Clean water for the world



Care for a drink?

Although water covers ~70% of the Earth's surface, 97.2% of it is saline.1 Much of what remains is unsuitable for drinking because of the presence of chemical or biological contaminants.2

WaterSeer produces clean, safe water by condensing it from the humidity in the air – up to 37 litres (8.1 UK gal, 9.8 US gal) of pure water per day, with no electric or fossil fuel energy, or emissions.
