After just returning from a successful business trip to Gaborone, Botswana, the Directors of Water-X (Pty) Ltd Linda and Andrew Hoyle look set to exhibit at the forthcoming Sustainable Water Resource Conference and Exhibition being held at the CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria on the 27th and 28th July 2010. It is intended to introduce to the public the groundbreaking technology of the new Hurricane HR-88CR(B) Atmospheric Water Generating machine.

Due to the environmental impact that global warming has had on the world, the increase of the average temperature on earth, and disasters like Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Droughts and floods are more frequent. Many people are suffering, the body can survive around 30-40 days on average without food, BUT it can only survive around 3 days without WATER. Water is becoming more of a scarcity daily, and our drinking water supplies are often contaminated and undrinkable. In fact United Nations Development Program Director General, Klaus Toepfer has stated that a future war over Water is a distinct possibility, as tensions over water will increase as scarcity increases.

The Directors of Water-X have helped develop a machine that harvests fresh pure drinking water from the atmosphere especially for the African market. There is an abundance of water all around us, and most people are oblivious to it. When looking for pure safe drinking water, they dig bore holes, look for mountain springs and even desalinating sea water to drink, it is a fact when looking for water, everyone looks down to try to find water. It is time to start looking UPWARDS to Atmospheric Drinking Water! Facts state that there is over 3.4 quadrillion gallons of water in our atmosphere at any one time, harvesting drinking water from the atmosphere is sustainable and the natural solution.

Andrew Hoyle states, the many benefits of the Hurricane HR-88CR(B) Atmospheric water generating machine is incredible, because the machine does not need any water source whatsoever to function and make good quality drinking water. Depending on the level of humidity in the atmosphere and the temperature, the Hurricane can make up to 30 liters of 99.9% pure drinking water. The Hurricane pulls the moisture out of the ambient air when being drawn into the machine, this is similar to that of a dehumidifier, and through a process of filters, UV lights and reverse osmosis, turning the water into 99.9% pure clean drinking water. A lot of people are hesitant to the word ‘reverse osmosis’ due to the fact that this eliminates 99.9% of all contaminants/minerals, in this case, the hurricane has a mineral filter attached directly after the RO (Reverse Osmosis filter) to put back essential minerals into the water that are required by the human body to function correctly. During the process of removing the moisture, the air is cleaned and passed back through into the room in which it stands and people with allergies can benefit from this also.

Atmospheric Water Generators are not new technology, it has been around for some time, but because of the African climate, the technical specifications have been changed to make water at lower temperatures and lower humidity levels, making this the ideal machine, and people can now produce their own drinking water and know with confidence how safe and pure it is to drink. Water-x (Pty) Ltd is the first in the market to have the Invertor Compressor which is reliable and cost effective and saves around 25-30% energy costs. Plus on similar types of water generators the dew point is normally around 20 °C to produce water, the Hurricane has a dew point of only 14 ° C in order to make good quality drinking water.

Water-X will be exhibiting at stand Nr. 3 at the Sustainable Water Resource Exhibition and Conference on the 27th/28th July at the CSIR Convention Exhibition Centre, Pretoria.
