OCEAN PINES — The creators of Xziex aren’t magicians, but they do know how to produce water out of thin air.
The slogan of the company is “The Future of Water,” and its atmospheric water generator could very likely live up to that title.
The product is being released onto the market in the United States, Germany, Africa and Mexico. The Xziex machine extracts water from the humidity in the air and purifies it into 99.9 percent pure drinking water.
During the process, the machine cleans and dehumidifies the air.
Carmen Meo of Ocean Pines, a distributor of the product at www.meo.myxziex.com, says the quality is comparable to that of bottled water.
“With bottled water, you don’t know what the source is. It’s nothing but purified water,” he said.
The device purifies water with UV treatment and carbon block filters.
“It’s generating water from the heavens, the sky, the atmosphere,” Meo said.
Also being generated in recent years is a growing interest in water purification systems of all types.
Market research group SBI recently issued a report that found high growth in the U.S. market for residential water treatment products.
And according to one company, 84 percent of Americans think their home water supply is polluted, but only six percent of this market has been tapped.
