EcoloBlue 30 Series AWG Water Cooler
How the Atmospheric Water Generator Works
The Atmospheric Water Generator is a humidity and temperature-driven Appliance. This means the
Appliance’s ability to generate water depends entirely on the level of humidity and atmospheric tem-
perature. To achieve optimum performance, the indicated relative humidity should be at least 50% or
more. In regions with lower humidity levels, the Appliance will produce water at a slower rate and with
less volume than that of a higher humidity environment. In a residential environment, higher levels of
humidity tend to be found in kitchen areas, near bathrooms used for bathing, near open windows (in
warmer weather), or in more spacious rooms.
This unit also performs well in an air-conditioned room or homes. Because air-conditioning reduces
relative humidity, it is recommended to open the window at night to increase the humidity in the room.
Because the Atmospheric Water Generator works by converting humidity in the air to water, this unit
also acts as an effective dehumidifier. To ensure high quality of the drinking water produced, the Atmo-
spheric Water Generator utilizes multiple filtration technologies (see below).
When the air is dry and cold, water generation may become slow and inefficient. It is recommended
that the Appliance be connected to a municipal water supply allowing the Appliance to serve as a water
purifier using its filtration system.
Key features of the Atmospheric Water Generator
