Portable air-water generator

A water generating device for obtaining potable water from ambient air inside a structure or dwelling or ambient air outside a structure or dwelling, comprising:

• air passage means for bringing a supply of inside or outside ambient air to the device and for returning the air back outside the device after it has been processed;
• reusable, electrostatic air filter means for filtering the air prior to processing of the air;
• means for sensing and indicating when said air filter is dirty or not properly in place;
• condenser means for extracting water vapor in the filtered air;
• blower means inside the air passage means to move air from outside the device through the air filter and the condenser means and for returning the air back outside the device after it has traversed the condenser means;
• first ultraviolet light exposure means for killing microorganisms in the extracted water vapor;
• temporary holding reservoir means for containing said extracted water vapor;
• pump means to move the water from the temporary holding reservoir to a subsequent location within or outside of the device;
• single-use water filter means downstream of said pump means for filtering the water, said water filter means including a cooperating sensor which renders the water filter non-reusable in the device once removed;
• second ultraviolet light exposure means to act as a sterile outlet preventing microorganisms from migrating backwards into the system;
• and
• means for measuring the pressure differential across the air filter for indicating when a predetermined pressure drop across the filter is reached.
