The AIR-igator draws water from the air for thirsty gardens

Description

At a time of severe water shortages and ever-hotter summers, conservation of water for gardens is increasingly important. But you can only collect rainwater when it’s raining. What about the rest of the time? The AIR-igator ingeniously solves this problem by collecting condensate from air conditioners, storing it and then automatically drip-watering. So, the hotter it gets, the more water your garden gets.

Given that a fairly efficient three-ton central air conditioning unit will produce as many as 15 gallons of water a day, the water conserved adds up fast. What’s more, because condensate from air conditioners is absolutely pure – with no chemicals or minerals – it’s ideal for use in micro-irrigation. This makes the AIR-igator perfect for xeriscaping, where a garden can, through a combination of appropriate plants and thoughtful landscaping, become entirely self-sufficient.
