. Runs great on my Ecoflow Delta Pro. I just run the resulting water through a Berky. Besides, not all water you get would have to be pottable. You may wanna use it for washing. So it lets you filter the portion you wanna drink in a more sustainable way.

[@bobsblues9944]

MP , Another alternative for getting water is a FOG NET . Theyve been using these around the world with good success . Its a large somewhat fine net mounted on a tubular frame that has an angled gutter at the bottom that is connected to tubes or a hose . The net is mounted in the air and collects fog or dew , the moisture collects on the net and drips down into the gutter and then is taken away by the tubing or hose and into buckets . They are kind of hard to get ahold of in this country so ive looked into alternative types of material to use . From what I can tell it looks like garden shade cloth material should work but I havnt tried it yet . It would be a much more affordable way to go . Relief organizations are purchasing fog nets at extreme high prices to give away to third world places that dont have water like in Morocco . They are able to get enough water out of the air to grow crops for a whole village

[@marioluna4344]

My thoughts are I 100% like the idea of this product it is a great item to have as part of your preps however what I’m not onboard with is the overall cost for it. $2,000 for a dehumidifier with a UV light and water filtration, in my eyes. For us trying to prep and knowing not all of us have unlimited funds need to be smarter about where else we can spend that money on. You are correct that is not the most expensive item that preppers have in their preps but I believe it is not a reasonable purchase. The other items you mentioned was night vision and weapons. In my opinion those are reasonable because it’s not that easy to make yourself. Not a easy DIY project. I would be more comfortable to buy a large dehumidifier, then run that water through an in line three stage off grid water filtration system with an inline UV light at then end. Then once it gets through that put it through a Berkey just for piece of mind. Even with all that it would still be cheaper and if the dehumidifier breaks I can easily buy another one from any box store at a much lower price than if this item breaks and coughing up another $2,000. All these items will not last forever.

[@daniellapain1576]

47 litres a day at 1300 watts for $700 Canadian on a Costway dehumidifier on Amazon. I would build a tank (a barrel and a half a day would be the consideration needed for it.) with a UV light on it and filter it like a rain catchment system. The air filter wasn’t something that I considered but it’s a nice idea since it would mean cleaning the radiators less. I would also move the water switch into the tank. My system I was designing was considered with rain catchment in mind alongside it. The idea was to always have water anywhere on a camper since they usually have a tank built in. Another use for these types of systems is the advantage for devices that always need water to have their own tank that is always filled up by the air like a coffee machine or anything similar.

[@Ravespillo]

It's a super cool idea, that sticker shock though.

[@MagicPrepper]

It is expensive. It does what it says it will do which is great. But it is a purchase that has to be justifiable for sure.

[@andyh3446]

Capture your central a/c units water drainage if possible. For a about $50 in tubing, hoses, submersible pump and small tank you can gather 10 gallons a day easily when you're using your a/c. I am currently collecting over 20 gallons a day using this method. Way cheaper!

Many of us already have an air conditioner or a dehumidifier that we can use some tubing to collect water in a 5 gallon bucket. And to filter it all you need are some of those life straws. They last a very long time whenever the water is already crystal clear and all you’re doing is filtering out micro amounts of pollen and dust & low levels of bacteria. Just remember, if you are in a low humidity, dry area, like the desert in states like Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico West Texas, some parts of Oklahoma & California, none of these solutions will work for you because you don’t have the humidity. This product he’s advertising also will not work in a low humidity areas.

Do you have any idea of how many watt hours the unit uses over the course of 24 hours of your normal use?

[@MagicPrepper]

Well to play it safe, if it needs to be in constant water generation mode for 24 hours it would likely need about 6000 Wh. Now it does not use that level of energy consistently while the tank is full. But if you were relying on the water from it and it was constantly producing, then that is what you'd likely be looking at. However, since it's only using around 200W in my experience, if you could counteract that output with a decent solar panel setup, that might not require as high of a capacity.

[@lucienlessard7020]

You said it will work with a power bank. Will it work with the 4 patroit supply hand held power bank?

[@MagicPrepper]

Probably not. You need to at least have an output of over 245W and then it needs to be able to run for a minimum of 8 hours in my experience for decent production. That means you'd need around 2000 wH of battery capacity if you don't have any additional input from solar or another source coming in.

My portable AC does this & it's not an evaporative cooler. Very strange. But the water still needs to be purified.

[@campmansoutdoors6927]

Don't fall for this. $1200.00 dollars for the equivalent of a $250.00 dehumidifier?? They both do the exact same thing, pull water out of very humid air. The only difference is that one supposedly sterilizes and purifies the water! You can also filter and purify the water drained from a dehumidifier tank by running it through activated charcoal or for example pouring it in and through any jug that can hold a water filter in it like Zero Water, Brita, Pure or others. Now, if you don't want a cheap but usually large dehumidifier in your room, then sure, spend $1200 on this machine. However, it it was between $250 and $300, then I guess this machine would make sense due to it's size. Don't fall for this!!!

Ahh yes. Someone reinvented the dehumidifier. Again. Seems every couple of years people forget these have existed since refrigeration was invented.

[@warlockcommandcenter]

This thing is worthless when the power goes, without the grid you can’t produce enough water for one person. Without electricity from the grid.

[@MagicPrepper]

Well that's kind of the point. It works in tandem with alternate power sources. Solar power bank, gas generator or if the grid is up but the water system is down for some reason, then you're still good.

[@warlockcommandcenter]

@@MagicPrepper No your not because a refrigeration system is a high current draw and I’m using my Ecoflow’s to run deep freezers til I can jerk and dry ever ounce of beef pork and chicken I’m holding. Maybe in winter that ok but it’s also the lowest solar output of the year. I have a river flowing through my back yard 24/7. Further a water collecterwork best in high humidity, not so good in the desert of the south west. During the winter the humidity can be very dry in the area of 1-3% RH you realize that my grand mother washed and dry outdoors bed sheet on a line in the back yard.

Seriously dude. Clean your dehumidifier. Why would you want to live with that stuff being circulated in your space. The water generator is a nice toy for the wealthy, but seriously put your money into being able to produce the power to be able to run it, because most of your viewers probably don't have that, much less the funds to buy the rich people water machine.
