WaterPure International
Offers AWGs to Fight Hydrological Poverty; Suggests UN Test
AWGs in Global Regions Suffering Water Shortages
Thursday April 10, 9:30 AM EDT
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Apr 10, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WaterPure
International, Inc. (WPUR) management team proposes its Atmospheric
Water Generators (AWGs) be used in the fight against hydrological
poverty. Worldwatch Institute describes hydrological poverty
as the effect of population growth on water-short countries
sentencing millions of people to water-shortage poverty difficult
to escape. WaterPure suggests that the United Nations should
test some AWGs in those global regions suffering the most
from water shortages and water rationing. AWGs from WaterPure
are water-cooler type devices that extract moisture from the
atmosphere through a condensation process transforming the
moisture into three to five gallons of absolutely pure chilled
or heated healthy drinking water each day.
"Hydrological poverty is very real in today's world.
I have instructed my team to contact the U.N. and offer to
set AWGs in water-short regions to provide drinking water
for the townspeople. A single AWG unit should generate more
than enough pure clean drinking water for one person. When
a number of AWGs are used, they can be expected to further
help the situation," notes Paul Lipschutz, Chairman of
WaterPure International.
About Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs)
Depending on local electricity costs, a gallon of WaterPure
fresh and delicious drinking water in its purest form costs
about 8 cents to produce. The AWG extracts moisture from the
atmosphere through a condensation process and transforms it
into absolutely pure, healthy drinking water. Multiple air
and water filtration systems remove particulate matter smaller
than .01 microns. Utilizing high intensity UV (ultra violet),
it eliminates any microorganisms including bacteria and viruses.
Test results of WaterPure water measured 99.9% purity, far
exceeding EPA requirements. Operating on standard 110v power
in the USA, it is extremely efficient and uses a minimal amount
of energy to produce water. The unit requires no plumbing,
water lines, or pipes and is easily installed. Driven by a
microcomputer control system, it will stop generating water
when full. The WaterPure purification system employs special
filters to remove any unpleasant tastes or odor that may be
present in the air.
