Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG)?
An Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) is a device that extracts water from the moisture in the air using advanced condensation technology. VayuJal AWGs transform atmospheric humidity into clean, safe drinking water without relying on traditional water sources.
- How much water can a VayuJal Atmospheric Water Generator produce daily?
A single VayuJal machine produces 43 to 3,500 litres of drinking water per day, depending on the model and on air temperature and humidity. For larger sites, multi-unit installations can be designed to deliver 50,000+ litres per day. VayuJal Home makes up to 43 L/day, Plus up to 170 L/day, Ultra 485 L/day (up to 580 L/day in favourable climate), Grand up to 1,800 L/day and Max up to 3,500 L/day. VayuJal Ultra Pure Water makes up to 3,000 L/day of 0–1 ppm water from a single unit.
- Is the water generated safe for drinking?
Yes. Water passes through a multi-stage purification system including ozonation, UV sterilisation, ultrafiltration and mineralisation, meeting the Indian drinking-water standard IS 10500:2012 and WHO guidelines. VayuJal can also produce water to IS 14543 (packaged drinking water) and supplies FSSAI-compliant bottled water made from air.
- What are the ideal conditions for an AWG to operate?
VayuJal AWGs perform best in environments with:
- Humidity: Above 22% for optimal performance.
- Temperature: 20°C–44°C.
While they work in a wide range of conditions, water production decreases in very low humidity or cold climates.
- What is the power consumption of a VayuJal AWG?
Power consumption varies by model, but VayuJal AWGs are designed to be energy-efficient. Vayujal machines typically consume 0.24–0.42 kWh per liter, while larger industrial models have optimised systems to reduce energy costs.
- How does an AWG contribute to sustainability?
VayuJal AWGs reduce dependency on traditional water sources like groundwater or bottled water, helping conserve natural resources. They are eco-friendly, use bio-inspired designs, and run on refrigerants with minimal environmental impact. VayuJal Prevents uses of plastic bottles, groundwater withdrawal, reject water generation and resources and infrastructure required for water transportation and making it potable.
- Does the AWG require a water source or plumbing connection?
No external water source is required. VayuJal AWGs extract water directly from the air and can operate independently of plumbing systems. However, a drainage outlet is needed for wastewater produced during the filtration process.
- What maintenance does a VayuJal AWG require?
Maintenance typically includes:
- Air filter cleaning: This is most important maintenance for VayuJal machine, allowing optimal air flow and water generation.
- Filter Replacement: Every 6–12 months (depending on usage and air quality).
- Regular Cleaning: To ensure optimal hygiene and performance. This is best to do every 3 month once.
- Inspection of Components: Check UV lamps, compressors, and other parts annually. As per check list provided by VayuJal.
Detailed maintenance instructions are provided with the system.
- Can the AWG run on renewable energy?
Yes, VayuJal AWGs can be powered using solar panels or other renewable energy sources, making them an excellent choice for off-grid locations or eco-conscious users. VayuJal system are currently running with wind power, stand-alone solar system, hybrid solar systems , diesel generators and grid power supply.
- Where can VayuJal AWGs be used?
VayuJal AWGs are versatile and can be used in:
- Homes, offices, and schools.
- Remote locations and disaster relief camps.
- Industries, factories, and agriculture.
Their adaptability makes them ideal for addressing water scarcity challenges globally.
- How much water can the AWG produce daily?
The water output depends on the model and environmental conditions. VayuJal AWGs can produce between 43 to 3,500 litres per unit (50,000+ litres per day with multi-unit installations) of water per day, depending on the unit’s capacity and air humidity levels.
- Is the water produced by the AWG safe to drink?
Absolutely! The water goes through a 6- or 7-stage, depending on model, filtration process, including advanced air filtration, sediment filters, activated carbon filters, and UV sterilization. This ensures the water is pure, free from contaminants, and safe for consumption.
- Can the AWG operate in polluted or dusty environments?
Yes, VayuJal AWGs are equipped with advanced air filtration systems that can handle air with high particulate matter (up to 10 microns). However, extremely polluted air will require more frequent cleaning of air filter and machine cleaning.
- How is the AWG better than traditional water sources?
The VayuJal AWG provides a sustainable, additional water source, reducing dependence on groundwater, municipal supply, or bottled water. It uses eco-friendly refrigerants and preserves existing natural water reserves.
- Can the AWG be used for commercial or industrial purposes?
Yes, VayuJal offers models that cater to both residential and large-scale commercial needs. From homes to industries, our AWGs can meet diverse water demands with tailored solutions.
