Run dehumidifiers and then filter and boil the resulting water
- samstave 4y agoI, too, choose this guys dead technology! - (SERIOSULY this is a good idea if elec is free...)
- callumprentice 4y agoWe don’t need to drink the resulting water - I think we’d just it for watering the garden so we could skip the filter/boil steps.
- toast0 4y agoIf it's just to water the lawn, I don't know that you need to boil it? How well a dehumidifier will work is going to depend on your local humidity of course, which varies a lot in socal. Try to get some shade for the dehumidifier to work in, too. A well might work, depending on where your water table is, but you probably need a drilling permit, and you may need other approvals too, water in California is a complex issue. I'm anti-bitcoin, but bitcoin/etc turns electricity and gpus/asics into money, and money pays for water, so see if that makes more sense than a dehumidifier (although variations in price mean you might want to switch between things depending on price and workfactors, etc)
- callumprentice 4y agoYeah just for the lawn/garden although it might be interesting to extend it to household and even drinking water if I find a good solution. Fascinating, left field idea about generating money to pay for the water too.
