Arid Home
A household's water, made from air.
Twenty liters of clean drinking water a day from a slim atmospheric water harvester that plugs into a standard outlet or a solar system. No well, no deliveries, no plumbing.
Contact for pricing. NGO and humanitarian discount available.
Demonstration unit. Production units carry the front tap and mechanical controls shown in the specs.
Demonstration unit at the factory. Production units carry the front tap, mechanical controls, and solid top described below.
Fill a glass. Or fill a tank.
A simple mechanical tap on the front fills bottles and pots. A threaded connection at the base feeds an external storage tank or through-wall plumbing, and the unit keeps producing while the tank fills, so a day's output is never capped by the internal reservoir.
The outlet you already have. Or the sun.
Plug into any standard 120V outlet, or run it from a solar array with the same output. Power draw is about 0.85 kW while producing, roughly one kilowatt-hour per liter. On solar, a household's drinking water costs close to nothing to run.
Cleaner than most tap water.
Water is condensed from vapor, then passes multi-stage filtration before it reaches the tap. Factory testing measured about 20 TDS, close to distilled water and far below the tap water at the factory. Replace one filter core a year, $45, no tools.
Built for a porch, a job site, or a clinic yard.
The production configuration is made for outdoor duty: sealed panel seams and cable entries, a UV-stable exterior that shrugs off knocks and washdown, a solid top you can set things on, and sealed mechanical buttons with LED status lights in place of a touchscreen. Nothing glass, nothing fragile.

The Arid Home is a MOF-based atmospheric water harvester, sometimes called an atmospheric water generator. Figures reflect manufacturer testing at stated conditions. Output varies with temperature and humidity. Production data across 15 to 30% humidity is being compiled and will be published here.
