In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Brian Chang, CEO and founder of Aquaria — the company building atmospheric water generators that turn humidity into clean, drinkable water. We explore: • How Aquaria’s systems produce water from air using principles HVAC pros already understand • Why water scarcity is becoming a growing concern in communities across the country • How mechanical contractors could play a key role in installing and supporting this emerging technology • What makes air-to-water systems different from standard dehumidification • Why homeowners are using air water for drinking, cooking and even showering • How this innovation could help in urgent situations like the current water crisis in Corpus Christi Brian and Clifton break down how a standalone outdoor unit can produce up to 250 gallons of water a day, connect to a home's existing plumbing, and deliver filtered, high-quality water on demand. Whether you’re a contractor, engineer or simply an interested student, this conversation offers an eye-popping look at where the trade is heading.
