ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATORS (AWGS) 1. AWG s extract moisture from the air through a condensation process, then purifies it, making 99.99% pure, healthy drinking water. 2. The air and water filtration systems remove particulate as small as 5 micron. Our patented ozone process, EnviroGuard, eliminates all micro-organisms, including all bacteria and viruses. 3. Certified lab tests verify that bacteria and viruses are absent and undetectable, exceeding EPA requirements. 4. Operating on standard 110v or 220v power, the AWG is extremely efficient and uses a minimal amount of energy to produce water. 5. The unit requires no plumbing, water lines or pipes and is easily installed Just Plug It In! 6. Driven by a microcomputer control system, the AWG will stop generating water when the tank is full. The control system will continue to monitor the water to keep it cool and pure. Every fifteen (15) minutes the EnviroGuard purification system will ozonate the water and circulate it throughout the system. 7. Drinkable Air s patented EnviroGuard system purifies the water, resulting in 99.99% pure, oxygen enriched water that is free of pharmaceuticals, hormones, bacteria and virus. 3
