WATERMILL

Water generation

As a first step, Element Four® has developed an affordable domestic appliance capable of extracting the moisture naturally present in atmospheric humidity. The result is a device that will provide pure drinking water from an unlimited supply of ambient air. Water is produced in a quantity designed to meet the daily requirements of a small family. Our products have the potential to change lives by eliminating the time and energy spent on a daily basis by billions of people worldwide to obtain a small supply of this life-sustaining substance. It may also save lives by eliminating exposure to severe health risks caused by ingesting contaminated water.

Our atmosphere water-generating technology that extracts water from moist ambient air has advanced to the point where it can continuously supply clean, healthy water at a reasonable cost. Considering the cost of running pipelines, public water filtration systems, or buying bulk clean water in the store, our technology is now competitive with established methods of providing clean drinking water. 

What is the WaterMill?

The WaterMill® is an atmospheric water collection device that condenses water vapor and purifies it.

The Mechanics of making water from air

An atmospheric condenser is a device able to extract moisture from ambient air. Using an air intake fan, warm air is drawn into the machine and flows toward a cooled coil that condenses the humidity into liquid form. This liquid is then sterilized by an ultraviolet light that kills bacteria. Afterward, a filtration system is used to remove solids from the water before the water is stored in a holding tank. The quantity of water produced is dependent on the relative humidity and temperature of the surrounding air. Current water generating technology is effective in a threshold of at least 15.5 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and at least 30% of relative humidity.

Power Source Compliance — on or off the grid

The WaterMill® system has been engineered to be as efficient as possible, compliant with any power source on or off the grid. Look for Element Four systems that run on solar or wind power in the near future.

  

Smart Technology

The WaterMill® is smart about more than just energy. Our innovative control system enables the WaterMill to adapt to changing conditions in every climate. It automatically adjusts airflow to maximize water production, thus minimizing power consumption. Water production is constantly monitored and controlled. The WaterMill displays temperature, humidity and water production, and it will tell you when it is time for service.

Here's how it works:

The system draws in moist, outside air through an air filter. The moist air passes over a cooling element, condensing the moist air into water droplets. This water is then collected, passed through a specialized carbon filter and is then exposed to an ultraviolet sterilizer, eliminating bacteria.

Once drinking water is created, it goes to the point of use devices in your home: your refrigerator, spigot, water cooler or backsplash dispenser.

Why Watermill?

Outdoor Location

Inside air is up to 70 times more polluted than outside air. The WaterMill is installed unobtrusively on the outside of your home, using outside air, so it won't dry out the air you breathe in your home. And don't worry if your outdoor air is less than pristine - even if you live in a crowded city, the Watermill's filtration system ensures your drinking water will be clean and free of toxins and bacteria - more pure than tap water or even spring water.

Energy Efficiency

The WaterMill is designed to minimize energy use. It's so efficient that producing one liter of water costs only three to four cents. Alternative bottled water systems typically cost ten cents per liter or more.

My Opinion:
This technology will help you to get an easy conservation of water because this technology will absorb the warm air that turns into a clean and fresh water that all of us can benefit.
It also helps to our health because, nowadays the water we drink is contaminated .
It gives us 100% purified drinking water, in  unlimited resources.
