NEW OLD IDEA. “At Tsunami Products, we design and build machines that extract water from humidity in the air — efficiently and economically.”
How might this technology help us on the Coastside?
Pescadero Schools have no potable water. Right now student drink water from plastic bottles. How can that be in 2022?
Their County Service Area No. 11 (CSA 11) water system serves 90 residents, but not the schools. Tsunami products are designed for solar power and Pescadero would have space for that. Only $30k for the Tsunami-500 (not including solar panels) to produce 8 gallons per hour.

1. Air Intake
Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) extract water from humidity in the air. Moist ambient air is pulled into the Tsunami® unit by fans. A multi-layer air filter removes dust, pollen, and other airborne particles.
2. Water Extraction
Next, the air is drawn through a series of condensing coils, where water vapor is cooled down sufficiently to reach the dew point. This converts water vapor into droplets. Additionally, all Tsunami® units use Tsunami Core Technology™ — a special patented extraction chamber with a range of features that force water condensation — resulting in greater output. Water is then extracted and collected into a storage tank.
Tsunami Core Technology™ and other proprietary improvements dramatically enhance the process of water extraction, allowing Tsunami® units to achieve great energy efficiency.
3. Water Filtration
The collected water is purified through a multi-stage filtration system, where all the possible impurities and pathogens are removed. At this point, water is completely pure and safe to drink. What’s more: unlike tap water, it’s chemical-free.
Tsunami-500
Medium-scale atmospheric water generator. The Tsunami-500 model, which stands about 7 1/2 feet and spans 3 1/2 feet wide and thick, is priced at roughly $30,000.
The unit is perfect for homes, offices, schools, hospitals, gymnasiums, cafés and restaurants, hotels and resorts, as well as other facilities.
Tsunami-500 delivers water right to your own storage reservoir, fridge and/or integrated ice-maker, on-sink dispenser, or another dispenser of your choice.
Water production rate:
0.5 – 7.8 gallons per hour
Physical dimensions: 42″ x 42″ x 98″ / 1 x 1 x 2.5 m (W x L x H)
Power source: Power Grid (Single phase) / Solar system (8000 watts).
Power consumption: 5.8-7.5 Kilowatts per hour — it varies depending on ambient conditions (air temperature and relative humidity).
Operating conditions: temperature 60-100°F, relative humidity 50-90%. The unit produces water as long as the dew point is above 50°F. The higher the dew point, the more water production can be expected.
