20 watthours per liter of drinking water is not bad and it's way more efficient than the dehumidifiers. Looks like a great solution even at that slow production rate.

Thanks. I’ll need to read that a few times because I struggle with this constantly.
I think part of the confusion is we don’t normally have units for rates of change. So let’s create one: the “walk” is the speed a person can walk — 3mph. Then I can say the store is “3 walk-hours away”, even if I normally drive the 9 miles with my car. 3 walk-hours = 3 hours @ 1 walk = 18 minutes @ 10 walk (or 30mph) Batteries are rated in “watt-hours” for the same reason: 3wH = 3 hours @ 1 watt = 18 minutes @ 10 wat…
Then I’d say you walked 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. The equivalent to saying generated 15 watts of power over 30 minutes from a panel that’s providing 30wh of power.
I’m assuming what I’m saying is wrong, I just can’t spot it. Thanks for the help.

A cell phone app would be handy for remote monitoring and control. Say you lived a mile away from the ocean where it is deployed. You could turn it on and off depending on the tide and know when the container you are filling is full. Having just completed a home remodel where all the home automation features have an app, having apps is a handy way to monitor and control your hardware without leaving your couch, or ev…
But does the pipe bringing fresh water into your house use an ap? There are things in this life that are expected to "just work", that are so basic they should not be trusted to aps. This product isn't for a fancy house in a city. It is a portable product meant for use in remote areas, by soldiers no less, far away from working cellphone towers or reliable power supplies. Serious consideration should be given before…
I'm sure there is a manual override if your phone is dead and you have to walk over to activate it.
