Atmospheric Water Generators is a technology-based process used to condense water from the air, then capture moisture and filter it into drinkable, pure and clean water.
Air Water Machine products collect water from humidity in the atmosphere. This air is chilled to the “dew point” and the moisture is condensed onto patented, specially food-grade coated coils, then purified by advanced filtration system to provide a reliable source of clean drinking water. This technology enables significant amounts of water to be extracted from the air and purified efficiently at a relatively low cost per liter or gallon.
Our technology will produce clean water effectively and economically from the air with humidity as low as 35%. Optimal water generation depends on average temperature and relative humidity. Higher humidity and temperature conditions improve the cost effectiveness of producing clean water.
All FIRSTH2O models use electricity as standard design, but Solar-Powered or Wind-Powered or Diesel Generators combined can be selected as Optional source of energy can be selected and tailored-manufactured.
The residential from 15L/D to 60L/D, for use in the home and office, uses 550 watts of electricity.
The Commercial Atmospheric Water Generators are three-phase electrical power; the unit can be easily integrated into the existing electrical utility system.
In a word, normally average consume 1KWH electricity to produce 2 liters of water at 30℃ ambient temperature and 80% humidity level.
FIRSTH2O Atmospheric Water Generator units are designed to operate continuously and only require modest periodic maintenance consisting of filter changes and general cleaning.
For the commercial and community products, we are designing have an option of remote monitoring via internet service that allows for predicting scheduled maintenance and monitoring of key operational parameters of the equipment.
Air filters should be replaced four to six times a year depending on local atmospheric conditions. Water filters should be replaced two to four times per year depending on the model in service. These cartridges take only minutes to replace using an automated system shutdown feature. Typically no compressor maintenance is required.
We have warranties that provide replacement of defective parts for up to one year (excludes regular maintenance items such as filters) and two years warranty on compressor from purchasing date.
Dirty intake air filters need to be cleaned and water filters that need to be replaced. The units have safety features that will prevent damage to the units from operating in temperatures above 44 C (111 F) or in freezing temperatures.
Our technology will work anywhere with a temperate climate and moderate to high humidity. Our systems do not need the weather fronts and mountain ranges which usually produce rainfall.
The air quality does not affect the taste of the water for a number of reasons.
The water is filtered through one air filter and 5-stage filters.
We have a pre-carbon and post-carbon filter; these two filters are specially designed to remove odours and nasty taste for the water.
Our TCR carbon filters are used to provide elements and minerals for human body, raise pH level to light alkaline, improve taste.
Recommended Timing for Filter Replacement (It might be verified according to different water consumption.
The timing below is based on 10 liters water consumption per day.):
- LF2 zeolite + active carbon :1-2 months(ammonia removal）
- Pre-carbon filter: 3-6 months
- Post carbon filter : 6-9 months
- RO membrane : 15-24 months
- TCR carbon filter: 6-9 months
- PPF or Zeolite+active carbon: 9-12 months
- UV light bulb 12 months or upon UV fault warning
Note:
The above recommended service timing is for reference only.
After a long period of service, we recommend that you replace the filters to ensure that your unit will always produce the cleanest and purest drinking water effectively.
The filters needing to be replaced are easily identified on the digital operational indicator located on the unit so there is no guess work! There is a filter exchange indication for each individual filter on the digital indicator which shows the exchange term of each filter.
Yes, the water is pure, safe and clean, as well as great tasting. Water that is produced starts out cleaner as it is the vapor/humidity in the air that we breathe, rather than dirty, contaminated ground water that needs to be purified. The filtration system is efficient and extremely effective and utilizes multiple safeguards as well as Ultra Violet lights to eradicate any bacteria. Worldwide Water test reports are available to be convinced.
Once the reservoir is filled, the machine will stop making water and will begin to make water once the level begins to drop.
Not at all. Water is constantly evaporating into the air. We condense humidity every day using dehumidifiers and air conditioning systems in buildings and cars, and that moisture is returned to the atmosphere when it evaporates.
There is no plumbing required for the Unit. Just plug it into a mains socket and it’ll be ready to produce pure and clean drinking water. However for areas with humidity level below 30% humidity and in very cool temperate climates there is an option for dual usage where the unit can be connected to an external source for a continuous supply of purified drinking water.
The indicator for acidity or alkalinity is known as the pH value. A pH value of 7 means a substance is neutral; water with a pH lower than 7 is considered acidic and with a pH greater than 7 ,water is considered alkaline. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5. The range in a Firsth2o AWG is 6.5 to 7.5 as light alkaline.
Multi-Stage Filtration System
Our dedication to providing high-quality, great tasting water to our consumers is accomplished by our unique multi-stage filtration system. It can remove odor and infectant.
1.1. Anti-static patented air-filter:
Before air become water drop through condensation, the air must go through anti-bacterial air filter to filter out dust particles and effectively block dust in the air from entering the machine.
1.2. LF2 zeolite + active carbon filter at the bottom tank:
This device can remove organic compound, dust and large particles in the air. It can also reduce ammonia level in the water.
1.3. Sediment filter: Remove micro particles to protect RO booster pump.
1.4. Multi stage filtration system:
Our filter system not only can produce light alkaline water with pH between 7.2-7.8 but also producing tasteful purified water with mineral which bring health to our body.
1.4.1. Pre-carbon filter
Remove organic compounds, odor, free chlorine, heavy metal, etc.
1.4.2. Post carbon filter
Further remove any color, odor, heavy metal, organic compound and chlorine, at the same time
Protecting the RO membrane from chlorine and thus extend the life span on the RO membrane.
1.4.3. RO membrane
To remove micro impurity,colloid,heavy metal,soluble solids,bacteria and other harmful substances.
1.4.4. TCR carbon filter
Provide elements and minerals for human body, raise pH level to light alkaline, improve taste.
Ultraviolet Sterilization System
The proprietary ultraviolet lamp treats the water for sterilization to ensure that all bacteria and microorganism are eliminated. Sterilization process is controlled by microcomputer automatically.
- Top tank UV device: Eliminate bacteria grow in top tank, reduce bacteria level to minimal.
- Cool water out UV device: Eliminating bacteria from dispensing tubing. To ensure water is safe to drink.
- Bottom tank UV device: Eliminate bacteria grow in bottom tank, reduce bacteria level to minimal.

- Unit performance and maintenance needs can be monitored remotely by FIRSTH2O water Unit. (Commercial and community models only).
Our units will work as long there is humidity in the air but production does drop off significantly at the 35-37% humidity.
The good thing about humidity, it tends to go up and down in cycles.
Eg. Some areas in some countries, the humidity in the morning is around 18% but hit 80% by lunch and stays at 80% till the late evening.
