It is no secret that our planet is running out of water. And while there are many reasons why this is happening, some companies today are focusing not on the past and how we got here – but on the future, and what can happen next. In short, they are working to solve the water crisis that exists in the world. And with exciting new technology, Aquaphant has created a device that can create gallons of drinking water out of thin air per day.
Aquaphant is a groundbreaking technology company that has created a system to convert moisture from the air into drinkable water. Led by founder Cody Mullenaux and CEO Steve Wolf, Aquaphant is an affordable water creation system that can easily fit into an existing home or office, giving people near-instant access to drinking water at any time of the day. It is a device that is poised to not only change daily life as we know it, but to potentially solve key water shortage crises around the world.
The system works similar to a dehumidifier, drawing moisture out the surrounding air and pulling it into the machine. From there, Aquaphant takes the moisture through a careful filtration process, eliminating trace elements and polluted particles from the water. As it moves through the filters, the water fills a three-gallon container, delivering clean drinking water on-demand. Not to mention their AQ.2 atmospheric water generator first is a high quality HEPA air purifier.
The company’s technology uses an electrochemical reaction to convert water vapor into liquid form using only electricity and air humidity. The process produces no waste products or emissions, consumes less energy than many other methods for producing fresh drinking water from air and sea saltwater, and does not require any additional chemicals used by other technologies for desalination making it both environmentally friendly and cost effective.
In addition to their affordable water generation system, Aquaphant is developing a mobile unit that will allow travelers and commuters to fill reusable water bottles as they drive. Called the “Hydration Station,” the mobile unit is designed to fit into a vehicle’s cup holder, drawing the moisture out of the car and producing a full 18 to 22-ounce bottle of drinking water, ready to go in a steel bottle from the Aquaphant that will be located within the comforts of your own car.
This invention has the potential to not only produce water on demand but to significantly decrease consumer consumption on disposable plastic water bottles – products that generate millions of pounds of waste each year. It will also be connected to existing technologies, allowing consumers to track consumption and health metrics on the go.
“We are creating what we call our Halo Bottle, which is a bottle that goes into the Hydration Station and fills from the bottom up – and then we will have a native iOS app that tracks everything from plastic water bottles saved to hydration levels and connects to your Apple Health and tells you how much water you are drinking,” Wolf says.
Over time, Wolf foresees Aquaphant becoming a part of everyday life for consumers, allowing them to drink more water, live a healthier lifestyle, and remove harmful plastic bottles from the environment.
“The idea is to create an entire ecosystem, where we believe the Halo Bottle will become almost like an extension of you,” Wolf says. “You might have one in the car that fills up, one next to your bed, in the kitchen, in the office. That is our big idea.”
For now, consumers can purchase the water generation system, which is set for an official launch in the coming months. And as Aquaphant continues to grow with new and improved technologies, it will not be long before each household has access to convenient, safe, and clean drinking water.
