Water is shaped by the environment, thoughts and emotions. Every human consists of more than 70% of Water, even bones are watery. Liquid water is extremely common, even outside of the orbit of a star. At the present moment there is the same quantity of the Water as it was when our Planet was just born. What changed since then is that people forgot how powerful it is, how grateful every human being should be to the Water. Clusters of water molecules are the smallest and most unstable self-organizing systems in nature. Structure of the Water is very unsolid between water molecules and therefore the Water’s structure can change “from safe to harming” or “from healing to poisoning” depending on approach without adding components to the Water itself. The purpose of people should be to change memory from hate, distraction, competition to Unity and Gratefulness. Experts agree that no, even the most expensive, moisturizing cosmetic product will give such an impressive and lasting effect as good hydration of body cells. Drinking water has a profound and positive effect on health and beauty when it’s ionized and low acidic. Unlocking NCWR will bring its features closer to natural resources.

Wayout has developed a complete solution that is universally applicable and readily adoptable in any societal situation.

Quality

Wayout water is consistently of highest quality. Through a series of filtration technologies, all salts and contaminants are removed (including microplastics, PFAs and pharma residue), and by natural processes all minerals essential to human wellness are added. The water is distributed in food grade stainless steel kegs that are sterilized and refilled at the water production pod. The kegs are sealed and completely tamper proof.

Accessibility

Wayout water is fully accessible. By always producing locally, proximity to perfect water needs never to be more than a few minutes away. We can turn any source water – sea water, waste water, bore hole water, etc – into perfect drinking water, increasing local water productivity. The water production pods are autonomous and can be operated off-grid using renewable energy. They are completely integrated plug-and-play systems that are fully automated, easy to operate, and ready to deploy.

Availability

Wayout water is always available. A single system produces 9,000 liters per day; enough to meet the daily personal need for drinking and cooking water for 2,000–4,000 people during both normal and emergency conditions. Through decentralized and distributed infrastructure, both geographic coverage and emergency redundancy is ensured. The filled water kegs have a guaranteed shelf life of three years and the system is built to last for well over forty years. The IoT system is modular and flexible making Wayout’s solution future-proof.

Affordability

Wayout water is well affordable. By applying energy efficient state-of-the-art technology, the running cost for water production is very low. The water production process is fully automated and the entire cycle including distribution and dispensation is digitized. A digital twin dashboard enables real-time monitoring and control technologies to support performance, fast troubleshooting, power, and eco optimization as well as continuous improvement including cost reduction.

Sustainability

Wayout water is ecologically sustainable. No chemicals or single-use plastics are used in the process and no toxic waste or landfill is created. Only water. By the ability to use any type of local source water, by sanitizing the kegs in the production pods, and by powering the pods using renewable energy, the process is 100% self-sufficient, 100% circular, and completely carbon-neutral. Compared to single-use plastic packaged water, Wayout’s systems use 0.2% energy, 25% water resources, and eliminate up to 6.5 million plastic bottles per year.

Ethicality

Wayout water is inherently ethical. Transparency and inclusivity are essential to the system’s performance. The quality, accessibility, availability, affordability, and sustainability of Wayout water are the same for all, in any location or societal situation. The systems are ready to deploy and easy to operate, creating local green jobs, enabling economic prospects, and improving health and wellbeing that sparks positive cascade effects for the local community and for our planet.
