It's a new machine, pretty good chance it's just disinfectant from the filters supposed to stop disease. Not nice stuff to drink, but I think likely nicer than after the machine is a few weeks old when the disinfectant is all washed off the filters and bacteria start growing on it because that happens to all dehumidifiers.

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.

@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.

@Gemma Saint Yup, had experience of Kirkby a few times. When I was a kid - the same xp - they just wouldn't leave. They did the old call to the boss thing too for a super special offer. Asked for recommendations of people they could then pester as they left. Then when I was an adult, I got a random call that I'd won a prize and they wanted to send around someone with my vouchers. I said 'It's Kirkby hoovers, isn't it? Don't bother. We have wood floors. She insisted. You should have seen the young lad's face when he turned up. I invited him anyway, gave him a drink (it was a hot day) and asked him about the job. He said it was the best he'd ever had (he was about 18), but he was driving his own car (no expenses), it was all commission only and all the same techniques as before." Scammers.

"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. In places it works, it costs more than municipal water supplies, in places with low humidity, it produces next to no water. The machine itself is a fraud.

[@WinstonSmith685]

Exactly. There's no way that machine running indoors for an hour would have condensed enough for four glasses of water.

[@Pallidum]

The electrode "test" is also a scam. It doesn't test anything, it just dissolves the rods into the water.

[@joelbadger9661]

Exactly! The water was preloaded, these DON'T WORK

[@MrGrumblier]

@@joelbadger9661 Well, they do work. I use a dehumidifier in my basement and it produces a constant trickle of water down my drain. They just don't work as advertised for creating potable water especially in places that would need the highly inefficient and expensive water.

[@Pallidum]

@@joelbadger9661 Nope. No need to preload any water. This is simple chemistry. One rod is steel, another is aluminium. As you pass a strong current through the rods, they undergo a process called galvanic corrosion. The discoloration is essentially rust in the water. This is a fraudulent "trick" commonly used by water filter salesmen to convince people that their water is bad when it is in fact perfectly fine.

[@badgerlord5390]

9:50 part of me always hears "my kids' inheritance would throw that back at you"

[@DaveC2729]

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.
