Are Atmospheric Water Generators?

An atmospheric water generator (AWG) is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air. Water vapor in the air can be extracted by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, or pressurizing the air. Unlike a dehumidifier, an AWG is designed to render the water potable.

How long do atmospheric water generators last?

With proper maintenance Skywater machines can operate for several years. Comparable to the life of a car or major appliance, the Skywater atmospheric water generator should last from 10 -15 years. There are very few moving parts. The lifespan of the machines will depend primarily on the maintenance of the compressor.

Are atmospheric water generators bad for the environment?

Atmospheric water generation does not disturb the global water supply. Since air is an unlimited resource, atmospheric water generation poses little to no environmental burden. The AWGs developed in the past two decades successfully generate water without any connections to existing water sources.
