An innovative water-from-air device that guarantees a steady supply of fresh, great-tasting drinking
water extracted from the humidity in the air around you. The GENNY can produce up to 30 liters
(8 gallons) of drinking water per day, depending on the temperature and humidity levels. No need
to connect the device to water pipes; all that’s needed is an electric power socket.
The water production process is based on innovative, GENius patent-protected technology. GENNY’s
unique air filtration process is designed to operate in residential environments. GENNY produces
cold, as well as hot drinking water.
The state-of-the-art, multi-stage water purification system ensures that the GENNY delivers the
highest quality drinking water. GENNY provides an eco-friendly, sustainable drinking water solution
by creating a new source of fresh drinking water from air, and eliminating the need for single use
plastic bottles and water coolers, thus reducing carbon footprint.
