A distributor in Bermuda is bringing to the Island a new household appliance that dehumidifies and turns the captured moisture into drinkable water.

The WaterPure Atmospheric Water Generator takes moisture from the atmosphere and through a condensation process transforms it into "absolutely pure, healthy drinking water," according to the Florida-based company.

The device runs on domestic household electricity supply and, depending on the local electricity costs can create a gallon of drinkable water for around eight cents. The unit requires no plumbing, water lines, pipes and is easy to install, according to WaterPure.

Distributors of the atmospheric water generators have been approved in Bermuda as well as Greece, Nigeria and the Cayman Islands. There is also a tri-state regional distributor for the US states of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

At present the identity of the Bermuda distributor is not known. A spokesperson for WaterPure said the distributor of the unit in Bermuda had asked for their identity to remain undisclosed at this time.
