Then you have to make sure you have the droids that speak the vaporators' binary language. 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

Distilled water also tastes strange to those accustomed to "impure" water.
