Bonus if they can play bocce with your old Italian neighbors. |

Water extracted from the air can taste funny. When I thaw ice from my freezer it tasted weird and someone on the TV show The Dragon's Den, tried to secure investment for a dehumidifier-based water cooler, but failed because the Dragons told them it tasted weird. I think the gasses dissolved from the air such as CO2 and lack of salts, normally present in tap water, make it taste strange. |

That link looks a lot like click bait for all the advertisements that pop up as you scroll down article. So it's a big air conditioner/dehumidifier so what? |

I've seen window unit air conditioners make 10 gallons per day. Big ships get some of their water from the AC system. My mom was kind of a prepper. She told me to go buy a dehumidifier for emergency water (hurricanes and other short-term events). I told her a window unit made water and left a cool room for the same electrical spend as a dehumidifier. My dad wouldn't let her buy a window unit :-DD |
