Ⅴ. HOW IT WORKS?

It is important to be aware that your Atmospheric Water Generator is a humidity and temperature driven machine. This means the machine totally depends on the level of humidity in the air and the temperature to produce water. Ideally, the humidity level should be at least 50% or above to achieve the machine’s optimum performance. In places with lower humidity level, the machine will still produce water but not as quickly, nor as much as in places with high level of humidity. In the house environment, higher level of humidity tends to be around the kitchen area, near an open window or in more spacious rooms.

This unit also performs well in an air-conditioned room, but it is recommended to open the window at night to make the room ventilated.
Because your Atmospheric Water Generator works by converting the humidity in the air to water, this unit also acts as an effective dehumidifier. In areas with high humidity, it not only acts as a good water generator, but also a perfect dehumidifier to keep you healthy and ensure your home appliances a long service time.

To ensure high quality of drinking water, the Atmospheric Water Generator is utilizing multiple filtration technologies.
When the air is dry or during cold season, water generation will be slow. At this moment, connection to city water will make the machine serve as water purifier by utilization of the filtration and sterilization system.
