How FreiWater Turns Wasted Condensation into a Clean, Usable Water Supply

Every air conditioner naturally produces distilled-quality condensation. Most of it gets drained and wasted.

FreiWater captures that water—stores it safely—and gives you a steady supply of clean, usable water for:

  • Irrigation
  • Fire emergencies
  • Off-grid backup
  • And yes—even drinking

No pumps. No chemicals. No complicated tech.

How the System Works

A

Step 1

A third drain line is installed on your AC evaporator (usually in the attic)

A

Step 2

That line directs daily condensate to an FDA-approved outdoor tank

A

Step 3

Optional filtration turns it into ready-to-drink water

A

Step 4

You now have 300–1,200 gallons/month of distilled-quality water on hand

Install Time: ~Half a day
System Cost: Under $3,500 for most homes
Footprint: Small tank pad (~50–60 sq ft)

    What Makes FreiWater Different

    Predictable Water Supply

    Hotter weather = more AC = more water. No need for rain or wells.

    Starts Clean

    No roofing debris, animal droppings, or groundwater pollutants. It’s condensate—naturally distilled.

    Minimal Maintenance

    No filters to clean unless you add a drinking water system. No pumps needed to collect water.

    Compact Setup

    Works with a 250–500 gallon tank—no construction zones, no giant rain barrels.

    Off-Grid Capable

    Add solar or 12v pumps + gravity-fed filters and you’re prepared for blackouts or disasters.

    Water Quality: What You’re Getting

    Condensate water is:

    • Distilled-quality
    • Cold and clear
    • pH neutral (~7.2)
    • Free from chlorine, metals, or sediment
    • Safe for plants, pets, and people (with optional filter)

      Want to Drink It? Here’s How.

      With our recommended gravity-fed countertop filtration system, you can turn stored condensate into safe, great-tasting drinking water.

       3-Stage Filter Includes:

      Activated Carbon Filter

      (removes odor, chlorine, sediment)

      _

      Hollow Fiber Membrane

      (traps bacteria and micro-contaminants)

      Built-In UV Sterilization

      (kills viruses and pathogens)

      High flow rate. No plumbing. No power required.

      “We now have 340 gallons of safe, clean water in our backyard. We drink it every day.”
      — Duane Gilder, Founder

      What Are PFOS and PFOAs—and Why Should You Care?

      PFOS and PFOA are toxic “forever chemicals” found in most U.S. water supplies. Research has linked them to cancer, hormone disruption, and developmental issues in kids.

      They’ve been used for decades in things like nonstick pans, waterproof coatings, and industrial runoff—and don’t break down easily in the body or the environment. The EPA now recommends reducing PFOS/PFOA to near-zero levels in your water supply. 

      The good news?

      FreiWater’s filtration system removes:

      • Up to 99.66% PFOS
      • Up to 99.7% PFOA

      With FreiWater, you don’t have to worry about what’s in your tap because you control it.
