A Florida company is selling a product line it calls "the
water cooler of the future."
WaterPure International's "atmospheric water generators"
require no giant glugging jugs of water, no plumbing and no chemicals,
the company says. The coolers themselves generate water —
from thin air.
Ft. Lauderdale-based WaterPure touts the coolers as a way for
companies to provide clean, filtered water without the hassle
of reordering (and later mounting) heavy, multigallon jugs of
water.
The coolers also serve a security purpose, WaterPure says, by
lessening the need to admit deliverymen to company facilities
— nuclear power plants, for example.
WaterPure's coolers sell for $1,350 to $1,750, depending on the
model.
The coolers condense water directly from the air around them and
can produce 5 to 10 gallons of chilled or heated water per day,
WaterPure says. Computer controlled, the coolers stop generating
water when full.
