A method for extracting water from air using a system for extracting water from air, said system configured to operate in a moisture absorption phase and a water extraction phase, said system comprising a moisture absorbing unit, a filter unit, and a salt plate, said method comprising:
- positioning said salt plate beneath said moisture absorbing unit during said moisture absorption phase such that a covering of said moisture absorbing unit is placed above said salt plate;
- allowing salt in said salt plate to absorb water from air for a first predetermined duration;
- positioning said salt plate below a base of said filter unit after said first predetermined duration such that said salt plate is in fluid communication with a top covering of said filter unit;
- allowing water absorbed by said salt to evaporate in said filter unit for a second predetermined duration during said water extraction phase;
- allowing said evaporated water to condense and flow through a water channel after said second predetermined duration, wherein said water channel comprises a number of openings which filters the condensed water before said condensed water is collected in a storage unit;
- and
- collecting said condensed water flowing through said water channel in said storage unit.
