Is fountain water different from regular or bottled water?
The water produced by ATMO fountains is equivalent to the best water on earth. With no industrial process, it does not stagnate and remains pure. Its pH, like its taste, is neutral and its composition is limited to H2O. Air Water Africa is your best source of pure water.
How can I be sure that the water produced by the unit is fit for consumption?
The water that is generated by our fountains passes through a succession of 7 filters that remove matter and particles as fine as 0.01 micron. When it comes out, it is 99% pure.
What are the health benefits?
Thanks to our numerous filtration processes, the atmospheric water generator produces the best quality drinking water available today. Not only is it pure, it is free of contaminants, which is beneficial to your health.
The multiple filtration process, reverse osmosis and UV treatment eliminate viruses, bacteria, pesticides and heavy metal contaminants. Rich in oxygen, it helps improve your body’s metabolism.
How long does the water stay in the tank?
Bacteria do not grow quickly in pure, fresh water. Each of our fountains prevents build-up by performing regular cycles, keeping the water fresh and pure, ready to drink at all times.
Does the machine overflow when it's full?
Our units have a central computer that can stop production when the tank is full. Should a leak accidentally occur, the sensor would automatically force the unit to shut down.
Is it difficult to install?
All our products are self-contained, they do not require plumbing, pipes or hoses. A simple connection to the network (if necessary) and an electrical outlet is all that is needed.
For the rest, the touch screen informs you about air temperature, humidity level, water level and when to change the filters.
What are the energy requirements?
Depending on their performance, our units operate on 220 or 380 Volts and can be adapted to the standards of any country in the world.
On request, we can also couple them with a photovoltaic solution to deliver a fully autonomous, economical and environmentally friendly tool.
When to change the filters in a fountain?
The filters will have to be changed, every 12 to 18 months, depending on the quality of the air (for ATMO) or water (for HYDRO) at the source. A message will appear on the control screen. However, you can provide a spare stock, a few cartridges to be replaced, most of the time done by the owners with ease.
The air filter (for ATMO) should also be checked once a month and changed if necessary.
What are the climatic conditions for proper operation?
Ideally, the minimum level of humidity is 30%, with most parts of the world not falling below this level. Water production is lower where humidity is reduced. In the case of a lower climate, a humidifier in front of the unit will boost your humidity and thus increase your supply of pure water.
Is there enough water in the air to quench my thirst?
An estimated 117 quadrillion (117 followed by 24 zeros) Litres of water are available in the atmosphere. It is the second largest source of water after the oceans (which have the disadvantage of being salty) and it is now possible to exploit it. These are the same molecules as rainwater or snow, so you participate in the water cycle in nature.
What is UV filtration?
Exposure to Ultraviolet rays will destroy viruses and bacteria as well as certain organic contaminants without altering the taste or smell of the treated water.
