Anyone have one or know of someone who has one??? Very interesting concept coastal states with high humidity they are very effective.

Interesting....seems pricey but hooking up to city water isn't cheap either....Here, we can drive a well and get water at 10-12 feet ..but most wells are drilled deep cause the shallow wells are often contaminated.

I have city water in front of the house, but to hook up and pay to run it into the house would be over 20g.....so I'm good with my shallow well....lol

We have laws here, if you’re in so many feet from a water main. You have to hook up, you can’t put in a well!!! Even in the country.

Hookup does mean you have to use any I would guess. This is an option for rural setting where a well needs to be drilled. They work any place and every state in the US. To drill a well is costly in most of the US with 250 to >1000 foot wells.

I wonder what the cost per gallon to run it is. A well might be cheaper over its live time if you figure in operation costs to. Especially in areas with less humidity.

Apparently you can power it with solar...not sure how it would work in below freezing conditions being it's outside

We got a well for lawn sprinklers, fur and Bait making shed on well water.

House is on community water.

14 foot well and never pulled it dry yet, we have had our house 28 year.
Down in the valley 's here got good water, up in the hills they haul water.
Right by 2 rivers come together here close to our house.


Let me sugar coat this

That 66 gal a day one costs about 5 to 7$ a day to run on electricity. A seasonal place with deep water it would viable option to H2O. In northern winters where things freeze up they are not recommended.

I have a couple shallow wells too. Both close to rivers and cricks in bottom valley ground also. Just for livestock and garden/lawn watering only.

"We recommend you use a storage tank to stockpile water, and then have a second source lined up for times you have increased water demand or dry months of the year. Contact a rep to build out your family’s specific annual water strategy".

Above is from their website. Water storage, means you would have to keep it clean and disinfected. Which isnt as easy as it sounds. A pump would be needed for water pressure. This is mildly interesting, but something that I'd run from. If you ever tried to sell a home without a well, it would scare the crap out of most people. Drill the well, buy once and cry once.
