Watergen, a pioneering Israeli company, has developed breakthrough technology that extracts clean drinking water directly from the air. Using its patented GENius heat exchanger, the company’s Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG) offer a decentralized, sustainable solution to global water scarcity.
The process starts with the system pulling in ambient air through an intake unit. This air is then cooled by an ultra-efficient heat exchanger, causing moisture in the atmosphere to condense into liquid water—the foundation of Watergen’s production process.
Once collected, the water undergoes a multi-stage filtration cycle designed to remove impurities, microorganisms, and chemical contaminants. Essential minerals are later added to ensure the water meets international drinking standards and maintains a pleasant taste profile.
The final output is fresh, mineralized drinking water, produced continuously without relying on wells, pipelines, or bottled water supply chains. This makes the technology especially valuable in remote or water-stressed regions.
A key strength of Watergen’s system is its energy efficiency, generating about five liters of water per kilowatt-hour. The devices also perform effectively in diverse climates, functioning even when humidity levels drop to 20–25%.
Watergen’s portfolio includes compact home units like Genny as well as large industrial systems designed for communities, institutions, and emergency response. These systems help reduce plastic waste and eliminate the need for extensive water transportation.
Worldwide, Watergen collaborates with partners—including SMV Jaipuria Group in India—and supports humanitarian missions, disaster relief, and conflict-zone operations, extending safe drinking water access to those who need it most.
