Device extracts water out of air

29 January 2020 Smart Home Automation

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Watergen launched its new water-from-air appliance, Watergen GENNY, and Watergen Solar GENNY, both of which were CES Innovation Awards honourees.

Watergen launched its first atmospheric generator in 2012 and its patented GENius heat-exchange technology has since been used to extract humidity from the environment and convert it into fresh water for cities, villages, commercial centres, schools, hospitals and more. Now Watergen has brought its mission to private consumers.

GENNY uses the GENius technology to generate up to 30 litres of water per day, giving users access to fresh hot or cold water, on demand, at their office or home. Eliminating the need for consumers to order ahead or store water jugs, the innovative system saves time and money, while also benefitting the environment by reducing the use of plastic bottles. Furthermore, because the water is purified using a physical, chemical, microbiological and mineral treatment, it is of higher quality than that provided by municipal water pipes.

For ultimate convenience, GENNY is IoT friendly and can be managed via Watergen’s mobile app, which provides consumers with information about water availability, water consumption, appliance health/ maintenance needs and more.

Entirely independent from electricity, Solar GENNY is powered by solar panels. Offering all the same advantages as GENNY, it is ideally suited to use in remote locations, rural villages, parks and green residential premises, where the electricity supply is unreliable or unavailable. Solar GENNY is able to generate up to 13,25 litres of water a day.
