What is atmospheric water generation?
Atmospheric water generation uses technology to produce potable water from surrounding air. It can provide an alternative source during shortages, contamination events, natural disasters, and public-water infrastructure failures.
How does the AIRIS system work?
AIRIS condenses moisture from the air into water, then passes it through its purification and filtration process to produce drinking water.
What conditions are needed to produce water?
The product information states that AIRIS can produce water at relative humidity as low as 25%, including in an air-conditioned room. Actual production depends on temperature and relative humidity.
How is the machine installed?
No plumbing installation is required. Keep the machine upright and connect it to electrical power. Initial water production can take several hours depending on humidity.
How energy efficient is AIRIS?
The provided specifications state average energy use of approximately 0.3 to 0.5 kWh per liter of water produced. Energy use varies with operating conditions and water-production demand.
Is the water intended for drinking?
The product information states that AIRIS uses multi-stage purification and filtration, ultraviolet sterilization, water circulation, and added natural minerals to produce drinking water.
What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance consists primarily of general cleaning and filter replacement. AIRIS includes a filter-change warning, and the source material lists approximately 12 months for air-filter and ultrafiltration-system life.
