Water Generating Systems has authorized product development partner, Trident Maritime Systems – IMECO Division, to commence initial development of the WGS 100 residential units.
Trident Maritime Systems will concentrate initial efforts on the development of the Stand Alone AWH Unit. This single, enclosed unit will be situated outside the home with plumbing into the home for potable usage (i.e., drinking water and food preparation usage). It will include a water purification and storage system that can be integrated into the home plumbing system. At ambient air temperature of 80°F and 60% relative humidity, the WGS-100 will generate 50 gallons of pure potable water daily.
WGS expects to begin production of the unit later this year.
