Canadian Company Element Four Invents 'Water Mill' Green Appliance

A Canadian company called Element Four based out of Kelowna, British Columbia has invented an intriguing household appliance that could revolutionize how we collect and drink water in our home. The device is called the WaterMill and it uses very similar technology as your garden-variety dehumidifier. It pulls moisture from the air and then filters that moisture to produce drinking water, currently up to 12 litres per day.

The home version draws moisture from the outdoors and then pipes that water inside your house after it has passed through a carbon filtration process as well as an ultraviolet light filter. Element Four has also made an agriculture version to assist farmers in the irrigation of their crops.

Taking control of your own daily water supply is a pretty big green step in the right direction. With the WaterMill by Element Four, the goal of water independence may not be so far-fetched after all.
