A Storm of Innovation: Altitude Water’s Latest Developments

Wow!!! It’s been a while.  With the hurricane season upon us and the growth of Altitude Water we believe this is a perfect title. We also encourage you to go over your hurricane checklist now and make sure you are prepared.  If you would like to completely take water off your too do list in case of a hurricane- contact us about acquiring a T12.

You may be asking, “with all the good things that were happening at the end of 2024 and the projects being completed why has Altitude not posted an update since January?”

While we have stayed active on social media, we have not released any blogs or formal updates.

With our recent successes:

  • Two Disaster Relief Trailers built operating in Maui.
  • Altitude’s New State-of-the-art solar Disaster Relief ‘s successful operation in Florida and Asheville Disaster Relief.
  • We completed the Maka project in October and had the ribbon cutting at the end of 2024. The Hub is producing 1,000 liters/day for Maka village.

Altitude had to prepare for the global implementation of its product line.  We also identified certain areas of the Water Industry that our ozone purification process solved, and we wanted to offer those products as a complete solution.

For example, as 2024 was coming to an end in Asheville NC, the water the disaster relief trailer could make was decreasing.  With the colder temperatures and lower humidity, the water making aspect of the trailer was not effective; however, the purification and electrical components of the trailer still made it useful to Grassroots Aid Partnership.  The trailer went from the operational hub in downtown Asheville at the firehouse to local missions providing electricity and purified water to isolated locations. They also recharged solar generators in remote locations off the Trailer’s battery bank.  It was a movable 60 kWh energy source.

As we witnessed this need, we immediately began the R&D on an ozone purification system that we could integrate into the trailer to purify existing contaminated water.  Alvaro immediately began the process to modify the existing ozone purification system as a stand-alone product. Additionally, this product was integrated into the rainwater capture system we were installing on our Water Hubs.

Start to Run or Run to Plan

It is the decisions made during these critical times where the trajectory of the growth of a company is determined.  Here are our choices:

  • Do we take the momentum that we created, the successful implementation of our technology and ramp up production and begin full blown production and marketing?
  • Do we focus solely on the AWG business and products we have been developing for the past 17 years, or do we add products to our portfolio?
  • Do we have the resources available– capital and staff to meet the demands of high growth over multi platforms?
  • Do we have the funding available to market new products currently?

Breathe. Evaluate. Pray. Repeat.

After intense evaluation, we decided as a team to strengthen our company’s foundation before entering the next stage of growth.  We made this decision based upon the following factors:

  1. We had just purchased Altitude in June 2023 and needed to evaluate our supply chain and make improvements to the machines based upon the data we received from our customers.
  2. We completed the third version of our state-of-the-art Disaster Relief Trailer and wanted to evaluate the operation in the field and finalize the options we will include in the trailer.
  3. We just completed the Water Hub in Maka Cameroon and wanted to evaluate the operations in Maka before moving forward with other projects to make sure we had all of the areas covered.
  4. While our staff has accomplished great things by achieving these on time and on budget, we are understaffed. Corporate procedures, accounting, and corporate governance needs work.

As you know, Altitude is founded on Christian values. We do value the wisdom of Scripture when making decisions (we of course do not make judgements on those who don’t share these same beliefs but instead hope our actions show our commitment to these values will make people curious about our beliefs but we understand that everyone has a right to make their own spiritual or religious choices and respect that).

One of the Scriptures I received was from Luke 14:28 where Jesus states, “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— “

While my business acumen pushed us to take advantage of this great publicity and proceed full bore with manufacturing, marketing, and sales, my experience in building companies told me to evaluate.

You’ve heard me say this before- “Small emerging growth technology companies lack two important things- capital and people.  Altitude Water is no different.  We accomplished numerous manufacturing goals, but still have administrative and capital needs to meet our growth and to get us on a financial footing to keep the production line operating and realize economics of scale to bring lower prices for the consumer while keeping a margin that allows us to grow and help communities in need.

Altitude Water will provide another update next week with what we have accomplished in these last 6 months during our quiet period but will preview that blog with a brief outline of what’s coming.

1. Closed on bridge financing to fund the next run of T12s (100 units), T100s (5 units), and T200s.

2. Completed financials for 2023 and 2024, as well as preparing a 506 (c) capital fund raise available to accredited investors to support the next stage of growth.

3. Hired teams to implement the following sales programs-

4. T12 Rental program in Dade, Broward and Palm Counties

5. Disaster Relief Trailer marketing program to Fortune 1000 Companies

6. Marketing for Distributors

7. Working on implementing AWG technology into the Yachting Industry through one of our new Distributors M2 Holistic studios as well as whole house systems.

8. Marketing the new ozone purification products- the large (1,500 gallons/day) and small ozone purification box (50 gallons/day).

9. Coordinate the national and local charities we work with and devise programs to solve generational issues and meet community needs. We have taken this time to develop a plan and a comprehensive strategy for nonprofit and for-profit companies working together to meet the needs of our community. If anyone has been paying attention to how we currently deal with Disasters is changing (look what’s happening to FEMA) and we look to fill that void with our partners whose focus is disaster relief.

10. We work with the following international charities:

Aquavera

Noah’s Arc

L’Oreal Women Sustainability Fund

Grassroots Aid Partnership

Jean Felicien Gacha

  • We have begun working on other projects and programs with the very high profile and well-known charities. Please keep in touch to see the projects we are discussing as we will be announcing them shortly. There are some life-changing projects on the table and funded that we are in the process of finalizing.
  • We work with numerous local charities and organizations as well and Altitude will be focusing on South Florida market to develop a bee-hive program similar to what Footprint developed in New Orleans:

1. Mission Possible

2. Kindness Matters

3. Good Vibrations Music Company- one of our new distributors and manufacturers of the Made in the USA Frequency Bed and Water/Floating/Frequency healing.

4. Maui Church of Christ

5.  Fixx- Working with Bruce Soscia, Sr.

6. Planet Plasticless- focused on removing plastic from waterways- based in Miami.

7. Barefoot Republic Camp- camp on Amy Grant Farm.

Met with Amy Grant during her November concert in Fort Lauderdale (thank you Amy for the tickets and backstage passes for the team) and have numerous new initiatives moving forward. We will be at the farm in Nashville on August 1st to expand the capabilities of her water hub and hopefully celebrate another project starting- stay tuned.

Water bottling- While the Disaster Relief Trailer was a vision from 15 years ago, we also believe bottled water, made from the air, in glass bottles is a superior model for consumer and environment. We are currently negotiating with other potential partners so please stay tuned for announcements.

We are in negotiations with a large conglomerate with international water relationships and businesses in strategic countries that lack access to safe drinking water. The potential for joining forces and creating numerous different products to meet water needs is exciting and developing.  I personally knew this group as they developed and patented the first-generation AWG back when I started in the industry.  My father and I were distributors for those products back in 2007. This would create a world leader in the AWG industry- something it needs as the technology is accepted as a solution for water issues.

We hope you enjoyed our update and are as excited about the future of Altitude Water as we are.  After a brief break during our planning stage, we have re-engaged Transmedia to handle our PR and get our message and programs to the public.  We look to develop a strong water tribe in South Florida and use that model around the world.

Stay hydrated my friends……..

Top 7 Benefits of Atmospheric Water Generators at Home

 

Clean water is a basic human need — but the way we access it is changing. Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) are emerging as the future of sustainable, independent hydration.

In this post, we’ll explore the top 7 benefits of owning a water generator for your home — and why it’s one of the smartest investments you can make.

1. Get Clean Drinking Water from Air — Anytime

 

AWGs work by extracting moisture from the atmosphere, purifying it, and delivering clean, fresh drinking water — all from the air around you.

There’s no need for plumbing, wells, or municipal water lines. Simply plug in the unit, and you’ve got pure hydration on demand.

✅ Great for: Homes with poor water quality, frequent boil advisories, or off-grid setups.

 

2. Say Goodbye to Plastic Bottles

 

One household can go through hundreds of plastic bottles each year — all of which eventually end up in landfills or oceans.

Using an AWG means:

  • No more single-use plastic waste

  • No more heavy lifting or deliveries

  • A cleaner conscience and a cleaner planet

♻️ AWGs are a major step toward zero-waste, sustainable living.

 

3. Independent Water Supply (Perfect for Emergencies)

 

Natural disasters, broken pipes, contamination — these can all disrupt your water supply. But an AWG keeps working as long as there’s air and electricity.

In a crisis, having a self-contained water generator can make all the difference.

🛡️ Ideal for:

  • Emergency preparedness

  • Power outage survival (especially with solar backup)

  • Remote homes and cabins

 

4. Purified and Mineralised,  Better Than Tap

 

Tap water often contains:

  • Chlorine

  • Heavy metals

  • PFAS (forever chemicals)

  • Microplastics

AWGs eliminate these with multi-stage filtration and UV sterilization, producing water that’s:

  • Chemically pure

  • Free of pathogens

  • Optionally mineralized for health and taste

💧 It’s like having your own mini water treatment plant at home.

 

5. Cost-Effective in the Long Run

Yes, AWGs have an upfront cost — but over time, they pay for themselves.

Let’s compare:

  • Bottled water: ~$1,000+ per year for a family

  • Filter systems: recurring costs + maintenance

  • AWG: One-time cost + minimal maintenance

AWGs are especially cost-efficient in regions where bottled or filtered water is expensive or hard to access.

 

6. Easy Setup, Zero Plumbing

 

AWGs don’t require installation, piping, or any special infrastructure.

Just:

  1. Unbox the machine

  2. Plug it into a power outlet

  3. Start collecting water

💡 Within hours, you’ll have your first glass of air-to-water hydration.

 

7. Supports a Greener, Smarter Home

 

Today’s homeowners care about:

  • Energy efficiency

  • Eco-conscious design

  • Sustainable technology

Adding a water-from-air machine is a conversation piece and a statement of values — that you care about the environment and self-reliance.

🏡 Whether you’re off-grid, building an eco-home, or just trying to reduce your footprint, an AWG fits the vision.

 

Why Choose Altitude Water for Your Home?

 

At Altitude Water, our award-winning AWGs are:

✅ Energy-efficient
✅ Quiet and stylish
✅ Ideal for households of any size
✅ Equipped with best-in-class purification
✅ Built for daily use in any climate with 30–80% humidity

We’ve helped families around the world gain control of their water source — while saving money and reducing waste.

 

Atmospheric Water Generators aren’t just for tech enthusiasts or eco-activists anymore.

They’re practical, smart, and accessible — giving everyday homeowners the power to produce fresh, pure water at home, directly from the air.

Water from Air Explained: How Atmospheric Water Generators Work

Imagine drinking water that never touched the ground.
Thanks to modern technology, that’s now a reality with Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) — machines that make water from air.

In this post, we’ll explore how these powerful devices work, the science behind them, and why they’re rapidly becoming the future of clean, sustainable drinking water.

What Is an Atmospheric Water Generator?

 

An Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) is a device that extracts moisture from ambient air and turns it into pure, drinkable water. It does this by condensing the humidity present in the atmosphere — much like how dew forms on grass in the early morning.

AWGs are a game-changer for:

  • Homes in drought-prone areas
  • Off-grid and emergency survival
  • Hotels, schools, and commercial buildings
  • Regions with contaminated or unreliable water sources

How Does It Work? (The Science, Simply Explained)

 

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how an AWG creates water from air:

1. Air Intake

The machine pulls in ambient air through a high-efficiency air filter, removing dust and particles.

2. Condensation

Inside the unit, a cooling system chills the air to its dew point — the temperature at which water vapor turns into liquid. This is the same principle behind water droplets forming on a cold glass.

3. Collection

The condensed water drips into a collection tank, similar to how your air conditioner removes moisture — but this time, it’s purified for drinking.

4. Purification

Before reaching your glass, the water is passed through:

Multi-stage filtration

UV sterilization

Mineralization (optional) for better taste and health

5. Storage or Dispensing

Clean water is stored in a sealed internal tank and can be accessed like a regular water dispenser — hot or cold.

Why Is This Technology So Important?

 

✅ 1. No Pipes, No Wells

AWGs don’t rely on plumbing, wells, or bottled deliveries. They’re standalone systems — just plug them in.

✅ 2. Environmentally Friendly

Reduces plastic waste from bottled water

No groundwater depletion

No chemical contamination

✅ 3. Reliable in Emergencies

When floods, contamination, or infrastructure failures hit, AWGs can still provide a consistent source of water.

How Much Water Can You Get from Air?

That depends on:

  • Humidity: More moisture = more water production
  • Temperature: Warm climates help
  • Machine size: Home units vs. industrial-scale AWGs

For example, Altitude Water’s AWGs can produce up to 10–30+ liters of water per day, depending on the model and environment.

Is Water from Air Safe to Drink?

 

Yes — in fact, it’s often safer than tap water.

Because AWGs bypass old plumbing, underground pipes, and contaminants, and because they include UV sterilization and filtration, the resulting water is:

  • Free of bacteria
  • Free of heavy metals
  • Free of PFAS and chlorine

Who Uses Atmospheric Water Generators?

 

  • Homes & apartments: For clean daily drinking water
  • Off-grid cabins and RVs
  • Disaster relief agencies and NGOs
  • Schools & hospitals in remote or underserved areas
  • Luxury hotels offering eco-luxury amenities

Altitude Water: Pure Drinking Water, Anywhere

 

At Altitude Water, we’re on a mission to make clean water accessible to all — using the air around us.

With state-of-the-art technology, energy efficiency, and elegant designs, our AWGs are trusted by families, communities, and organizations around the world.

FAQs

 

❓How much energy does an AWG use?

AWGs typically use about 200–300 watts per liter produced. Models vary in efficiency, but solar-compatible options are available.

❓Do they work in dry climates?

AWGs work best in humid environments (above 30% RH), but some newer models can still extract water in dry regions using desiccant-based technology.

❓Is the water mineralized?

 

Most units offer optional mineralization filters for taste and health. Pure H₂O is also available for medical or specialty use.

Final Thoughts

 

Atmospheric water generators aren’t just futuristic tech — they’re here, they work, and they can change lives.

In a world where clean water is increasingly scarce, pulling water from the air might just be the most sustainable solution we have.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: The Story Behind Altitude Water’s Disaster Relief Innovations

Disaster Relief Trailer by Altitude Water
ANDRESADDEWALE@GMAIL.COM

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: The Story Behind Altitude Water’s Disaster Relief Innovations

 

At Altitude Water, we pride ourselves on constantly evolving to meet the challenges we face in disaster relief and beyond. This is the story of how necessity and hands-on experience inspired the design of our current Disaster Relief Trailer and two innovative new products.

 

Centralizing Our Progress

 

In 2025, one of our primary goals is to consolidate our media into a single, accessible location. While working on this project, I rediscovered videos that capture Altitude Water’s journey. These clips vividly showcase how we operate, why we lead in the air-to-water industry, and how we’ve expanded into water purification. They also illustrate the lessons we’ve learned from being on the ground during disasters.

 

Listening and Learning on the Ground

 

You’ve heard the saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Nowhere is this more evident than in our disaster relief work. Over the years, we’ve learned that the best way to understand the needs of disaster-affected communities is by actively listening to residents and first responders.

 

During our time in Maui helping with wildfire recovery, the Altitude team not only built a Disaster Relief Trailer for Noah’s Arc but also:

  1. Attended FEMA meetings to hear community concerns.
  2. Built solar arrays to support the local power grid.
  3. Installed reverse osmosis systems to deliver clean water.
  4. Distributed Brita water filters to those in need.
  5. Participated in disaster response workshops.

 

While it’s easy to focus on immediate relief, each disaster offers a unique opportunity to learn and improve. Whether it’s attending late-night community meetings or troubleshooting on the fly, we see every challenge as a chance to refine our approach. We know the team would rather get some sleep after a long day working on relief but we also knew we could learn a lot listening to different perspectives.

 

Adapting Through Experience

 

Each disaster presents its own complexities, and every interaction adds to our understanding. For instance, during the Hurricane Helene response and subsequent deployments in both Florida and North Carolina, we realized two critical factors:

  1. Communication is essential. Reliable internet connectivity can make or break relief efforts.
  2. Communities need more than just pure drinking water. Large quantities of water for cleaning, cooking, and hygiene are equally critical.

 

Innovating Through Collaboration

In January 2024, during our third trip to assist with the Maui wildfires, we attended a solar conference in Waikiki hosted by our partner, Footprint Project. This workshop was transformative. It brought together first responders, residents, and nonprofits to evaluate disaster response strategies, prompting us to reimagine our Disaster Relief Trailers.

 

This post highlights Altitude Water’s commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and community impact. Together, we can meet the challenges of tomorrow. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and evolve.

 

The feedback and insights gathered during the workshop, combined with our hands-on experience, led to two significant upgrades for our trailers:

1.Enhanced Communication Capabilities: We added Starlink satellite connectivity to provide reliable internet access, simplifying communication without incurring unnecessary costs.

2.Advanced Water Purification Systems: Recognizing the need for water beyond drinking, we developed a new ozone purification system. This addition allows our trailers to purify external water sources for uses like showering, cleaning, and cooking.

 

These upgrades debuted in our South Florida Disaster Relief Trailer in April 2024 and have since set a new standard for our disaster response.

 

Expanding Our Vision

 

The lessons learned and innovations developed during these deployments have propelled us beyond being solely an air-to-water company. Today, Altitude Water is a diversified water solutions provider, meeting the varied needs of communities in crisis.

As we reflect on the journey that led to these advancements, it’s clear that looking back has been essential to moving forward. Each disaster, every meeting, and all the stories shared have shaped who we are—and who we strive to become.

 

A Future of Innovation

 

Our commitment to innovation doesn’t stop here. The two new products inspired by these efforts are nearly ready for market. They represent our dedication to evolving alongside the challenges we face and ensuring we’re always ready to serve communities in need.

At Altitude Water, necessity isn’t just the mother of invention—it’s the foundation of our mission to provide clean, safe water wherever it’s needed most.

The Perfect Storm

Huricane Map | Photo by NASA - Unsplash

Where did February go?  So busy preparing for the Perfect Storm
we didn’t get to Feb’s blog, so here she is as the news likes to say:
‘LATE BREAKING’

Sorry, brave and loyal readers.  We apologize for the delay but after you read this blog we believe you will understand. We feel so blessed we’re able to predict this Perfect Storm brewing on the horizon. We just hoped our company would survive and be there to help people through this powerful mixture of events (it’s not easy being so early in the game as a disruptive technology). These events are occurring at just the right time in our growth cycle(we would have preferred earlier, but as with all weather events, these things are tough to predict, and we must trust God’s timing and He provided us the right partners at the perfect time). Blessed to say we have survived and are STRONGER than ever.

What is a Perfect Storm?  Did you see the movie, the 2000 release with George Clooney depicting the 1991 Halloween Nor’easter?  The film combined three meteorological events to create the “Perfect Storm.”

The Collins dictionary defines Perfect Storm best as “an unusual combination of events or things that produce an unusually bad or powerful result.”

Our Perfect Storm focuses on the powerful result (not the bad although the frequency of weather storms does have a bad result for the residents whose pain we try to ease) as there have been three events that have created the PERFECT STORM (and of course we will use it to make the best water).

Event #1- Science and the Media have caught up to the water pollution problem AND the plastic problem.

This month the news was awash with tons of stories on both issues.  The recent articles regarding the contamination of our aquifers and the percentages of our municipal systems have been shocking, even to us.  The fact is the EPA has not put new contaminates on the testing list or a standard for testing for them or a safe limit, which is hugely concerning.

Let me give you a perfect example of this that I discussed at a FEMA/Army Corp of Engineers community meeting in Kula Maui when I was there in October.

We all know the growth of EV and the most prominent element in the batteries is lithium.  They were discussing the air testing that was done after the fires and the high content of lithium that prevented them from allowing people back to their homes and the community wanted the data.

As the lithium came from the EVs being burned,  I of course asked what the water tests showed regarding lithium and was told that they didn’t test for it in the water.  When I inquired why not if it was in the air, they responded, “The EPA hasn’t given us testing parameters or procedures to test for lithium in the water.”

WHAT, NO TESTS?

Excuse me, I said to them. You know it’s in the air and you prevented people from going back into their homes because of it, yet you haven’t tested for it in the water because the EPA hasn’t given you water testing guidelines?   That absurd, I thought. You can’t make this stuff up.  I posted live videos on our FB page of us attending the meetings.

DON’T BELIEVE ME?

Here is a link to the EPA’s Technical Data Sheet for lithium- https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf

Look at UCMR 5 as it states the following-

“SDWA (Safe Drinking Water Act) requires that every five years the EPA publish monitoring requirements for priority contaminants that may be present in drinking water and do not have EPA drinking water regulatory standards. UCMR 5, which includes lithium, spans 2022 – 2026, with sample collection by public water systems (PWSs) from 2023 – 2025 and the completion of data reporting in 2026 (EPA, 2021a; EPA, 2021b). Learn more about UCMR 5.”

It states right there those chemicals in UCMR 5 “do not have EPA drinking water regulatory standards.”  In other words, we are monitoring the situation every 5 years and we will get back to you.  Man, that doesn’t exactly make me feel better.  How about you?

Now we have all seen the new studies released this month regarding microplastics in bottled water.  Here is a quote from the study conducted by the NIH, “The researchers found that, on average, a liter of bottled water included about 240,000 tiny pieces of plastic. About 90% of these plastic fragments were Nano plastics. This total was 10 to 100 times more plastic particles than seen in earlier studies, which mostly focused on larger microplastics.” https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/plastic-particles-bottled-water#:~:text=The%20researchers%20found%20that%2C%20on,mostly%20focused%20on%20larger%20microplastics.

We have stated this for a decade (and been called fear mongers), but I know that if I put a case of water in the sun for a week the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) readings will go through the roof.  I could maintain the seal on the water bottle but the number of particles inside would increase.  While a TDS reading doesn’t tell you what the particle is that’s increasing, but what else could it be?  The bottle is sealed. The only thing in contact with the water is the plastic bottle.  Anyone remember Sheryl Crow saying she got breast cancer from drinking unopened hot bottled water in her car that she put back in the fridge?  The bottled water industry and the media lambasted her for that statement.

Microplastics affect the cells in your body.  Water will only hydrate you if it crosses the cell membrane.  If it doesn’t, all it does is pass through your body.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand tiny particles of plastic might block this process or severely damage your cells.  Also, what is plastic made of? Petroleum. Yea that sure seems healthy, doesn’t it?

We stand vindicated for bringing this up a decade ago and now the public has the facts.  That’s a pretty powerful Event #1 right there.

Event #2- The increased efficiency and Government Subsidies for Alternate Energy has made it a viable alternative to Municipal Electrical Utilities’ and the Government Subsidies for adding solar and AWGs more economical.

I have been blessed over the past two months to be interviewed by numerous publications and radio shows discussing the Environment and our technology (Environmental Impact with Environmentalist icon Nancy Pearlman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcY93xxPS4I&t=32s  and Authority Magazine naming me a Social Impact Hero http://tinyurl.com/Authority-Magazine  to name two) and I also have an article being published in Energies Magazine March issue that discusses this exactly (we will post when its published this month).

Getting tax credits for buying solar and knowing you have a set capital cost that can be amortized over 7 years makes AWG technology attractive and more economical than in past years.  It also allows you to control two of the most important commodities for living a safe, peaceful and healthy life–water and electricity.

I will not go into detail in this blog as the article will come out soon and I am honored and blessed that Energies felt it was worth publishing, but we have finally secured great solar partners to co-market our products.  The partnership with NUE Use Energy that was released last month and our working and testing relationship with the Non-profit Footprint.org has put us in a position that no other AWG company has.

We have tested our products together and now offer solar solutions to our customers on our website.  We are about to unveil our solar page as well.  Only being in this industry for the past 15 years has given us the reputation and trust for other companies in the alternate energy industry to want to partner with us. We are also finishing our South Florida Disaster Relief Trailer with our AWGs run on solar.  Thank you, Mind Army, for having the vision to support this cause and LGNDS for making a huge donation to protect South Florida during a disaster.

Event #3- Civil unrest and lingering fear over what is happening in the world

War in Israel and Gaza. In Ukraine. China and the US at odds with balloons being floated over our Country.  Extremists in BOTH parties (not being political but the word moderate seems to have left the dictionary) seemingly unable to find any common ground.  I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say the world is in a mess right now.

Now we wish this wasn’t the case and we are not trying to feed into the fear, but we have seen a larger group of people that want to secure their access to safe water and electricity. We have always believed, with groundwater pollution and other aspects affecting our planet, that it is a great idea to secure your own safe water supply.  It’s the reason why we have invested so much money in building the best AWGs on the market.  But we wish there wasn’t all this unrest to help prove our point.

It does make sense.  With unrest and wars not being fought the traditional way (now with unmanned drones, bioweapons, threats of EMP, farming industry being controlled, and farmland being bought up by the rich, and experiencing supply problems with COVID etc) have caused even the most ardent city dwellers looking to move to the country and become sustainable and resilient.

The prepper movement is no longer fringe.  It’s mainstream. Heck, we have a new hit TV show Modern Homestead that follows two Californians – Janna Breslin and Evan DeMarco that move to Tennessee to learn how to Homestead https://youtu.be/wFB4hDoMI1M?si=uW1XOPY0vuueviKK

Three events all move together at one point in time to create the Perfect Storm.  Sorry we missed the February Blog, but we have been busy giving people the right tools to be resilient to weather this storm.

Have a blessed and safe March everyone and Lord willing we will be back in April to update you on our progress.

If this blog has piqued your interest, we would love for you to become a Water Warrior and join the movement to give every human the right to access pure safe drinking water.

So, for the good of the planet, your loved ones and yourself, I urge you to become a . . .

Water Warrior!

We have made great strides in getting the foundation built.

  1. The first T200 has been built and tested and is currently packaged to ship. This will be integrated with the solar and tested in March/April.
  2. The solar bid was published and awarded to African Solar. We are happy as we worked with African Solar in previous trips to Cameroon.
  3. The Hub is almost completed. We love the fact that Jean Felicien Gacha was the project manager and incorporated the help of the village to build.  It just proves our statement that it takes a Village to effectuate change and #teamworkmakesthedreamwork.  We would like to thank construction extraordinaire Hillaire for the great job he is doing on the Hub

Disaster Relief Trailer for South Florida Update

We no longer need help in funding this trailer as Mind Army received a donation to cover the cost and logistics of the trailer.  We are now in build mode.

This trailer will be state of the art and there is nothing like it.  It will not only provide water but these other needs in a Disaster situation:

  1. Electric- The trailer will have solar purchased from our new strategic partner New Use Energy. The design of the fold up panels should be completed shortly.  We will have enough Alternative Energy from the sun to run the water machine but also to charge phones.
  2. Communications- We added a communications tower that will enabler people access to Wi-Fi and cellular service if the disaster decimates those services (which we saw happen in Maui-see we learn)
  3. A small generator to charge batteries in case of lack of sun or to meet the need.
  4. Solar tents create energy and provide shelter to those getting water.

We have an aggressive timeline for completing the trailer.  We have shared a booth at the Disaster Relief Show at the Miami Beach Convention Center with NUE Use energy and hope to have it ready for a meet and greet.

We recently returned from a short trip to Oahu and Maui in January are hearts are full of gratitude that our technology is being part of the solution for those in need.

Noah’s Arc Disaster Relief Trailer is being used at the Pu’uhunoa O Nene site in Kuhului Maui for Project Vision.  It is meeting the water needs as well as filling up Water Tanks to ship to 2 additional sites in Lahaina.  Having 3 sites receiving water from our machines is awesome and what we envisioned when we got involved in this project.

We also are working with other groups on solar/water trailers.  Stay tuned as we want to be involved in helping those that are homeless after the fires took their homes and get them out of the hotels and into a living space they can call their home.

What a Difference a Year Makes

Water Hub for Maui, Hawaii.

This time last year there was a cloud of fear of the unknown hovering Altitude Water.

What was going to happen to us when our parent company Altitude International Holdings was in financial difficulty.

They had attempted to purchase the Club Med Property in Port St. Lucie and were notified they were in default of a loan on which Altitude Water was collateral. Not only were we not being funded properly, but now we didn’t know who would own the company.

While stressful for management, it also took its toll on employees. In a manufacturing facility, it is soon obvious when funding stops. Buying parts and production halts. While we had enough parts to start building the T12s, we lacked cases. Reading the SEC filings of the public company, we know there was trouble.

Then everything changed. And now that’s all behind us as we start 2024 with self-confidence, exhilaration and a renewed spirit of growth. We also start with two of our longest-serving employees now becoming owners. So, we would first like to thank Alvaro DaSilva and Jaymie Ditzler for all their hard work in building the BEST AWG on the market. And we congratulate them on becoming what they’ve earned the right to become—owners!

As 2024 starts we have excitement and anticipation that all our hard work will yield huge benefits for our team and investors. We have numerous projects in various stages, but most of the testing is complete. We have completed upgrades, have machines making more water than ever before, joined forces with new Nonprofits, and added new products to our arsenal. Here is a quick recap of the areas on which we will focus our efforts and the projects they entail.

  1. Hawaii- We developed for Noah’s Arc a Disaster Relief Trailer that is in operation in Maui which is providing water to those displaced by the wildfires. It is currently located at a homeless center in Kuhului providing water for the staff and residents in addition to having tanks filled and driven to Lahaina.
    1. Returning to Maui at the end of January 2023 to work on a solar/water trailer currently being built there.
    2. Attending a FootprintProject.Org event on Oahu
    3. Meeting with other Non-profits who need water in their project. The State of Hawaii is not granting new water use permits so new construction will be looking at AWGs as a solution.
  2. Maka Project Cameroon- This project is moving along nicely, and we are scheduled to ship the first unit Feb 1.
    1. The Groundbreaking ceremony was completed, and the Water Hub is being built by Jean-Felicien Gacha Foundation who is also using this project to train villagers on construction skills.
    2. The solar bid was put out for the project, and we were pleased that African Solar won the bid as we having been working with them since our first visit to Cameroon in April 2022.
  1. New Products going on website- Altitude Water will be releasing three new products on the website starting in January:
    1. The first will be a solar generator and panels to run the T-12 off grid. We will be bundling these with our units for bigger discounts.
    1. The PsS10565A purification box was designed and built by purification specialist Alvaro DaSilva. This product is now completed after successful testing and upgrades to the PLC Board for greater flexibility. Will be on the website soon.
    1. Disaster Relief Solar/Water trailer- The specs are being completed and built and should be ready for posting soon.
  1. Ecuador- Our distributor Nubios has completed the testing of the T-12 with the Universidad de Catolica Guayaquil and are completing the design for installing a Water Hub on one of the buildings. A demonstration video has been completed on the project.
    1. 1 T-100 will sit on the roof.
    2. 1 PsS10565A purification box will be on the roof.
    3. 3 T-12 Dispensers will be at the entrance to the building on the ground floor.
  2. Strategic working relationship with FootprintProject.org – (FPP) We have been blessed to continue working with this Nonprofit and developing a resilient and sustainable package for Disasters and water security.
    1. We picked up two trailers for FootprintProject.org to donate to the cause and to work on integrating our water machines. In dealing with Nonprofits it’s all hands on deck and we help where we can.
      1. We sent one of our workers in Louisianna to Willie Nelson’s Farm to pick up a solar trailer that was used at a festival.
      2. Picked up a solar trailer that was used after Hurricane Idilia in Florida outside Tampa
    1. Visited Audubon Gentilly Charter School where FPP is implementing its Beehive concept which we think is everything that you could ask for and will soon be adding water to this project.

There is so much more but time is a valuable commodity right now with everything going on. Many more updates will be coming soon as well as radio interviews, new customers, and the unveiling of the Solar/Water Trailer and a new way to handle disasters. We will be active in recruiting Water Warriors to our team. We will integrate them into some of our projects. Some will be volunteers, and others will be paying jobs. Stay tuned and we would like to thank you and God for helping us through 2023 and having the company now in the charge of its rightful owners.

Building the Foundation on a Rock

We accomplished a lot on this trip and completed the Noah’s Arc Disaster Relief Trailer.  It’s first event was at Harvestfest at Kula Elementary on Saturday November 18, 2023 to great reviews.  It was even requested to stay for the short Thanksgiving week to provide water and education to the kids as well as be available for the Community Meeting with FEMA and Army Corp of Engineers (we did live feeds from those events).

During operations at the school, we produced over 160 gallons of water in an 11-hour period with the temperature hovering around 60 degrees all night but 70%-100% RH (yes it rained some that night).  That equates to 349 gallons in a 24-hour period.  This was accomplished at approximately 6 gallons of diesel or $30 (diesel is expensive in Maui) for a cost of $.1875/gallon. Again, the results of this test were live fed on FB and stored on the drive.

I. Maui Trip- Nov 15-29- Here are the things we accomplished.

  1. Replace water tank on Disaster Relief Trailer (DRT)
  2. Installed Generator.
  3. Got lights and brakes on trailer.
  4. Hooked up the PsS 10565 (our newest product- the Ozone Purification Box) to the water system on OW Ranch and the 250-gallon tank. (videos available- did not take a picture)
  5. Deliver DRT unit to Kula. This was all accomplished Thur/Fri, November 16-17
  6. Harvestfest on Saturday and additional testing at Kula Sunday-Wed.
  7. Mon-Wed dispense water to kids and teach on water.
  8. Numerous other meetings with people provided from OW Ranch- Ryan (Generator), Charlie (Electrician), James (Trailer expert)
  9. Meetings with:
    1. Pastor Corey on distribution and solar trailers- he is on board.
    2. Marv- He built the trailer the DRT is on and the second solar trailer in progress.
    3. Donny- Building Tiny Houses. This was accomplished Sat-Thursday (Thanksgiving)
  1. We visited numerous sites that need electricity and water and met with the nonprofits and operators. All want more info on the Solar/Water trailer. Some are waiting on the grants to be approved for Footprintproject.org and the 10 T12s and 4 T150s they submitted. Pastor Corey installed solar panels and a Tesla Wall
  2. Built prototype and painted 1st solar trailer.
    1. 16 panels
    2. 6 kWh
    3. Comes with either 1 T150 or 3 T12s.
  1. Handed off all parts and manuals to Noah’s Arc
  2. Developed presentation for Hubs and shelters we visited.
  3. Followed up with all potential distributors.

II. Ecuador – In all of the excitement of our first DRT hitting the road we ignored everything going on in Ecuador.

We are drawing up documents to make NUBIOS E.C. our exclusive distributor in Ecuador.   Carlos from EyC our metal fabricator bought three (3) T12 machines and traveled to Ecuador to set up distribution.  Here is what he accomplished:

  1. Got the Universidad Catolica de Santiago de Guayaquil (https://www.ucsg.edu.ec/) to run tests on the T12- The water production came back higher then we represent in our owners manual. We now have the third party data of testing of our T12.
  2. Set up presentations with a staff of PHD’s responsible for different aspects of the Universidad.
  3. Developing water hubs for implementation at the school and completing a 3D rendition of it.
  4. Purchasing 2 T-150s and 4 T12s with dispensing

III. South Florida DRT- Working with Mind Army on 2nd

  1. Building the T300 now with one for Maka project

IV.Additional work being done

After meeting with the homeless shelter across from the airport on Hana Highway Pastor Corey installed a Tesla solar wall to power their Medical Trailer. He reviewed Altitude’s report and suggestions on water with the Operations manager on the site and they are excited to work with us. The medical trailer is running 100% on solar and we are working with the company to include AWGs in the trailers.
