Also, as far as economical standards go it needs to either cost about $100 or less or be legally required to be readily accepted. Otherwise, I don't see this going big. For instance, I wouldn't get one because I already don't get sick but maybe once every other year. The only really good uses I see are for hospitals and retirement homes where people get sick alot. Perhaps third world countries could benefit, but it will take decades to spread these.
Overall, if there is something underlying that I am missing, it might be awesome. I just really don't see this hitting big anytime soon. I hope I am wrong though. If it does go big it will do great things, I just don't think people will give it a chance.

I did have the system explained to me, but honestly I don't remember it in enough detail to recount it accurately. However, I will let you know it is WAY more complicated than just boiling water. Plus, boiling water only gets rid of a few things- this literally gets rid of everything but the water.
The 'selling point' of this system, which he wasn't able to go into in detail on the time-limited segment, was that the water filtration system, paired with the power system he's also working on, can be set into third world villages and run, independently, by a few people in the village. Not only will this supply water and power for the entire village, but it creates jobs for the people living there. It may be expensive to start but its benefits far outweigh the price tag.
This system was not meant for ordinary home use- it was designed with the third world in mind. It's supposed to be for countries where most of the population is sick because of their lack of clean, affordable water. We should consider ourselves very lucky that we don't need it.
