AquaMagic's 'Hurricane Zone Tour' Prepares 183 Cities for Water Emergencies; First Mass-Produced Mobile Water Generator Pulls Moisture Out of the Air, Purifies It at Low Cost.

HOUSTON -- When people think of the damage caused by Katrina, many thoughts come to mind. However, one that is often overlooked is the horrendous quality of water or lack of water which often leads to dehydration and in worst cases, death. This year, hurricane-prone cities can be better prepared to handle similar disasters, thanks to a machine that uses the moisture in the air to make water.

AquaMagic's Hurricane Zone Tour will tour 183 U.S. cities in the South and Southwest that have been singled out as likely to be hit by this season's hurricanes. At each stop, AquaMagic will introduce its revolutionary disaster response unit that makes water from the air, right where its needed. The technology doesn't require any plumbing or a traditional source of water to clean. The water is pulled from the moisture in the air, eliminating the need for emergency responders to drive or airlift in pallet after pallet of bottled water. Units can instead be placed where the water is needed, producing water continuously.

AquaMagic's HP120-DRU is the first mass-produced mobile water generator (MWG). The generator works by pulling moisture from the air, filtering it through AquaMagic's patent pending AquaFlash purification process that eliminates potential organic and inorganic contaminants and bacteria, and keeps the water fresh for storing and dispensing.

The resulting water is so pure it exceeds the combined standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water. The quality of the water is as good, if not better, than bottled water.

Using water generators have several advantages in a disaster situation over other technologies. Unlike machines that use reverse-osmosis to create purified water, an MWG is more efficient during disasters because it doesn't depend on contaminated water to create potable water. Instead it uses the air as the only source.

Furthermore, MWGs are a cheap option because of the low cost involved in manufacturing the water. The HP120-DRU produces 120 gallons in a day. That's about 1,000 16 oz bottles of water. Bottled water on average costs one to ten dollars per gallon, not including the costs to ship to the affected area. MWGs produce water at a cost of only .30 cents/gallon.

"This year's hurricane season is projected to be as bad -- if not worse -- that last year," says Dr. William Gray, noted hurricane expert. "We predict there will be nine hurricanes this year, with five reaching Category 3 or greater. That's why we believe it's critical to have this technology available to local EMT's right now."

AquaMagic, a water technology company, is headquartered in Ogden, Utah and conducts research and development in Colorado. Starting June 1, they will be embarking on a 183 city "Hurricane Zone" tour to inform and engage the public about how to secure clean water during a catastrophic hurricane.
