WaterPure International
Proposes U.S. Military Reconsider Flying in Millions of Bottles
of Water to Troops; Create Own Water with Atmospheric Water
Generators
Thursday April 3, 10:03 AM EDT
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Apr 03, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WaterPure
International, Inc. (WPUR) proposes U.S. military commands
reconsider flying in millions of bottles of water to the troops
and instead create their own water using Atmospheric Water
Generators (AWGs). An infantry squad encamped in a remote
area can plug an AWG into a portable generator, produce three
to five gallons of pure, safe, fresh, delicious drinking water
per day from the air around it, and no longer be totally dependent
upon having enough cases of drinking water on hand. The 93
lb. AWG from WaterPure International is approximately the
same size as a typical water cooler but does not require the
inverted five gallon bottle.
"Based on published reports, it seems as if everyone
in Iraq is dependent on the availability of bottled water.
No one drinks the tap water; it is considered contaminated
and has high salinity. Everyone relies on bottled water. It
makes sense to have some alternatives just in case there are
delays logistically. Instead of being relying on the availability
of such a critical resource, we are suggesting commanders
use our AWGs as the pure, safe, fresh, delicious drinking
water option for the ground troops," notes Paul Lipschutz,
Chairman of the Board, WaterPure International, Inc.
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.
