Step into any home-improvement store and you’ll see a smorgasbord of “eco-friendly” labels—it’s easy to take a cynical attitude toward this profusion of promises. As “green” has gone mainstream, it’s become tough to tell the true contenders from the impostors.
We’ve sifted through hundreds of products to bring you the innovations that lighten your home’s impact on the planet in a measurable, meaningful way, like Element Four’s WaterMill, a dehumidifier that leaves you with potable water.
WaterMill helps ease water shortages by pulling moisture straight out of the air. Engineered for muggy outdoor environments or humid indoor rooms, the wall-mountable WaterMill constantly adjusts to the ambient dew point. As with most dehumidifiers, fans pull in air, then the water vapor within condenses as it flows across metal coils. But then, the condensation passes through a carbon filter, and ultraviolet light sterilizes it. Each WaterMill can produce up to 12 liters of potable water per day.
That is the coolest thing, I have seen in a while. What does something like that cost. We have tons of humidity in Florida.
