Depending on ambient conditions (air temperature and relative humidity), our water units use:

- Tsunami-50 around .8 Kilowatts per hour.

- Tsunami-500 between 5.8-7.5 Kilowatts per hour.

To calculate the cost of running a water machine for 1 hour, multiply these figures by the Kilowatt-hour price of electricity in your area. For example, in Liberty Lake, WA, where our production facility is located, electricity costs $0.07 (7¢) per kilowatt-hour.

- For Tsunami-50:

.8 x 0.07 = $0.06 per hour

- For Tsunami-500:

5.8 x 0.07 = $0.41 per hour

7.5 x 0.07 = $0.53 per hour

Atmospheric water generators can be left plugged in at all times, producing clean drinking water all day, every day. But you can have them on/off as per your needs.

While dehumidifiers as well as air conditioners do produce certain amounts of water, they are inefficient at it — as that is not what they were designed for. Additionally, they are supposed to be set up indoors only, where they constantly recycle the air in a room to reduce moisture, and so produce less and less water. On the contrary, all of Tsunami® units are located outdoors, and are able to produce infinite amounts of water — efficiently.

There is another concern: water produced by a humidifier is NOT suitable for drinking, as the components and materials it is made from are NOT food-grade, and the water doesn’t go through a proper filtration process. Some coils are coated with special bactericides and mold reducing compounds which are highly toxic if ingested.

Absolutely! Water bottling systems can be installed on any of our large-scale atmospheric water generators. There are companies that have already established water bottling businesses using atmospheric water generators in various countries. It allows for a good profit margin, as the cost of atmospheric water production is economical.

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY & EFFICIENCY: Using refrigeration for dehumidification isn't particularly a new technology. However, in order to maximize the efficiency of this process for large scale water production, applied science and engineering must both work together. One of the main areas of our Research & Development has been to do this refinement. Our water production rates are at an extremely high ratio to the input energy. Obviously, there is only a specific amount of water in any given amount of air which can be extracted, however our systems are designed to squeeze as much moisture from the air as possible per given unit of energy.

All Tsunami® atmospheric water generators use Tsunami Core Technology™ — a special patented extraction chamber with a range of features that force water condensation resulting in greater output. Tsunami Core Technology™ and other proprietary improvements dramatically enhance the process of water extraction, allowing Tsunami® units to achieve great energy efficiency.

DURABILITY: All units manufactured by Tsunami Products are designed with very stringent guidelines and process regulations. All products are built in compliance with ISO 9001 2008 certification standards.

Units are constructed from high grade materials and are welded to ensure years of durability. The housings are completely powder coated with a durable oven-baked paint system.

SAFETY: Electrical systems and components follow UL and NEC regulations for safety certification.

All components which are in direct contact with the potable water portion of the system, follow NSF guidelines. The incorporated air and water filtration systems use only sanitary, high quality stainless steel, FDA approved coated aluminum and plastic materials which are classified for potable water use.

Under typical operation settings, after the primary reservoir on the unit reaches full stage, it will pump the water into a secondary tank which would be located wherever the customer chooses. If the customer has no secondary holding tank, the unit will turn off.
