Life cannot exist without water. All forms of life, depends upon water for their survival. 60-70% of the human body is comprised of water. Since time immemorial, civilizations have been developed in and around sources of drinking water. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Indus valley and Aztecs, to name a few, bear testimony to this. Battles have been fought over the control of such areas.

From the dawn of civilizations, Man has implemented several ways of procuring pure drinking water – these often correspond with the scientific and technological breakthroughs of the time. It may surprise most of us to know that water treatment methods like boiling and straining, using charcoal filters were practiced in 4000 B.C. In 1500 B.C., men discovered that they could use alum to purify water.

Filtration became a popular mass water purification system by the early years of the 20th century. This was, of course, before mankind realized that filtration only removed the insoluble impurities, while leaving the more harmful soluble impurities untouched. The cholera, typhoid, and dysentery epidemics proved beyond doubt that these harmful elements remained in water that seemed pure and drinkable. Thankfully, the disinfecting powers of substances like chlorine were discovered soon after, which then became the preferred methods to purify water.

Presently, chlorine came to be widely used in Europe and America for providing pure drinking water for everyone. Its pungent odor, however, caused scientists to research further on more viable methods of water purification. During the 70s and 80s, these researches led to the discovery of processes like reverse osmosis and ozonization.

Today, the methods to obtain pure drinking water are found aplenty. If you have the money, then you can get bottled water even in the middle of the great Sahara deserts. However, the fact remains that we have had to pay huge prices for the rapid growth of civilization that we boast of. We have poured huge amount of toxic chemicals into our rivers and belched out noxious gases into the atmosphere. The very rainwater, which was once the purest form of water, is full of impurities in most parts of the world. As a result, the cost of drinking water purification is steadily rising.

Breakthrough technology that “creates” pure drinking water from the atmosphere, along with a four-stage SLO FLO water filtration system is the answer to the need for low-cost drinking water. It does so by condensing atmospheric moisture, and passing it through several filtration processes to create 99.99% pure drinking water. The patented continual water recirculation filtration system ensures a continual zero bacteria count, providing water that is free from chemicals and microbes, and 1000 times purer than any other purified water.

Thus, this provides a cost-effective method of procuring pure drinking water from air – since it uses atmospheric water; it is almost 40% less expensive than bottled water, which works out to $0.50 per gallon. Thus, you can now have a steady supply of pure drinking water anywhere in the world.
