Atmospheric Water Systems donate 102 water generators to Feed the Children

10 December 2009

The Dewpointe atmospheric water generators, donated through the Maulhardt Family Trust in conjunction with Atmospheric Water Systems, will be distributed internationally to Feed the Children’s offices and distribution centres

Despite the previlance of water shortages around the world, nearly 3.1 quadrillion gallons of free water are in the atmosphere every single day. Using dehumidification technology, Atmospheric Water System’s Dewpointe water generators extract this unlimited supply of moisture from the air, providing pure, fresh atmospheric drinking water.
 

Stephen Krauss, CEO of Atmospheric Water Systems Inc said: “Water is a key component for life, and Feed the Children's mission is to bring everyday necessities to children and families worldwide. The least we could do is provide them with pure, fresh drinking water at all their facilities. As we enter the season of thanks and giving, we are so happy to demonstrate our support for this amazing organization.”
 

The six US divisions of Feed the Children will each get one or two of the Dewpointe water generators for every day use. Feed the Children also plans to use the Dewpointe water generators primarily in its operations in Honduras, Central America and Africa.
 

Rick Trotter, Feed the Children's procurement manager said: “We are delighted with the units and the way it works. In our part of the country and where we located the unit in the corporate office, our average humidity and temperature isn't ideal, yet the unit still provides enough fresh, wonderful tasting water for our office. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that needs a source of good, clean wonderful tasting water over bottled water any day.”
