Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it work in the desert?
A: Most 2026 models like the Nube Sero function down to 25-30% humidity. For hyper-arid regions, we recommend desiccant-based AWGs.
Q: How much electricity does it use?
A: Modern AWGs consume approximately 0.2kWh to 0.4kWh per liter of water produced, making them highly efficient compared to 2020 standards.
Q: Is the water safe for infants?
A: Yes, the multi-stage UV and mineral injection systems meet or exceed WHO drinking water standards.
