| Clean,
pure drinking water is needed throughout
the world and is quickly becoming the
most highly prized resource of all. However,
ninety-seven percent of the earth's water
is in the oceans. It is undrinkable and
is unusable for most culinary and commercial
purposes. Only three (3) percent
of the world's water is fresh.
Of this three percent, two-thirds is locked
in glaciers and polar ice caps. Of the
remaining one percent of the earth's water,
about half is located beneath the earth's
surface.
Rivers and lakes contain approximately
1/50th of one percent of the earth's water.
A significant portion of this fraction
has been contaminated by industrial civilization,
and much of the remaining "freshwater"
is severely polluted or biologically contaminated.
Unfortunately, this pollution has begun
to reach our underground water as well.
Continually, on any given day, more than
one-half of the earth's human population
is ill, with the majority of these cases
caused by waterborne contaminants.
The World Health Organization
of the United Nations estimates that eighty
percent of this illness
is caused by contaminated drinking
water. Many countries throughout
the world, not just third world countries,
have inadequate water treatment facilities,
or a complete lack of treatment facilities.
It is becoming clear that new technologies
are needed in every segment of the water
treatment industry: agriculture, horticulture,
food processing, industrial waste treatment,
public water supplies, and sewage treatment.
These systems must be environmentally-friendly
and rely on methods and processes that
are not chemically based.
BASIC
CONCEPT
Air2Water products are best described
as atmospheric water generators.
Air2Water water generating machines use
technology (developed and patented by
Worldwide Water, Inc.) that extracts pure
drinking water from the air. The machine
first pulls air through an electrostatic
filter removing 93% of all air borne particles.
As the machine collects the water it drops
into a collection tray and immediately
passes into Ultraviolet (UV)
light, where the water stays in contact
with UV rays for approximately 30 minutes.
This kills 99.9% of all germs
and bacteria in the water. The
water is then pumped through a sediment
screen into a 24 volt water pump, and
back through two (2) solid carbon
block 1 micron water filters,
NSF 53 approved, which removes
99.9% of any volatile organic chemicals(VOC's)
that may be in the water. It it also filtered
through our proprietary Ultrafiltration
(UF) with membrane pore size of
0.015 micron to remove virtually
all bacterian and common viruses. The
water then goes through a half calcite,
half GAC mineral additive where it is
then pumped into a reservoir tank. The
water is then recycled every hour through
the UV and back into the reservoir tank.
The water is then chilled or heated and
dispensed to the consumers.
The T16 dispenses water with suspended
solids more than 65 times
lower than the World
Health Organization (WHO) standard.
Turbitity is over 60 times lower than
the WHO standard and residual chlorine
is more than 100 times lower. Click

PRODUCT CLAIMS
Air2Water water T16 generating machines
produce between 8 and 38 Litres (2 to
10 gallons) of pure drinking water every
24 hours, depending on the model and relative
humidity in the air. Our countertop M18
model produces between 3 and 20 Litres
( 3 to 5 US gallons) per day and our T16
upright unit produces between 16 and 38
Litres (4 to 10 US gallons) per day, depending
on the humidity in the air. Electronic
sensors placed within, ensures that the
machine stops operation once the tank
is full.
These
generators also cleanse the air as they
produce water by using an electrostatic
air filter, which removes ninety percent
(93%) of all airborne particles.
Pure drinking water can be produced in
your own home and/or office. No more trips
to the store or carrying heavy jugs of
water. No more relying on service from
bottled drinking water companies. No more
big, bulky bottles to store. No more heavy
water bottles to change.
All Air2Water water generating machines
are energy and cost efficient. Studies
have been carried out to determine the
cost of producing water with Air2Water
water generating machines. Results
show that the units produce pure drinking
water at $ 0.04 to $ 0.13 per Litre.
These results are dependent upon location,
as electricity rates vary, along with
humidity and temperature. These variables
all factor into the cost of operation.
Our GURGLE F18 (point
of use) POU system is the world’s
first and only Utrafiltration (UF) membrane
POU device. It uses activated carbon and
UF filtration to provide the most pure
water available from a POU device connected
to a tap/faucet. One F18 cartridge can
effectively filter and purity up to 1000
liters (265 US gallons) of tap water.
Laboratory test results prove that water
filtered by the F18 is the most pure of
any tap water dispensed by POU other than
reverse osmosis. The F18 removes virtually
all known bacteria, common viruses and
colloidal silica. With a membrane
pore size of 0.015 micron, F18
can remove Bacteria such as cryptosporidium,
and viruses such as Rotavirus
and Poliovirus which
are a group of infectious agents ranging
in pore size from 0.025 to 0.075 micron
in diameter. The F18 dispenses water with
suspended solids nearly
15 times lower than the
World Health Organization (WHO) standard.
Turbitity is 55 times lower than the WHO
standard and residual chlorine is 25 times
lower.
Chemicals that are usually present in
normal tap and filtered tap water, such
as chlorine, and fluoride are not present
in the water produced by Air2Water water
generating machines. These chemicals are
usually added to the water by city and
county water departments. Research has
shown that too much chlorine contributes
to certain types of cancer. Studies on
fluoride in drinking water are inconclusive
as to the amount of good or harm caused.
We produce water of the highest quality
using all natural substances to filter
and purify, just as nature intended. We
have carefully researched and selected
the best natural minerals for our filtration
system. This not only results in great
tasting water, but water that is healthy
to drink.
